.. well, that was interesting .. was working on the landing, when two suspicious cars came down the road .. one backed in drive across the street, the other into my drive ..
.. two fellas got out and started down toward me .. looked like they had big fanny packs on .. when they got closer, realized they were sheriff's officers .. they said someone has been calling crime-stoppers line accusing me of running a meth lab ..
.. they asked if they could search the property .. I was pissed that a phone call had that much pull .. I could have refused, but had nothing to hide and sure didn't wanna start a riff with the sheriffs ..
.. when we started they were acting all tough and suspicious, but by the time we were done, we were good friends and they will stop by from time to time (off duty) to see how the place in coming along ..
... my guess is that it is the knucklehead neighbor up the road .. she has 4 horses that are always getting out and tearing up peoples yards and flower beds .. she was reported several times (never by us) and ended up in court .. verdict was, she had to sell two, clean them up and their living conditions ..
.. I don't think she knows who complained and I was an easy target for revenge .. the fella that used to live here is now in jail on drug charges ..
.. just goes to show, ya never know what the new day will bring .. what she meant for harm, ended with us making new friends .. and .. I'm now free to start a meth lab ...
