[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1901312, member: 109113"] Looks like you fixed his wagon. That one was way too bold. Now you lady's back yard haven is all back to normal. That glint in the eye thing can be a bit spooky sometimes - my wife gets that too. Last time I saw "the look" was when we had a squirrel problem in our back yard. There was a bunny-hugger who lived right behind us who fed them peanuts. This attracted every squirrel in a square mile area into our yard, where the little monsters destroyed EVERYTHING. They buried the peanuts in own lawn, and it was all dug up like a bombing range most of the time. They chewed on everything, and were particularly hard on the drip irrigation system. Forget about the vegetable garden. One day, though, they crossed the line and ate a bunch of my wife's roses. BIG mistake. First we tried squirrel repellant - the stuff with the hot peppers in it. They ate that like candy. I built cages around the roses bushes out of chicken wire, and they climbed them like a ladder. Now they could eat all the way to the top of the plant. They figured out that one of them wasn't heavy enough for their body weight to squash down the wire cage to where they could get to the flowers, but two of them were. So, they started operating in pairs. That was when she told me to kill them …….. slow-w-w-w-w-w-w-wly. I told her that was cruel, and she said do it any way you want to , but [B]get rid of them.[/B] Well, the .177 pellet rifle has been living next to the back door ever since, and if I told you how many of the little b*****ds I've shot in the last ten years, you would never believe it.
