A while back sitting in front of the Tv on a cool Sunday afternoon
around 6 pm with the evening meal on a tray I spied a huge bush rat
which had just crept under the screen door into the living room and as
luck would have it I had been cleaning the wifes 357 m28 S+W , a quick
cocking and a nailed that rodent with a small shot round most effectivly
Of course it also killed some carpet and I was in rouble again for
letting one go in the house

ah good times
