Tim: Bat Chasing

September 2nd, 2008

Hey, hope you had a good long weekend!

I had a really unexpected and fun weekend. I was working in Kingston at a BMX event and we also hit up Queens University to check out everyone moving in. Well the BMX-ers were amazing! Some really great riders, and some nasty wipeouts too. When we went to the campus we talked to a few students walking around and met up with a dude named Brett who was moving his stuff in. Let me tell you one of the coolest guys at Queens. We helped him move in, checked out the dorm a bit, joked around a bit and taped the whole thing.

After Kingston, I ended up going up to my parent’s cottage. My sister and my brother-in-law were there too. There are two cottages on the property and one is really old and is in the process of being fixed up. While we were in there doing some work we heard a squeaking noise and figured it had to be a bat…so we checked it out and sure enough we have a bat jumping out of this hole and flying right at our faces! So my brother-in-law grabs a fishing net, I have a fishing pole and we are swinging at this thing, knocking over lamps, vases with flowers, chairs, chasing this thing down and running and ducking from it too. (I don’t know what I thought a fishing pole was going to, do but it was the closest thing I could grab). We ended up catching it in the net, and we also had some bat houses that we had just put up so they are close by and can eat the bugs. So we just put it in there and hopefully it will stay there and make it home. Back inside we go and out came another bat!!!! Flying around our heads, my brother-in-law almost falls off a chair, drops the shop vac he had in his hands, he grabs a net, I grab a net and off we go chasing this thing knocking over more stuff! Finally I tossed the net and caught him! We put him in the bat house and blocked up any holes in the building so no more bats can get in…and that was my weekend! I also went swimming, had camp fires and all that good stuff, but the bat thing was just hilarious to me. I wish you could have seen it; it was like a scene from a movie. Anyway back to school for a lot of people…and I’m back to work.

Talk to you later!
