Nice, Rocky is in a better place now. We had a simulare experence with an armadillo a month ago except we used a baby fishing net and a garbage can. Job well done Trey, but did he scratch the bus?

Subject: [tcb] I was in the garage fighting with the racoon
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 13:03:54 -0500

Got up this morning, wife comes in to tell me something fell off the shelves in the garage, stuff was all over the floor. I went in the garage to see a bunch of bus parts (Bus content) on the floor next to her car. So I'm walking between the bus shelves and her car when something moves. Out comes a raccoon hissing and really pissed off that I have awakened him. (I'm thinking where's a good Arkansas boy when you need him...)

so I get Dee to move her car out of the  garage, I put the welding gloves on (Northern tool $2 ) thinking I've had these gloves for 2 years finally going to get to use them ( I'm stoked or either stupid) .So I get the cat cage we use to bring the cat to and from the vet and I'm ready...

So I start my move. get the raccoon in to the corner, he's hissing, the wife is screaming something about rabies and the 4 year kid next door is like, get him Mr. Trey, get him......

I got him into the cage with little fanfare, drove about 10 miles out in the country and let him go next to some woods with a creek....

This was all in memory of Steve Irwin..... He would have been proud....
