Maggie’s What's Your View II

Just across the river from our Maintenance Station

Water heater is leaking. Discovered because somehow the pilot light went out. Only 7 years old on a water softener but could not change the anode rod. Didn't want to drill it out and tried everything short of that a few years ago. Can't convince the wife to go tankless but at least I can upgrade to bigger than a 40 gallon.

Came home from dinner to find the semi-feral orange kitty who’s supposed to be keepin’ the varmints away from the house passed out asleep on our front porch with an interloper!

They both jumped up when we turned on the porch light…like teenagers gettin’ caught making out!

If I wasn’t so worried about that dang skunk sprayin’ the house I’d have tried to run it off, but decided to let ‘em be.

Ya if you shoot it anywhere close to the house you will be sore for a month. Lol

Last summer had one drowned in the horse trough 50 feet from the house at the farm. It sprayed everything. I had to fish it out with a rake and walk it out a couple hundred yards.

Actually got lucky with the water trough, I ran water till it overflowed for a long while. Horses still wouldn't touch it. A few days later it rained for a couple days and life was better again.

I got sprayed as a young kid and still makes me want to vomit 🤢.

Tread lightly.
