WELL - CRAP ON A CRACKER - NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO DO..

Be safe with your travels.. Not sure exactly where you are but it is terrible here (Morganton).  I live a short distance up a small mountain and it has been nothing but ice for a week.  Could have gotten out Fri afternoon but would not have been able to get back in without hiking up  on ice.  20 years ago I would have done it.  Just not in the cards for me to be able to do it at this time.  While checking on things yesterday  afternoon ended up on my ass. Getting back up was a challenge.

now snow.  Feels like I'll never get out of here.

Hobs, glad you are getting  a humane trap for the opossum.  Poor thing just wants to be warm too.

Good luck and stay safe everyone.

By the way...having trouble finding anything good on Netflix that I have already watched.  Any suggestions?

Sorry LP …. Wish I could help,  but I’m not a Netflix subscriber. I stream thru YouTube mostly, also an Amazon ‘PRIME’ member, so I use those. Incidentally, PRIME has a lot of movies and series available … most of which are free. The ones that aren’t can be ‘rented’ for a small fee and you have a couple of days to use them before they revert back. 

Sounds like you’re worse off than most. I have about 4-5 inches of snow right now. Still coming down lightly. Not TOO bad - I have 4WD so I can get in and out here (STAR). About the center of the state. I would seriously recommend you consider some ice add-ons for your shoes. I bought a pair two years ago (from Amazon) and they’ve saved me several times (AFTER I learned my lesson about ice on porch steps..). But I’m a quick study, it only took once. These are rubber with hardened steel ice studs on the bottom. Just stretch them over your shoes/boots and you’re safe - more or less. As long as you’re careful. If I can find my order info I’ll post a link. Won’t do you any good now, but you’d have them for next time.

Be careful out there everyone. 

My opossum mess is playing out in real time. I THINK two of them got in when I had my back turned. I remembered I previously used a trap like this in my attic for a squirrel that got in around an attic vent. He was pissed when I caught him.!! Pulled my attic stairs down and found that other trap. It’s a lot smaller, but I’m going to set that one too. He/she (they..??) made a LOT of noise so I’m wondering if there might be two of them or a family… ??? Thinking back to when it happened, I was down by my truck for several minutes closing tailgate and watching Gypsy. I guess a whole herd of them could have invaded. ? OMG-let’s hope not. Found a mess in the kitchen this morning. A bag of apples on the floor torn open. I know there was more than five in the bag, so at least I know something to use for bait. — Trying to keep a positive attitude here…. I guess this is part of living in the country …..
