We Interrupt This Regularly Scheduled Post...

I was gonna post part 2 of the Cruise report, but something unexpected happened.

Moose!

Haven't seen hide nor hair of a moose since sweet hubby bought me the pistol. Today it's a beautiful day out. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the snow is deep and sparkley. And standing right in the middle of it, in the side yard, was a great big huge bull moose, antlers and all.

Yessss!!!!!!!

Did I run for the camera? I did not! I got my pistol. Now we find out if the plan will work. I cocked the gun, unsnapped the safety, aimed, and fired! Darn! Nothing happened. It's undo the safety first, then cock the gun. Lets try this again-as the moose gazes at me with curiosity. That's it baby, move that nice fat rump around my way....

Cock, aim, FIRE! Ha! I missed him by 2 inches-but the paint ball hit the hard snow just past him. The noise startled him. He took off. I shot at him 4 more times. Don't know if I hit him or not, but he kept moving and that's what's important.

All hail the mighty Moosinator!



Have a great day!

  1. I don't know why I think this is so funny. Forgive me while I laugh. And laugh, and laugh, and laugh!
