Death from above(by crescent wrench)

Post by Springville Shooter » Thu May 13, 2010 3:23 pm

So I was working on a 100ft communications tower today making some adjustments to a microwave dish when I noticed a ground squirrel below me on the ground. I thought that it was odd that he kept circling around my truck, and then, to my suprise, he jumped up into the cab through the door that I left open to monitor my radio. I wondered what he was up to and shouted several times at him to no avail. When he finally did re-appear, he had a fat slice of tomato in his mouth from my sandwich that was on the front seat of the truck. I immediately saw red and the first thing that I could grab was a 12" crescent wrench from my tool bag. Like William Wallace from the movie Braveheart I heaved it at the squirrel like a tomahawk. To my suprise, the flight path of the wrench appeared to be true and sure enough it bashed into the squirrels head splattering it against the rock he was eating my tomato on. Pretty darned good shot if I don't say so myself and a fair warning to anyone who steals a working mans lunch.------------SS

LOL. That's some good shooting right there. So are only accurate wrenches interesting also?
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.
