We’ve heard it a hundred times:  “BMW – The Ultimate Driving Machine”.

My thoughts used to be something along the lines of, “Those yuppie snob bastards” to put it nicely.  You know the kind you usually see driving them … preppy shirt, sunglasses, blazing white teeth, and the attention span and IQ of a (insert whatever comes to mind here).

Well, a while back we came across a deal on a 2002 Mercedes Benz C240 that we couldn’t pass up.  She became Gretta.  She was Susan’s baby and her daily driver and she loved her.  Fast forward to one day when I picked up Mike to take him to my bro-in-law’s car lot – he was getting his 350Z Vert.  I was walking around looking at what he had on his lot and this beautiful little BMW caught my eye, a 2008 BMW 328i with all the amenities you could get.  I made the mistake of taking a few pics of her and sending them to Susan, including the window sticker with all the options.  I went back to work about 30 minutes later and noticed she was off-line so I sent her a text message asking where she headed off to … she was at the car lot ! I didn’t hear any more about it and left work that day headed for home.  I got home and Susan wasn’t there (she usually beats me home).  Shortly after I got there I get a phone call:  “You need to come down here and sign some papers.”  Yeah, she did it.

I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.

The first step in this adventure was getting a deer.

I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.

I filled the 2 cattle feeders then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it.

After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up — 3 of them. More »
