Opps I feel stupid

I came home late last night and didnt feel like putting my t-tops on so I left them off which is something I never do.I woke up and looked out the window and it was pouring out.By the time i got outside it stopped but it rained enough for my interior to be soaked and there was about 4" of water in my rear floorboards.I spent the rest of the day with the wetvac and air compressor drying out my interior.I'm never gonna make that mistake again.

better rip out the whole interior and air EVERYTHING out if you don't want mould / musty smell.

Yeh the top will seem dry but the padding will be soaked.

Today I got out of the car, closed the door, and it made that tinny sound.. I realized I left the window about 4 inches open.. I was carrying stuff and I was so close to just leaving it.. Door was locked and all, so id have to put my stuff on the ground.. Thankfully, I remembered reading this, so I decided I might as well roll it up... Got back later today, it was pouring out...

So, thanks man...

Once, I parked overnight in my driveway with the tops off, and a cat peed on my passenger seat.

I live trap ferral cats and give them to the Humane Society. They are lucky, if I let my 2 shephards get them, they wouldn't be alive. don't sh*t in my flower beds.

I have a cat but it's strictly an indoor cat. I also saw 2 birds nests in my spruce tree this year. Young come out of an egg and raise to the point of flying. Some young birds spend days on the ground before they can fly. They are called fledgelings. The 2 nests in my tree were fledgeling birds. Keep your pissy cats inside or I wiil get them and you will have to pay a fine and recovery fee to get them back. I mean it. Some people are ****** and kill them but there is a simple and humane solution to the problem. Live trap. I only kill things I eat.
