Today's task

[fitzw]

Yes, singular: Shovel out the chicken coop and put in fresh bedding.

That will pretty much take up the whole day.

Oh, wait, one more task: Set up the deadfall to catch that ^#%$(*^&^@ weasel.

I feel your pain - about the cleanup, that is - my only uninvited visitor was a possum, which I bludgeoned with a 2x4. My barn is still a bit too soggy to be shoveled out, which is too bad, because it is pretty ripe :( Good luck with the shoveling and the catching!

The process is about half done. The tractor that I was going to use to shift the manure after I shoveled it out is behind a barn door blocked with several inches of ice, so I needed to ask a nephew to put the bucket on another tractor (the one that normally has the plow for the winter).

The deadfall is missing a critical piece: the stone. So, instead, I have a Victor rat-trap and two Hav-a-Hart traps set up, baited with bacon. Personally, I hope it's the Victor that gets him.

I always want to torture the stinking things for doing what it is they do.
Hope he dies, and fast.
