So this morning like every morning I walk down to the beach about a half mile away. I have to go down this big hill and at the bottom, just before the stairs there is this house and the guy has this big, vicious dog.



He sometimes lets it run loose and poop all over the place including the stairs to the beach and stairs up to summer cottages where I walk after the beach.

This time of the year, I can't really get on the sand on the beach because the bottom stairs are not there as they remove them, so the storms of the winter don't destroy them. Because of this, when I go down the stairs, about 60 of them I have to turn around to come back up.

As I start coming up, I hear this big dog. I don't really like this dog because I know his only thought in this world is to tear off my leg.

I think it's a mutt. Anyway I am not afraid of much but this dog scares me and he is not really allowed to be walking around off a leash on a public road and pooping all over the place.

When I drive there, he jumps around my car and tries to rip off one of the tires, and those off-road tires are expensive.

I have no place to go and have to go past this vicious creature, but I know he is there so I have a can of "dog spray" with me.

This stuff is a dog training aid and doesn't hurt the dog, it just makes a loud noise that is supposed to sound like geese. I don't know if dogs are afraid of geese, but I would rather it sounded like a lion, Nancy Pelosi, or the Loch Ness Monster.

The dog starts barking and snarling at me, so I take out the spray. You are supposed to spray it up in the air and not at the dog. Maybe it sounds more geese like if you do that.

Just before I pulled the trigger, I hear the guy calling the dog.

"HEY GODZILLA" come over here. "GODZILLA, HERE BOY".
The mongril looks at his owner, then at me, then back to his owned, then back to me.

He isn't sure to remove my leg or go home. Eventually he turns and goes to his owner and I continued home with all my parts.

I think I am going to also buy pepper spray. This way, if the dog looks like he is going to bite me, I will spray the pepper into "MY" eyes so I don't see him taking my leg off. 😬

Wasn't sure if I should laugh at this or be upset that you have to deal with an idiot and his dog. Thankfully the dog did not choose violence this morning and your legs are intact.
 
Talking of which what are these and who remembers them. Strangely enough, not fish related.

Remember... LOL
Overriders... Pre-1973... Italian? Fiat?
Yes overriders but I don't know from which make or model of car. I will hopefully fit them to the front bumper of my JBA Falcon. Am just waiting for some stainless steel coach bolts to arrive in a few days.

There is a Dorretti that I work on that has those oblong heads... They are just aluminum cast over steel carriage and polished.

And maybe a big stick...
I do normally carry a stick in case I get attacked by a rabid squirrel or an old cougar who wants me to be her Boy Toy. 😬

I don't know those cougars could fund your tank... 😆

You were going to spray the wrong moron
 
I doubt that anyone else has ever posted that here!
My wife and her friend were walking around the neighborhood and along a lakeside road . They were being circled by a coyote . I did not tell her why it was doing that. I have seen numerous times coyotes downtown in my small town hunting cats I presume . People drop off unwanted cats in the country here because they think its humane and even though they are Liberal I can do no wrong people actually feel good about it . I asked a Lady that had all sorts of cats around her property at one point . Not any more. A little trick they like to pull on dogs is to pretend that they want to play. Draw the Dopey dog into the Bush where his buddies are waiting. Paul wrap a gift for the dog in a piece of Hamburg . It will never come near you again
 
I did vote. But I didn't vote for myself. If I win, I will probably give the prizes away anyway because at my age, I don't really need anything but I will see what happens. 😃
It's running close
