This week can't end soon enough. It has been a bitch.
1. Monday Night: someone tries to open my front door at 9pm. Its locked so they bang on my windows and run off. Turns out same thing happened to my neighbor the same night except they tried to turn the knob on their back door. Not sure if it was a stupid prank or some freak trying to get in my house, but if it happens again, someone is going to have a .40 caliber hollow point in the chest.
2. Tuesday afternoon: I run to Sam's to pick up some random stuff. I come out of the store, go to put my stuff in my truck and am approached by a lady that accuses me of hitting her car. I won't go into all the details, but the lady says that a chip in the paint about half the size of a pencil eraser on her front bumper was caused by my huge Ranch Hand brush guard. She demands my insurance info. Long story short, my insurance company has launched an investigation into her claim b/c they don't believe her (as they should not). She is screwed b/c I have pics that pretty much show that there is no way in hell that my truck did that to her car. Had I hit her car, her bumper would have been laying on the pavement.
3. Last night: Come back from trick or treating with my boys to see my house completly covered in smoke. Wife calls 911 and I run into the house to see what is on fire. Turns out nothing is on fire that I can see. Fire trucks arrive and they check the house with their heat cameras to make sure everything is okay. I was already paranoid b/c we are still having some electrical issues from the lightning stike from 3 months ago. I thought we might have a small electical fire somewhere. So, house is not on fire, but there is no conclusion as to where the smoke came from. It was around my house and my house only. I was outside with all my neighbors when it happened and noone saw anything unusual. It was too dark to see all around my property, but the firemen think that someone from across my pond might have shot a gas canister onto my roof somewhere as a prank. First thing I'm doing when I get home is going on search for the cause. If I find a canister, I have narrowed it down to where it could have come from. Someone's gonna get their ass kicked. I'm all for a good prank, but seeing your house covered in thick smoke does not fall into that category. I barely slept last night b/c I was so freaked out and worried about a fire.
Come on Saturday. I need to relax and watch some football. Too bad I have a feeling I'll be pissed off again come 8:30 or so that night.
