Homeownership (long story): Last week we came home and found our downstairs area was a complete mess, naturally we yelled at the cat because he is a very ba’boy and likes to get into shit. Fast forward an hour later and we realized that there were small, what we assumed, mouse droppings everywhere down there so we figured the cat was chasing it around. We have never had a rodent issue before with the exception of a couple random animals in the past (lived here since 2013) so I was confused as to how the hell it even got into our house. So, I checked the security cameras which showed our cat Thaddues aka Mr. Moe, aka PoopPaw and many more, stalking our chimney and exhaust pipe from our propane fireplace. Red squirrel comes flying out the back of the fireplace and the chaos begins. Cat chased it around for a good 10 minutes but it was the red squirrel that caused the mess, it knocked all my wife’s crafting stuff on the floor and a tone of other shit. Eventually the Mighty Yion Cub known as Thaddeus had enough, realized it was past nap time and went to go sweepy.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE RED SQUIRREL NOW!!! I knew it was still down in the crafting\workout\drum set area and went looking. Found the little asshole hiding in a box of crafting stuff. Now I get to chase it around for a good 5 minutes watching this little bastard bounce off my bass drum head first about 10 times, pretty good rhythm, and smack itself into my deadlift bar before it “clicked” to open the windows and let it find itself out. 5 seconds later it was out the window and gone. I stood there kind of sad and dissatisfied because I really want to catch it and kill it, in the most humane way possible…anger and RAGGGEEEE.
Now I’m wondering how it got down our chimney and back up through the exhaust pipe of the fireplace. Break out the ladder, I don’t do heights very well, get on the roof with shaky legs and realize we don’t have a chimney cap. I thought we did, swore we did, but there are no signs of one ever being installed.
So, in conclusion, we apologized to Thaddeus gave him some beef squeezies as a peace offering and I completed the added DLC of this whole charade and got a new chimney cap installed this morning.

1 awwsI just got home from seeing "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice."
As a movie, it failed miserably. As a showcase for actors and practical effects, it shines. As a vibe, it's dead on.
2.5 out of 5 stars.
