I woke up three days after ####ty-flute night with Bryan Adams's "Heaven" stuck in my head, and it took me a while to figure out why.  I still cry from laughing over ####ty flute.

Anyway, sorry you had no ####ty flute talent.

Well having zero musical talent had something to do with it.    Being an ADHD riddled jagoff was probably the real reason.

 
Saw the momma fox this morning. Then the four little guys ran from under the back of the shed into the woods. 

Anybody ever have something like this?  Seems relatively common. Am I going to die if I go into my shed to get my deck furniture out?

You'll be fine...especially now that they are out in the woods...

Congrats to Dyl, but what the hell kind of school has 250 kids that can play piano?  Is he going to Juilliard like Frosty did?

I played piano for my elementary and middle-school choirs because I could basically identify what a piano looked like (OK, I played, but hardly at a virtuoso level).  There was no dork competition for it.  That's impressive.

:lol:   Forgot "talent show" after "school".  This is K-5 pubby skool. You can try out doing anything you like.  One kid is a real piece of work and got chosen to tell jokes.

Apparently there were costume concerns last year and little girls won't be allowed to dress like whores for their dance routines.  Sorry @Homer J Simpson

My wife just texted me that the mom and Cubs just came back. 

The shed is at the far end of the property, so away from the house. It isn't too far from our swing set though, which is concerning. 

 
"And don't get me started on guidance counselors. I mean, if they were good at anything, they wouldn't be guidance counselors, amirite?"

Code: 
Fox den under a porch, deck or shed
Both red and gray foxes dig dens mostly for raising kits, but also to use as shelter from severe winter weather. 

The use of a remote camera confirms a red fox has made a den under this shed. Humane Wildlife Services
Dens under porches, decks or sheds are not uncommon in urban areas. If you find a fox family in an inconvenient spot, consider allowing them to stay until the young are old enough to begin accompanying their parents on foraging outings.   At this point they are nearly ready to say goodbye to the den site and move on for good.

Fox kits are born in the spring, usually in March or April, and you’ll see them emerge from the den four or five weeks after birth.

At nine weeks, they will begin to hunt with their parents. That’s the moment to watch for, as it is then safe to encourage them to leave the den site if there is reason to hasten their departure.

Mild harassment (scare them away)
If you need a fox family to move on sooner rather than later, harassment may encourage an earlier move. Here are a few humane harassment options once the kits have emerged:

Loosely pack leaves, soil, or mulch in the den openings to disturb the residents.
Place urine soaked kitty litter, a sweat-soaked T-shirt, a pair of smelly sweat socks or old sneakers in or near the den opening.
Mount shiny party balloons or 12-18 inch lengths of Irri-tape mounted on sticks or poles two or three feet off the ground, just outside and around the den entrance.
Spread a non-toxic granular repellent that is capsicum based around the den entry. 
These tactics are most effective when they are used in concert as part of a comprehensive plan to encourage the foxes to move on. The purpose of these techniques is to make the parents uncomfortable enough to move the litter to a more secure location. Once the den has been abandoned, make sure all the kits are out of the den before any permanent exclusion is put in place.

If the den site is under a porch, deck or shed then it will remain an attractive denning area, and not just to foxes. Foxes are excellent diggers, so the best defense is to bury an L-shaped footer of hardware cloth around the perimeter of the area you are trying to exclude.

Scare devices and repellents
If you want to prevent future denning activity in certain areas where foxes are not welcome, try one or more of these humane, yet effective, approaches:

Using noise-making devices, such as transistor radios or motion-sensitive alarms.
Installing a motion-activated sprinkler.
Using a loud voice or banging on a pot or pan.
Applying products sold in garden and hardware stores to repel domestic dogs from gardens and yards, as they will have a similar effect on a passing fox.

I'm on a job site at a community college campus today. They are having some sort of Spring Fest thing going on outside. As part of it, they have a bouncey house. For college students. I could understand sumo suits or that ball thing you roll around in, but a bouncey house?

Forget about the play structures, where are the pics of the coeds in shot shorts?

 
Those bubble thingies to play soccer in look like nothing short of awesome. A little wine, a little weed and you've got yourself an afternoon.

What are the odds of the baseball draft being on the same day? crazy

 
On Saturday I will be celebrating my birthday with Roverkid, French Whore and her offspring by gambling on horses at Emerald Downs.  NW degenerates are welcome to join.
