Attacked by Kangaroos

Yesterday started as a great adventure. The Commander was going to take a little hike, and Kadizzle was going to do some motorcycle exploring.  As The Commander pulled into the mountain parking lot to meet Kadizzle she informed him the truck was malfunctioning.  The symptoms were familiar.  About five years ago the Kangaroo rats attacked our other Tundra and it cost us over $600.  So one more time we had to have the wires replaced.  We now have $1,200 invested in the war against the Kangaroos.

Kadizzle set up the mother of all Kangaroo defense systems yesterday.  Under the truck the ground has been treated with mothballs, and ammonia.  Under the hood are more mothballs.  On the ground under the truck is a motion activated light, and a small solar light is on all night in the engine compartment. Supposedly Kangaroo rats do not like light.

All of a sudden Kadizzle got an additional brainstorm for the rat war.  Why not give them a dose of bear spray.  Kadizzled figured if some of the bear spray stuck in the area they liked it would make them think twice.  With a fellow camper standing nearby Kadizzle disarmed the bear spray.  Never before has it been used, so it was a new experience.  The nasty yellow liquid shot out in a massive torrent and filled the air. Kadizzle and the other camper quickly found out how potent the stuff is.  Just the small accidental amount that drifted our way gave us a very bad breathing problem.  Kadizzle is convinced the spray would kill a person with asthma.  Kadizzle felt like a bit of an idiot after the experiment.  It is clear when you use the stuff you are in as much danger as a bear.   Kadizzle has a much more enlightened view of the police spraying people in the face with the stuff.
