I think his cousin invited him over for waffles

Believe it or not I bought a DO Cookbook with a recipe for Coon

Good One Rocky!!!

I'd say she's sleeping, 'cause I don't see Doug and Lee making funny faces at her.

But two got away.

I think I got a picture or two of the two that Gage is refuring to you can see them in gathering pics on my website.

P.S. I felt like a tennis judge scince I was between Italia's camp & emiller's camp. But I think Italia's camp won the match thanks to her hubby better known as the bandit chaser, watching his cap light running all over in the middle of the night gave me a stomachache from laughing so hard.

Just a little color from the campfire...

Let me set the scene, its late at night,everyone is a little tense, the smell of cigar smoke and rum in the air, a campfire crackles, As we all try to stay calm after the previous evenings wilding by a band of masked critters the owner of the rocketear begins a tail in his best Robert Shaw from "JAWS" voice....

“SoCal submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, chief. It was comin' back, from the island of Montana De Oro, just delivered the Dutch Ovens. Didn't see the first Raccoon for about a half an hour. Grey One. Thirteen footer. You tell by lookin' from the little mask to the tail. Well, we didn't know. `Cause our waffle mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Very first light, chief. The raccoons come cruisin'. When a raccoon come near a man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the raccoon would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that raccoon, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a raccoon, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many raccoons, maybe a thousand! I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the raccoons took the rest, September 14th 2007 Anyway, we ate a bunch of waffles.

Ya know Ken, I just couldn't sleep and those little buggers seem to be having such a great time, me and my sling shot just wanted to join in the fun. We camped at the crossroads from the creeks coon condos to the banquet and fun park and they all visited us first. I think we will keep all of the scratches the rascals left in our teardrop as kindling for story telling around the campfire. I'm glad you had a chuckle. Someone actually has a A DO recipe for coon?Please post it.--dano)

[Ken Fincher]

Well you gave me a good laugh that one night. I just returned from the outhouse then that little light just kept on darting all over it kind of reminded me of videos you see on tv of ufo's your light would move real fast then it looked as if you we're going in circles then your light would vanish and then I would see it zipping and darting all over.

You made my night except I was laughing so hard I had to put some pants on & head for the outhouse again. ( I did'nt think it was a good idea to go in my shorts you probably had them coons all pist off) that was probably a good idea , there we,re about 6 that I could see around the trash can.


P.S. I hope I did'nt mispell to many words it is kind of dark out here in my spa.


Talk at ya soon.

I'm with you Ken I watched the dance of Dans light too.I was watching from inside my tear and watched him run round and round and I could hear the sling shot. too funny.

[doug hodder]

George...thought you might like this...today at the store had a bunch of ladies going up to a quilting retreat at Lake Tahoe...I told them to watch out for the bears...they said...."No problem, we brought some bottles of PineSol along with us, bears don't like it!!" had to laugh...yeah I heard that it works really well with the 'Coons...but bears...well, I dunno!!!! For those of you that weren't at the SLO...a number of us did pour PineSol around our trailers...I think it sort of worked, as I didn't have a real problem...but the smell of a dog in my site might of helped...but for a bear...I don't think so....the bears in Tahoe this year are really aggressive.

I'm working on a coon catapult that uses garage door springs to send those pesky coons a good 50 ft back down into the creek, I think Jiffy Pop popcorn will make good bait.-dano
just kidding

[doug hodder]

So Dan...is your plan to just wear them out by making them walk up the hill a whole lot of times? Just curious... doug
