Un easy rider

Headed to town in my van yesterday and before i left i let it warm up abought ten minutes.I jumped in and got abought 20 feet down my drive and slammed on the brakes when a squirrel jumped on my shoulder,ran down my arm,jumped off my hand and did a header off the windshield,ran back up my arm and jumped off my shoulder in to the back of the van.   

What a long strange trip it's been

Things are always alittle different in my world! A few years back i did run off the road in my 60 when a blue bird came out from under the seat started flaping on my lap and proceded up my chest to my face.

Jeezus! I remember I had a 66 Fairlane that had speaker holes in the package tray for 6x9s. The quarters where rusted out pretty good but at 19 it was a cool ride. Im on my way to work and about to make a lane change.I check my mirror and theres a cat staring wildly at me! Scared the crap out of me!!!! His head sticking out the speaker hole. He was never the same after that ride! 

I would have sh%#it my pants!

I had to check just to make sure you weren't from Colorado or Washington State! Funny story, too bad you didn't have a dash cam to catch the live action!!!   

Donn, i almost filled um  If being rattled by the squirel wasnt bad enough,when i hit the brakes the can of gas in the back tipped over and aparently i didnt have the top on right.To make it worse i had a propane mr buddy heater on the floor lit as i havent run new hoses to my heater core yet.Im just glad i thoght to shut the heater off quick before i opened the door and bailed out.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!

Thanks, I needed a good hard laugh this morning!

You just can't make that stuff up! That would make a really funny scene in a movie! LMAOROF!!!

A comercial for depends...Never get in the vehicle with out them cause you never know whats going to happen next!

Lucky You-slowrider!!!!!!!!!!!!---- Could have beeen a -------SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!       

Twinpilot,Ive had a few more close calls with snakes than i care to already.Mostly in salvage yards under vehicles.I dont think most were venomous,but i dont know.They still sent me scurrying away.I was rough camping once in the baraboo range when a shot rang out and scared the hell out of me.I never saw the poacher but knew he was close.Right after the bang i could hear the bullit whiz by my head.I hollered dont shoot and took off running.The bedrowl on my pack got hung up on the briars i was running through and i ended up on my face. A foot and a half in front of my head was a large timber rattler eyeing me up and shakeing his rattle. That made me faster than a bullit jumping up and getting the hell out of there.Ive hit a few deer witch sucks but the worst :son of a bitch boys,we aint agona make it moment was when a 300lb black bear ran in front of me.

Slowrider, what do your friends call you? Lucky? You should write a book!

Vanny,im lucky i live 8o miles south of moose territory!    Last fall i was out at night with the wife doing 60 when 10
yards ahead of us a bear came into view in the headlights.Thank goodnes he turned and went straight as i never had time to hit the brakes.Pretty sure we parted his hair though.

Sounds like never a dull moment up there! Let me know if you spot a Squatch, my grandson is always knocking on trees trying to get a response.

man,you could really mess with him bad! 

I'd rather he be able to sleep at night...Otherwise, I'm up all night and have to hear it from my wife. I'm more fearful of her than a Squatch!

 ,Ive seen enough Jack Link messin with the Squatch comercials to know to leave him alone.15years or so ago some bigtime squatch hunter moved up to these parts and of course he spotted tracks in the forest abought 10 miles from here.My friends just figured hed picked up one of my trails.. https://youtu.be/ZZB5RniJlVM

That was PRICELESS!!!

story time!

my brother and I were out turkey hunting when we came across a 4' long black rat snake sunning itself on the trail. It was cold so we caught it and put it in a small cardboard box to take home and play with for a bit.

So there we are cruising down the highway in his old ford truck and I hear this blood curdling scream from the drivers seat. Evidently the snake got warmed up and pushed its way out of the box. It then proceeded to try and hide in my brothers t-shirt by entering through the armpit of his right shirt sleeve, he had his right hand on the wheel and that snake went right in there.

I don't know how we survived that one without a fiery crash but we were able to get the thing back into the box and get home safely.
