    A few years ago after our last cat had passed, my wife told me to shoot her if she ever wanted to get another one.

    Well you guessed it, she came home with two of them! The mother was killed and these kittens were about 5 weeks old. So, for about 3 weeks I've been helping out babysitting and feeding them.

    Now that they're 8 weeks old they're more self sufficient and I don't have to feed them anymore. Now it's keeping my dog Jones from eating them and Zeva from playing too rough with them! It is a lot of work.

    Should I shoot my wife..... twice?

    That is a tough spot to be in. Just look at how they are already working out your demise, sizing you up, determining your patterns and weaknesses, assessing the best way to kill you in your sleep. Waiting...patiently. Evil little jerks.

    Hubby and I are in drive and a car pulls in to entrance and sits a long while. Finally I said I'll handle this and start walking. The car starts down drive and stops 15 ft from me. A woman mumbling behind a mask gets out. I said I can't hear you and she says I'm from the census. I'm not here for you the neighbor. I said it's a hunting camp.she said not a residence? She must have asked that 4 times before saying we may need more information can I have your name?.
    What do you need my name for when you need the owners information? If you need information that's what the town has tax records for. Then in frustation she says, than give me your phone #. No you have no need for my phone #. Well she says that's the way we do it. I said that may be so, though they are doing it wrong and bottom line I DO NOT GIVE OUT INFORMATION FOR ANY REASON. That place isn't even listed as a residential property it has no electricity. She says ya it says here wires are cut at pole. I said I see you have the info you need. It has no septic nor plumbing it's a hunting camp . She gave up and left. Not far though she sat on the road above our drive ,we caught her when we took the Gator across the street. Now if she has any intelligence, she will not darken my door yard again. She used up my quota of polite.

    So I have been accused of being a militant Packer fan unking to viking fans. I have always said I have my reasons on was the keying of my 1974 IH Scout 2 in a cub parking lot a day after a Packer victory. Well today just reinforced it I was quiet I did not rub it in at work I was kind. I get home and I look out and some POS low life loser stole the Packer flag off my flag pole. For what I paid for the flag it was worth that some azz hurt loser was so offended that they had to steal something that was not theirs. Sorry not sorry any viking fan that makes a comment on my hat, jacket, hoodie while I mind my own business is going to get both barrels back when you comment.

    My last interaction with a petulant smallish census person was about the same. I may have been more direct about informing him to get the hell off my property before I cram him back in his prius sideways. Something about it was his job to ask probing questions outside of yes I live here and yes that is my name.

    Guess I did not have enough cats to try to herd at work I get to be the project leader on the new software we are implementing. I get to meet with the sales people, engineering, production, accounting, purchasing, and administration. One thing I learned in the first meeting never have them meet together at the same time ever again. I also decided that no meeting will be longer than an hour and a half so at 45 minutes I stop and make sure that we are still on topic and that the scheduled end is in 45 minutes so stay on task and topic. I blame covid for this normally I would not be in the office.

    All these school districts sending out non stop text messages and emails. Been happening for four years since my oldest hit high school. Listen here...I don't care about the morning announcements. And I don't care what the kids learned about today. I don't. Now its getting worse with covid. I don't care about your health procedures. I don't care that you care about me.

    Today I get home check the mail box out on the road and inside was my packer flag. I had already ordered a bigger replacement. It almost restores my faith in viking fans, nah still crybaby losers.

    My son headed to the boundary waters with his buddies Thursday- Sunday. Begged him to wear a life jacket. Spend weeks and weeks up there on fires, prepping for burns, doing burns. It can be pretty unforgiving for the inexperienced and the water is already cold.

    Well what a **** show of a day this has been. Started off kinda decent. Got body back onto jeep been working on, then went down hill from there. Had to go help neighbor dig up water line for hydrant. In process of that ripped stitches back open on hand hurt first week of month. So head back to ER, to be told "we can't just stitch that back up, could be infected." So now Monday get to go to another doctor who's some specialist so he can "do better job" stitching it closed. Sounds like shoulda saw him first time.

    Then get home and the little beater been driving around while working on jeep has a rim that's rusted out and about to come apart. So now down both vehicles amd didn't get crap done today that wanted to.

    So pretty much done doin favors for anybody for while. Especially when get nothing but excuses when I need a hand.
