To start with our Truck don`t have a functioning Reverse anymore. We have thought of ingenious ways of getting around this. Parking in areas where there is a hill or finding parking spaces where there is noone parked on the other side...so we just park there.
Or for example our backyard. How in the world can we park in our fenced driveway without reverse? (I`m a tad embarressed about this fact) LOL...but we have another car...but I prefer to drive our truck.
Anyway we perfected a way to park in our driveway. We simply drive in like anyone would normally and we continue to the back yard which is pretty huge. Then we just turn around using gravity to pull our truck towards the sloping backyard.
Simple right?
Howz about doing this at night?....Its pitch black out there!...We have nothing but woods after the fenceline.
So here is where I SPOOK myself...
I walk to the back to get the truck warmed up. Oh I am not one of those people who turn it on and run inside...LOL...I have to doit the hard way. Once I`m in that truck thats it!...I`m IN.
So this morning I took the walk to the back...Our chihuahuas sound asleep in their house...They usually accompany me to the backyard....but not this morning!...Pitch black yard sends my mind into thoughts of a Lechusa/Huge Tx Owl swooping out of a tree to attack me. Or maybe Bigfoot is in the pitchest black part by the fenceline just ready to leap out and squish me to death!
This morning was quiet as a graveyard in the back....as a matter of fact there is a graveyard in the woods LOL.
Anyway as I made my way to the darn truck....I searched for my keys I flipped into my jacket. I fumbled for them standing infront of the truck.
(I usually have the keys in my hands)
As I fumbled in my pockets....I heard branches breaking in the darkest part of the yard!...My eyes went POP!....trying to peel them back to see what was making them break!....OH NO! It has to be a Lechusa!!!!....Ahhhh I cryed out!...and found the key and jumped into my truck!
What a horrible noise in the pitch dark of night!...
I think it was indeed a Lechusa...a Big Texas Owl...in which I probably disturbed with the jingling with my keys!
I wish you could have heard that sound!
