Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Blah ha ha ha. Next time I get the chance I'll try the nice way first.
I did rescue their kitty . . so maybe they will stop and talk to me now.

I have a fun, simple solution. Make a lifelike scarecrow, only it'll be a scarekid. In addition to regular straw stuffing, put a liberal amount of chicken treats in there near the top of the straw; something with enough aroma to attract the chickens. Lay it out in the run, or wherever the chickens spend a lot of time, then sit back & wait for the neighbor kids to notice a bunch of chickens pecking away at what appears to be a motionless, possibly dead, body. Then, in a day or so, take everything away, except the clothes; leave them in place as though the birds consumed everything else

Dont blame ya..
Ya know, most towns have a curfew for kids under 18. Does yours?
If so, go with that with the parents.

Really?
Never heard of a curfew .... . We really don't have much for crime around here though..... Just the dumb meth head across the way.
But to be honest with you all..... He's never done anything to me personally.

Sorry you all had to skip allot again...... Been busy all day and now I'm sitting in a restaurant eating. So no time you catch up.
On our way here.... My alternator wit. So I turned around and got the wife's van as it's about 150 mile round trip. And I don't need to get stranded with a truck load of groceries.
The good news is my friend owns a alternator rebuilding business. I stopped by his place and he sold me a remanufactured alternator for $58..... For my 2000 GMC

We dont have much crime here either, few methhead issues on occasion, but theres an 11 pm curfew here for kids under 18, Mon thru Fri and 12 on the wekends unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian...

Not saying it's a bad idea.... Cuz it's not.
Although I think 16 would be enough. Cripes I was raising kids by the time I was 18.
And it would work on the city. But we don't have night time police around here.
If you have an issue at night you have to call the state boys and they are 45 miles away.
Although lately a few times at night I've seen the cops pull into my driveway to watch the house across the street. But they never stay long.
