A Bambi moment. ...awwwwww!
A customer asked me to come down and look at the balcony on his log cabin. He figured with his personal knowledge of my sheer genius, this lowly carpet dude might be able to correct the slope of this 5 1/2 foot balcony so that the water would drain off, instead of settle against the logs. It's 60 miles away, but work is work............... He's 1000 miles away from home right now just having undergone heart surgery at Cedar Sinai, but I have the code to the gate.
Party anyone? ...he'll be gone for a couple weeks and the bar is very well stocked.
Back to Bambi. He buys day old bread and fees em daily, so with him being gone, and us being down there scoping out his water drainage problem............ Well, the bread was there just inside the garage door, the horned and unhorned beggars arrived like clockwork, we took the honors so they wouldn't starve to death.
You can literally hand feed a couple of them, while the rest stay a good 5 or 10 feet away. Pretty friendly critters.
It's a dangerous place he has up there on the mountain, with hummingbirds zipping by you 3 or 4 at a time like little fighter jets with the afterburners on, and the squirrels nipping at your heels. It was getting close to sunset so we fed em all quickly before the grizzly's arrived. I could smell danger was in the air, so we headed back down the mountain getting the heck out of Dodge while the getting was good.
