HAPPY NEW YEAR fb I had a different and most fun New Years Eve night. Chester had 4 flying squirrels that had homesteaded his nice enclosed deer stand. When he hunted they were not happy and was using his stand as an nice cozy home/bathroom. So as I love squirrels and dont have any flying squirrels on the compound we decided to move them to a new home. I have water, acorn trees, etc for them. will even let them live in my shop if the please. So we set out to catch them. The two of us in the stand and the 4 squirrels. Turns out they are fast as lighting and slick as butter! We finally caught all four and made it down the latter to where Dad was stationed with a nice large cage to transport them in. We deposited all 4 in the cage. One thing that makes the capture so hard is how gentle you must be with the little critters. We had not noticed two small holes in the cage. Promptly 2 squirrels escaped. One climbing on Chester and the other on to Dad. Looked like the living dead having spasms as we tried to capture the little buggers as they circled Chester and Dads bodies. Finally the one on Chester jumped to the stand and climbed up and went in meanwhile we lost sight of the one on Dad. Too tired to make the climb back into the stand we took the 2 by and showed them to Mom. Then took them to my shop. Before I could settle them in my phone rang. It was Mom and she said when Dad had removed his coat after coming inside the 4th squirrel had sprang out and disappeared behind the piano! Not good news. Chester and I arrived and started to dismantle the piano. The squirrel decided things were getting a little crazy and went into the space heater. He may had been about crazy by then as Mom and I had tried to run him out of the piano by playing, and in my case I mean banging on the piano. Quite a disturbing sound I might add. We finally get him to leave the space heater and he shoots under the couch on the far side of the room. Chester and I are on our knees deciding if we need to get the chain saw to dismember the couch to get it, when Mom screams from the kitchen here it is. I am backing Chester as we hit our knees in the kitchen with towels in hand to get it once and for all. Success as Chester captures it and I put it into my towel for transfer to the Compound when as quick as the speed of light he jumps back free. Chester is like why did you let him go? Im on my knees like a crazed meth head chasing it down once again while telling him, well I didnt mean to! Well, I got him finally and carried him to be with his buddies. I was one wore out ole man! Was going to offer them a welcome to your new home beverage, but none of them could produce a ID.
