Oops sorry,6th said:Yep! See the last 3 or 4 posts.
I was at work and someone called me so I had to go and didn't have time to read. Next time I'll pay more attention.

OK I'm paying attention, where are our regular late nighters? It's only 1am on the West coast.

I am here! I just got home from some more beach volleyball and then the gym. I am about to take a shower to get all the sand, bug spray, sweat, and chlorine (from the gym pool) off that I accumulated during my work outs.
6th said:Dang! It says that there are 66 people on the site right now (1:35 a.m. PT). That is 15 members and 51 guests. Are people all up late, or are people here from around the world?
A fair number of those "guests" are most likely Crawlbots, used by search engines like Yahoo, Google, etc. to mine information. That's how you end up being able to find references to our board, our members, etc. on those kinds of sites.

3.09am, I should have been in bed already but my best friend had problems so we've been on the phone for hours. Hopefully he'll take my advice.

It's Friday night, where is everyone? I just love working at a place that has no communication
Inventory is this weekend but no-one seems to have a clue about it. Oh well back to work.

^ Sounds good to me Good morning to you also tub.
Good morning to you also tub.
Intended on getting a good night's sleep tonight. Unfortunately, one of the creatures of the forest didn't get the memo.
About 45 minutes ago, I was awakened by a loud THUD on my back porch. Getting up, I stumbled into the living room and went towards the back door. I was a little puzzled because my whole back porch was dark which is unusual because there's a security light up on a pole about 20 yards from my back steps that generally lights up the whole area.
As I got closer, I realized the light wasn't out...it was being blocked.
There was on my back porch a bear. A full-grown bear. I have a wood storage box on one side of the porch and the THUD apparently was the sound of the bear jumping down from there onto the floor of the porch.
I stood transfixed and more than a little frightened. My back door is about 2/3 glass. (A situation that is going to be remedied within the next 24 hours...) I was afraid to do anything that might give the bear the idea of standing up and pushing on the glass part of the door.
I stood in the dark, shaking like a leaf, until the bear finally went back down the stairs and around the side of my house. He took his time but eventually went away from my house and back towards the ravine in back of me.
I am now wide awake. I've lived here nearly 12 years and have NEVER been that scared. I've seen bears a couple of times but one has never actually ventured onto my porch before. I'll be making a phone call to the rangers as soon as it gets light to see what - if anything - I can do to make my house and porch LESS attractive to bears.

Do you have a bbq or trash out there? He/she must of got a wiff of some good food. I noticed a lot of logging going on up there, wonder if they are getting pushed out of their normal hangouts.
I have a feeling we are going to see some bears this weekend when we head up to LGV. Sounds like your having fun up there tonight

No BBQ and the trash cans are empty, having been picked up early this morning. If anything, there MIGHT have been a couple of pieces of dry cat food, but the outside cat usually does a very good job of making sure he gets every last morsel. I don't leave food outside because of the raccoons.
Usually it's the younger bears that seem to be brave enough to come close to homes. This was a full-grown bear; I'd estimate it to run at least 250-300 pounds, if not more. It was easily twice as big as my friend's Great Pyrenees dog and the dog weighs about 125 or so. It was at least four feet high at the shoulder as it lumbered away.
I probably could have gotten a pretty good closeup picture but it's hard to reach for your camera when you're paralyzed with fear. Plus I didn't want to do anything to get it irritated. I just wanted it to leave...

No bears here although there have been a lot of reports of them in various parts of Atlanta lately. I just have coyotes at work and cute critters like deer,rabbits,frogs etc.

12:43, waiting for my laundry to dry before hitting the hay. I had my cable installed today; it's Comcast Cable so I can now watch all the Kings games this coming season.
