Mayhem & Chaos at Rallygirl's house

[Rallygirl]

My husband recently decided to buy a gun safe the size of a burial vault. Today, in the snow, there is a herd of guys at my back door trying to get a 1200 pound safe down into the basement,...without injuring any people or the safe. So far, they have fighting with the dumb thing for more than an hour and half. Why or why didn't my husband listen to his wife eight years ago when she suggested building the house the safe? LOL

I have to ask if it is like a 3 stooges episode,alot of whoop whoop hoop and head slapping going on Did you ever see the infomercial about the lift straps you wrap around your arms.I remember to people lifting all kind of stuff with them.Hey if its on TV its gotta be true right.

You should film it. Sounds like he has a helluva lot of guns...mental note: Do not drop in unannounced to meet Rallygirl.

Does your husband collect Howitzers?
That safe sounds like a monster....

[Rallygirl]

Three and half hours later,...it is in the basement! And bonus, everyone is in one piece yet! Yes, it is a monster,...46 inches wide, 36 inches deep and five feet tall.

Hubby comes from a family of gung-ho, life-long hunters. He hunts deer, turkeys, elk, moose, prairie dogs, coyotes, crows,...and the list goes on. His mother is 74 and shot her first elk last year. She still shoots, cleans and processes her own turkeys and deer.

I know,..what a bunch of rednecks we are.

Huh,you kill coyotes and we feed them.Put food out every night for them.They are great to listen to when they chip and howl to one another.They keep away all the ground hogs field mice.

Great to have a gun safe, just hope you never move. If you thought it was tough going down.

Nah, if yous were rednecks you wouldn't buy a gun safe

You'd use the broken basement chest freezer as one

Locking it would be putting 4 cinder blocks on it

Trust me, this was discussed! LOL
The neighbors have an old freezer sitting alongside the road with a "Free" sign on it. Gun safe was one option and smoker was another. But sadly, we bought the safe and already have a fridge smoker.

If we ever moved, the safe will have to stay. However, hubby has never lived anywhere but this 20 acres and his 74 year old mother has never lived anywhere but her 60 acres next door. They will die both here.

They eat my chickens and any outdoor cats. Besides, they make really nice decorations,...we have one stuffed and mounted on the dust bunny ledge above the front door.

If you where rednecks there would have been a case of beer as well.

Prairie dogs are hunted? Seriously?

I come from a family of avid shooters and hunters, but that's a new one to me. I've killed my fair share of creatures, mostly pheasant and quail, but I've never heard of prairie dog season. That's funny. So when are turtle, chipmunk, ardvaark and cow seasons?
