The Sneaker didn't come, and the rats stayed home.

A person living in the wild at Roosevelt Lake has two major enimies, The Sneaker, and Kangaroo Rats.  When the weather turns bad The Sneaker likes to roam about and steal Honda generators.  Last night the weather was looking bad and The Commander declared we were on high alert for The Sneaker.  Kadizzle has been gathering all the folk lore on The Sneaker he can.  Rumors abound.  One story is they know who The Sneaker is, but he moved to Chicago.  Stopping to talk to some camp cacklers yesterday Kadizzle was told a generator was stolen a week ago.  The latest rumor is The Sneaker has a blue toyota older model truck.  The more common belief is The Sneaker drives an older Chevy half ton silver or white.  The Sneaker first scopes the campsites around four looking for Honda generators to steal.  Late at night around two The Sneaker strikes.  In a slip up a Forest Service employee let Kadizzle know about a couple secret efforts they are making to catch the Sneaker.  Kadizzle wonders where all these generators are being sold.  At least ten have disappeared over the last few years.

On high alert the Kadizzles have two motion detector lights set up, and our generator is secured in a special way that will make it very difficult for The Sneaker to get it.  The generator is bolted from the bottom to plywood.  The tire of  the camper sits on the plywood.  If The Sneaker get our generator without making any noise he will get thief of the year award for sure.  Well here it is moring and The Sneaker attacked. The Sneaker is a brave man because about 80 percent of the people here are armed and would love to shoot him. Anyone who would get killed for a Honda Generator is nuts, but such is life.

The othe enemy, the Kangaroo rats also seems to be in control. Kadizzle has tried to make life misrable for those little bastard under the hood of the truck trying to eat the wiring.  Now they are daily subjected to bear spray, dryer sheet smell, amonia, cayanne pepper, and a night light.  The procedure is to leave the hood open all day. The little Jihadist do no like light.  Give a little spray of bear spray once in awhile, sprinkle the pepper, and put the night light in there every night.  One danger of all this is the bear spray and pepper.  The solar night light now has a good coating of bear spray residue, and pepper.  From handling the light Kadizzle naturally got some on his hands.  Soon he realized he head rubbed some in his eye. Not pleasant.  However, there is a worse place to have a little pepper or bear spray.  Kadizzle discovered this when he took a pee and got bear spray on his best friend in a delicate place.
