I "ran over" a coyote with a .223 just last night!

We have German Shepherds and live on a ranch in the country. The varmints were trying to get my dogs' food. So, while PETA may be upset, if they do not like it THEY can feed the coyotes. We get a lot of them! Normally we just scare them off but they seem to be getting more confrontational now.

Good to see MOST of J-Mobile survived. Good reason to tell the wife you need to upgrade! Wasn't there a GT3 bumper for sale here recently? Maybe it was good luck for you J-man! (I would type out your name but cannot get the "a" thingy to work for me). Where is that key on my keyboard?

At least you were not injured "doing the speed limit"…ahhh yeah!

Yup Coyotes out my way as well in Socal. I like the nightly howl chorus.

Cougars as well eat hikers/cyclers every now and then out this way.....the 4 legged kind mostly.

I guess Wiley Coyote was not so Wiley this time.

Bumper upgrade time.....wooo hooo!

Off to see the claims adjuster… I will see if OEM bumper or if I have a choice of aftermarket.

if you're on a mac, just hold down the option (alt) key, the modifier key and then the letter you want. so for jäger's ä, option+u (for umlaut), then a. also works for ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ

the other characters are:
tilde = option+n
circumflex = option+i
acute = option+e
grave = option+`

on a mac, alt+0 just gets the degrees symbol (451º)

now back to your regularly scheduled posts...
