Some one must have been talking about trapping.... here we go!
The new thing he says, is a box with a body grip trap in the opening..... He was going to build some..... By gosh he was gone and came back with some lumber scraps..... I know better than to ASK a question.... (pisses him off in an instant)....so I waited and eventually he told me he got it from the neighbor....
NOTE: (Tom doesn't like questions as it confuses him and IF he had a train of thought? it is now gone and he can't answer your question, which causes frustration and comes out in anger.
So I went about my OWN business mowing and weed whacking, to be out near him but minding my OWN business, not HIS. (It's ME that confuses him because I can't mind my OWN business) You Have To Chuckle......
I seen he set up the saw horses in front of the house..... Got out his skill saw, measure tape, level, hammer, nails, pencil, trap.........
I could hear him humming as he was thinking, measuring, thinking, measuring.....I went back to minding my own business as it drives me crazy to watch him struggle. It takes him all day to do something so simple...... It's a B O X the size of the trap!
I hear the saw... I say a prayer to GOD that he keeps all his digits in tact..... THAN.....M O M!!!!!!!!! he hollers. He needs me to hold his short 2x4 while he rips it...........It was maybe 3 feet long. We were all set to cut it and just like that, the saw was DEAD...
AFTER he settled down and was composed again he decided to cut it with the chain saw...... OH MY! He headed back to the shack... I followed not sure if I should stick my neck out and ask where he was going.
There was some distance between us so I said "where are you going?" Whew... he said to get his chain saw. I said "it's in front of the house where you are working." He calmly said.."Oh it is?"
So he came back and cut his board holding it with his foot.....there was no blood gushing from his foot so I figured that went okay but I better find something safer for him to cut with. I suggested the jig saw... He was fine with that and it was MUCH safer than the other two choices......
I was going to go back to minding my OWN business but he said he needed my help and it wasn't like I was doing anything anyway..... I thought no but I like the distance thing when he's doing a project. I do have a hard time keeping my mouth shut....
So I did as he asked, kept quiet unless I was asked for my
Today he is off looking for places to set his traps this fall. I'm thinking it may be time to look into a GPS or something.
