Please don't let your cat outside. They kill billions of native animals every year in North America alone. In some instances they've driven them to extinction.
Oh I am well aware. She is feral though, she will not come in. It's hard to get anywhere close to her, let alone grab her. My wife is the only one that can get anywhere near her, and even that is pretty rare. It's kind of crazy, even though we are in a suburban neighborhood there are an insane amount of feral cats around. She's old and probably doesn't have much time left. I have convinced my wife to never take in a cat again. I haven't really cared for it for the whole time, but I lost that battle years ago. She actually wandered off for a couple of weeks not long ago, and I had secretly hoped that was it....but alas, here she is.

He's Canadian, he has no power here nor do you have to explain yourself to any Canadian, ever. It's part of the Constitution.

There's this thing called a .22. It solves all sorts of nagging problems.

I fish from a tube bruh. Single barbless hook and flies only. This is the equivalent of getting beat up then accusing your assailant of being on PEDs. I take it as a compliment.
The ministry guys are always on my back because I’m catching so many fish. I’m always like “Is anything I’m doing illegal”, then I make sure I lay the shoulder into them as I walk past to load the back of the Subaru up with trophy bass.

Damn, baseball hail will do some damage. I’ve seen some crazy hail storms here in central Tx, but never baseball size.

my wife and I got married out on Lake Buchanan (hill country near Burnet), and the night before a hail storm came through. It was marble to golf ball size, pretty much destroyed the cars of everyone that came to our wedding.

at least we have the memory lol

Jesus. That’ll do some damage! Hope you’re all good where you are my man.

I got caught in a hail storm once on the top of a mountain in CO while mountain biking. It rolled in real quick and just absolutely beat the shit out of us with peas and marbles. We had to descend to find a tree line for any kind of shelter. Thank god I had a helmet on haha. Can’t imagine trying to dodge hail lake that baseball.

Yeah man thankfully it looks like I'm just out of range of it.

Just winds and some showers.
