Default Been one helluva week - got our Brand NEW xB aaaand....

I think I'd just like to stay in bed for the rest of the week.

Started out great - this past Friday, after 3 weeks of waiting, we picked up our beautiful Polar White xB. Love it to death. Woohooo!

On Sunday, I installed a roof rack and arm rest in said car. Yay!

Sold our old grocery getter after some disapponting fits and starts in the process. Got exactly what we wanted for it. Yay!

Monday, my baby brother enlisted in the Marines. He reports 11/13. Schnikeys!

Later that evening, I won a No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em tourney. Cha-ching! Yes!

Tuesday afternoon, mom calls to tell me that not only is baby brother (19) joining the Marines, but he and his girlfriend (who none of us are very sure of) are heading to Vegas to get married. No word on what they are going to do with *her* 3 yo daughter when they go. HOLY HELL!!

And the piece du resistance:

Last night Im puttering around, getting ready to go to bed about 11:30. I hear a cop car bloop his siren and race off down the street. 2 seconds later, a second one does the same thing. Odd. as our street is a big 'u' with no thru access.

The I realize that there is a ghetto bird buzzing the neighborhood, and hear some commotion out front. Peek thru the carport window and notice a cop car across my driveway, and lots of action.

A cop notices me, runs up to the door and knocks. I open up, he says "Hello. We are chasing someone and think they are hiding either in your yard or your neighbors yard."

Grand!

I invite him to come thru the house to the backyard. He declines, asking if he can go thru my gate. "Sure, but its locked."

'Can you unlock it for me?'

"Hell no. You can do it. Heres the keys."

He takes the keys, leaves. I close the door, grab my bat and try to watch TV. Then I notice that my backyard is lit up like a stadium from the helicopter, and the light isnt moving like theyre looking for someone, its staying put like they've FOUND someone.

Yay.

A few minutes later, my doorbell rings and its a new cop.

"Hello. We are chasing someone and think they are hiding either in your yard or your neighbors yard."

'Yes, thank you, I was aware of that. PLEASE - *come thru the house*, go out there and GET HIM!'

"No, thanks, can I go thru your gate"

Sweet Jesus.

Just then we hear some maniacal yelling and the cop runs toward the source. I close the door, do a 180, take 2 steps and am about 1 more away from my back (sliding glass) door when this meth-crazed ahole LAUNCHES himself at it, starts POUNDING on it screaming for help.

The drapes were closed so it scared the living %$#@ outta me.

I 180 BACK to the carport door, kick it open and start YELLING for the cops (in the most manly way possible) "HES IN MY BACKYARD!!!! HES IN MY BACKYARD AND HES TRYING TO GET IN"

Wife wakes up, wigs, I tell her to get to the bedroom and GET DOWN!

My bat is missing and Im wigging. A peek thru the back drapes shows the laundry room door is slightly open, and we always close it.

Crap. I quietly sneak out the front door, flag a cop and tell him to come check it out. He says that they caught the guy a minute ago just over my wall and into ANOTHER neighbors yard - everything is ok.

I spent the next 45 minutes talking to the police and helping one of them look for parts of his tazer in my yard. One lead was stuck into my kid's play house thing, the other was across the yard. Never got the whole story, jsut that he was super high on Meth and on a rampage.

JEEEEZ!

So how am I? Im just %^$%^'n SPIFFY!!

Mossberg... Amen, brother. The sound of a jacking shotgun is enough to make any home invader soil themselves in fear. And if you've got a Mossberg, you're not worried about running out of ammo. You only need to shoot him once! ...then you use the machete. Awww, look... the dog's found himself a new chew toy!
