…purchased in Outlet, accidentally was sent garment from Re-Love. All taken care of: Don't want anyone catching any heat.

UPS has delivered to my house 100’s of times over the last 10 years…I currently have a package inbound (UHR’s) from IHUK and UPS has decided my address is incorrect.
It is the address I have used for the past 10 years. Someone at sorting has decided that my address city is incorrect and they are trying to fix what isn’t broken…
-
Un-rant…I guess my address does exist and the driver just found me. It’s bloody hot here and humid, so I’ll hold off prepping the UHR’s for a day or two…
No guts no glory [emoji3]

my wife lost my car keys yesterday. what i’m trying to say is she lost my good art belt loop buddy. so between that and the electronic key replacement. i’m out 400 bucks. i’m furious… but restrained

When they says can live without men.
Yikes… what's that all about? Are men incapable of losing things?
I guess back to the lost keys--sorry that happened @Matty123 . Ironic that a device intended to secure your keys was lost.
One of the unfortunate risks of having nice things. I have almost lost my mind spilling shit on irreplaceable clothing. I now EDC more modest cutlery that I am not afraid to get dinged up. And I am pro wabi sabi, but a mustard stain is a horse of another color
I was foolishly polesawing with my JMMs on instead of safety goggles and I got slammed in the face with a falling branch. Luckily they survived despite taking the brunt of impact.C'est la vie

Apparently there is a skunk living underneath our house in the crawl space and it felt the need to spray last night right before our kids bedtime. They were REALLY offended as they’ve never really smelled a skunk before. I mean the stench occupied every room and there was literally no way to escape it. Luckily it dissipated over night, but now we’ve got to find a way to get it out and “relocate” it. Suggestions are welcomed. 🦨 [emoji724]

@SKT:
I was surprised too but it’s a pretty small zoo. I like your plan though. My anxiety is increasing as the night comes on…[emoji51]
My old boss thought it a good idea to shoot the skunk who had burrowed under his porch. The bad idea was using a 22. The skunk survived, crawled back into his burrow, and then died under several feet of concrete. The smell was so wretched he had a part of his patio and porch dug up to exhume the carcass. That was a pricey skunk!

My parents had a skunk family living in the crawlspace under the porch. My dad waited until the skunks went out at night and then boarded up the opening. They moved to a new location. No killing or exterminator fees were necessary.

@Anesthetist Ha! I definitely want to avoid that route!
@DrPat I like this idea and have considered how to make it happen. I have found it’s entrance hole and may just go out in the middle of the night and seal it up with paver stones. But without sitting outside and witnessing it crawling out I’m worried I’ll seal the hole before it leaves and trap it under the house where it dies and smelly chaos ensues in a week or two.
@Matt a professional is probably a wise choice here but “wise” choices and I don’t always walk the same path.
I’ll report on the outcome.

@SKT You could put flour or some other powder near the entrance. This should let you observe the tracks.

[mention]SKT [/mention] you can buy small game traps at some places, in the rural areas we have tractor supply stores and hunting stores, generally farm/hunting should get you there. You’ll probably already have some decent skunk bait in your home already (you can look up your areas skunk favorites). Once you trap it. Find a friend with an open bed truck and drive it to the woods. My neighbor does this with chipmunks as they are always trying to eat through her screen door.
