I thought I'd lighten things up and tell a funny story. A true funny story. About 2 weeks ago, I was looking for a welding clamp and went over to my welder cart where I had a box of them. I keep the whole shebang covered up, so I reach into where I think I can grab a clamp and something tags me. I think what the hell was that? So I peel back the cover and here is this dude sleeping (or was) in my welding helmet on a pair of gloves. He's just sitting there with this big, wide mouth full of teeth open, but no aggression.
Probably in my stupidity, I picked up the helmet, possum and all and carried the thing out to the yard. Now, I just got a brush with the thing, no broken skin. Nevertheless, I washed up real well and poured peroxide on the area.
I wish I could say I was really scared, in fact, a snake would have scared the crap out of me. I'm still trying to figure out how long he was trapped in the garage. I know where he lives if I ever need him.
We have a bit of wildlife hard in the city. I've been face to face with a raccoon and we have some big ass rats. Squirrels have just arrived.
Last thing I would have thought of was to have my hand in a possum's mouth right next to the Boxster. I don't reach into blind spots anymore.
Sorry, wrong forum. I looked on how to delete, but I can't do it.
