Because I havent in a while

Well I've noticed an influx of obnoxious, loud, inconsiderate young(er than I) people out and about so I guess that means school is out. Great, a few months of trying not to be run off the road by terrible freshly licensed people... lol. I really hope I was never like some of these kids... I can't seem to recall...

Had the in-laws and my parents out to the house for a little BBQ this past weekend, it was good times. Glad the weather shaped up and gave us some sun instead of the rain we haf been having. I was going to grill anyway, cuz... I'm hardcore like that. FINALLY got my dog run built, the dogs seem to enjoy it. Got a nice tree to lay out under and lots of room. They would rather be inside but, the weather is finally nice enough we just let them in at night. The night I finished the dog run the dogs slept out in it and we had a pack of Coyotes come visit and sing to the dogs and they joined in the chorus. Now it seems the Coyotes like to come every night and sing... It's beyond annoying and if I didnt have neighbors in such close proximity I'd go out and make a stand and let them meet my .243... But I can't.

I was out gathering some rocks off my road as free landscaping material and came across some BIG cat prints in the dirt. Bigger than a Bobcat that's for sure, so I'm thinking we have a Mountain Lion lurking somewhere around. I havent heard a cat or seen sign around the house yet so that's good. Makes me worry when I'm at work and the wife's home alone though. She knows how to use the pistol and shotgun though so... Put's my mind a little more at ease.

It's a trip... I was thinking back yesterday while I was on the treadmill at work. I'm about to start my 3rd year in the Fire Service. I've been out of highschool for SEVEN years. I'm hearing songs that came out when I was in sixth grade being played on the classic rock station. My sister is getting married in 2 weeks. My dog is 5 years old...lol Kinda freaked me out... I was like "Whoa... I'm like... A grown up and stuff... That's weird..."

Ha ha ha, Glad to know I am not the only one having some of those "Oh Crap I am getting old" moments! BTW you do realize that with only 3 more years we will be up for a 10 year High school reunion. EEEKKKK!

Yes, I would say you have a mountain lion...well 2 actually. My sis got a homeowner association newsletter that said there are a pair of mtn lions roaming the area. You in male and the other female. I guess several people in the area have lost their animals to these big cats. Might want to be careful leaving your dogs out!
