It’s fixed! Nope… still a raccoon in the attic… time to set a trap… – overhead carry sandbag to cone, 10 rows, run to start and back, overhead carry to next cone, repeat until you’ve carried to all five cones – do it again
Ah… finally, trap is set and it’s time to —- aaahhhhh! Call through the ceiling. – 10 lt dans as you fall through the ceiling then walk off the pain to the sign and back – do it again
Maybe it’s time to take this as a sign and call in the professionals… – on your six for some Mary while we wait for the pros to show up
