“In this field we have a slew of deer and on this street we have a car; driven by *ba ba buuuuuum* Margaret Thaden!!!! Which one will prevail and which one will fall? We shall see in the following post!!”

Wednesday morning and Margaret is leaving for work. She’s going down one of the snow routes for the hospital which means it’s traveled on quite frequently. As she’s going down a hill she sees a deer pop out of the field on her left and dart across the road. Well, she’s already going slow, but she slows down even more to around 10 to 12 miles an hour. And as she’s creeping by the area where deer number one flew across, WHAM!!! Damned deer number two ran into the side of her car. From what she said the deer ran into the headlight on the drivers side, flew on top of her hood, slid off, and then ran away.

“Oh, and that’s a bad miss!”

Margaret goes up the road a notch or two and pulls off into a parking lot to look at the damage and she sees that the bumper is pulled out and that the turn signal doesn’t work. Other than that, so far so good. Then she hears glass shatter and another car pulls in beside her. This guy came out asking if she saw the deer. After Margaret explained that she got hit, the guy looked at her car and said, “that’s nothing, look what that deer did to my car!! It kicked my car’s ass!” Seems like the guy slowed down to, but he happened to hit a deer and the thing fell over. As he was getting out of his car to check on the animal, the deer was kicking and broke all of his headlights trying to get up. As it got up, it some how managed to jump on the hood of his car and really mess it up.

We thought the damage wasn’t too bad and that it’d be under our deductible. Boy were we wrong. Damned estimate was $1,700 dollars and that didn’t even include a new fender if they couldn’t fix the one that’s on there.

Seems the deer pushed in the headlight and bashed the total backside of that: new headlight. It pulled the bumper out and put a nice crack in it: new bumper. And it curled the end of the fender where it meets the headlight: possible new fender. The rest is paint and labor, but my Lord what a pain.

“As you can see folks it’s a draw. The car survived and the deer ran off; hopefully to it’s death. Till next time: Road, KILL!!!”

That’s right, I forgot. It’s old Jeffin’ AGE!!!!

He let out a big sigh that said “Lady I’m trying to lay here and relax and then you come along with that contraption and bother me.” and then he got up. He seemed a little put out that I wouldn’t leave him alone and kept taking his picture.

Okay so it’s not cocaine, but Lucas still has a habit of eating snow that he needs to break.

Today she turned 32 and I have to say, for a 78 model, she’s holding up quite nicely. I mean the falling spells are new, but overall she’s as beautiful as the day we met.

Happy Birthday sweetness!!!

I love you!

You know how it is with old houses and two pronged outlets, you can’t plug in anything that has a ground wire on it. So today we decided to remedy that by installing new wire and outlets for two plugs in the room we got our hobbies set up in. We now have two great plugs that are on their own 20 amp breaker.

The real fun lies in what was found while looking for wires. Dave; our contractor friend; was commenting on how pathetic it was that there was cardboard being used as insulation in the attic. Well, he started pulling it back to see if any wires were back there and he mentions that he sees a magazine. So we’re thinking they put a ton of magazines behind the cardboard for insulation. He decides to go ahead and pull the cardboard off, because really it isn’t doing anything and I notice some clothing at the bottom. He finally tears off the big piece of cardboard and we find nasty used panties, bra tops, and a nudie magazine. We start laughing about it and I holler for Margaret to see the new found treasure we happened upon. She was so grossed out she said, “Dave stop touching that stuff! I’ll be right back!” You hear her tear ass into the basement and then back upstairs and she is wearing rubber gloves and has a trash bag in hand. Then she makes Dave wash his hands. I was laughing my ass off.

So it comes down to who would hide that stuff behind some cardboard in the attic and what were they doing with it?

Me, I think it was some pervo guy that was putting those used panties on his head, so he could sniff them while jacking off to the nudie magazine. All the while looking through the leg holes.

Yep, one sick feller right there.
