Aww, com'on guys you mean I hafta' be nice??? and I want'ed em' to think I was that "crusty" old cowboy that lived at the end of the road that always carries a gun.
What do you think about, leave the gate open till' dark then open it at, oh, say, 8am (ish)? oh, and it has to be electric open, and we each get an "opener".....also better leave it open ALL the time in the winter cause' it's gonna be right at the bottom of a steep little grade right at a corner that I've slid around more than once....
We'll see.
Edit to add: I did talk to the son yesterday (he's in his 40's
) he walked up (his trucks broke down) to the house to kinda give me a warning that some of his "former" felon friends were after him and had been for a couple years because of him getting them arrested and sent to jail for theft (or something) and he was pretty sure they had been on their property sneaking around. He said they came in through the woods just below my place. He knew it was them because he "recognized" their tracks (one of them is bowlegged)...
But, he also told me one time he had an iron jawed horse that would run away with you at the slightest cause and one he ran away with his brother so they tried to get ahead of him in a pickup to "head him off at the gate" and (they ?) clocked him for a mile and a quarter at over 50 miles an hr. I never heard if they got to the gate in time or not....I don't think he appreciated my laughing....said he had witnesses...
Gonna be a long rest of my life here I think....I think I'll put up a gate coming in to my property. (actually I have one but it's always open) No one gets an "opener" but me and the missus....
