Critters at the compound
I woke up around 3 a.m. and couldn't find Timmy, which is unusual. So I went downstairs and found him growling and hissing at the window.
Earlier in the evening, he was growling and caterwauling at something outside, so I set the trap and set up the game came, locked the cat door so Timmy couldn't go out. It's really not safe up here for cats, or anything else, really.
I peeked outside and saw the fox trying to get at the remnants of our rotisserie chicken. I was like...oh yeah...come to papa. But he'd somehow sprung the trap without getting inside of it and I couldn't find the AR-15 because it wasn't where I normally keep it.
So I went outside in the snow in my underwear and bare feet and reset the trap. I'm not sure if I'll catch him tonight or not, but I'll probably have some gamecam photos to post
in the morning.

Place your clothes and your weapons where you can find them in the dark.

That's a pretty good advice. I could have grabbed my pistol I suppose, but it was upstairs.
