Don't everybody wear the DVD out before the chat this evening!

I'm going out a little early before lunch to pick up the DVD and drop it off at home for my little ones.

I won't be making the chat tonight, I am still working with my filtering company to allow me to get to the chat room from home.

On another note, Mrs. ksen (Tami) saw that we had some "friends" living underneath our deck outback, two racoons. I went to a feed store that rents out those "Have a Heart" traps and picked one up yesterday. I got it all set up and baited with peanut butter and Meow Mix by 8:00pm(almost trapped one of my cats before getting it inside the house ;^).

By 10:30pm our little dog (a peek-a-poo) started barking at the backdoor. We went over and looked and sure enough we had caught one of the critters. His friend was just taking off out the screendoor of the porch.

Animal Control is coming by today to empty out my trap for me. I'll try for the other racoons tonight. I was moving the trapped racoon out front and the thing was hissing and growling at me. "They may look cute and cuddly on the outside, but on the inside.......GRANITE!" (obscure movie reference).

Hehehe....
I got a Hava a hart trap for the squirrels. Caught a possum the first time we used it. It had rained that night and we had one ill-tempered wet possum to let loose! I'm just glad we didn't get a skunk!

Alas, neither will I...

Tonite is National Night Out. We're doing a joint neighborhood/pool association thingy at the pool. Since I'm president of both (don't be impressed it's a matter of finding someone gullible enough to do it), I have to be there.

I'm contemplating though staying up and watching it with Corin, Jr. when we get home at 10:00...hmmm...
