You know it's time to organize when...

You know it's time to start organizing your Man cave when you have to start worrying about dead wild animals. Last week I was working on my Barracuda a little when I thought I noticed a big rat move across an open space. That kind of freaked me out, cause, well, who wants a potentially rabid animal wandering around their garage? I looked for it but didn't find anything, so I just chalked it up to an overactive imagination and too many beers.

Last night I got home and found the "rat" - it was actually a baby rabbit. I don't know HOW it got into the Man Cave, but I couldn't get it to leave. I opened both doors and tried to shoo him out, but all he'd do is hide under the Barracuda or behind my workbench every time I got close. Kinda felt sorry for him - I knew he'd probablde with no food or water for at least a week. I didn't want to leave the door open all night because then some more critters might wander in. So I set out a plate of spinach so at least he'd have something to eat...

Well, when I went to go to work this morning the spinach was untouched and the poor little thing had expired. I found him laying next to the S2000 just like he'd fallen asleep and never woke up. I was sad theat he died because my son (8 year old) was really concerned that he'd be OK - he even called me at work today to ask if the rabbit had found the food we left out for him. I lied and told him the rabbit ran out of the garage when I opened the door. I'm also glad the rabbit decided to take his final sleep where I'd see him, instead of somewhere hidden and hard to get to. It's warm now and it wouldn't be to long before he starts to rot - and stink. I really need to clean out the garage...
