Possum in a Cuisinart....

[AApple]

kinda...sorta.
Sitting here watchin the tube this evenin, and see both the cats jump up and have a fit at the same time, both scampering towards the window that looks out on the rear deck. Mama mutes the TV, and we hear this load noise in the back yard...like someone beating on something. I opens the back door, and hear what sounds like the fan on the A/C unit about to fly off. I tells Mama to shut the A/C down, and I grab a flashlight to go have a look-see. Since it takes Mama a few minutes to figure out HOW to turn the A/C off, I get to see what's happening while it's runnin....and it ain't purdy. Took me a little while to figure it out, but I sees there's something taking a ride on the condenser fan. WTF? Tree branch? Golf ball?(it could happen) And then, I see it....BLOOD splatterin everywhere, and whatever it is is spinnin on the fan blades up against the top part of the condenser. The fan finally shuts off, spins down, and I hear this "Thump". With the flashlight, I'm looking down in there trying to find whatever it was in there that used to be alive, but prolly ain't no mo, and......there it is... a baby possum, or at least what is left of it. Nuthin but the body and tail left. And it stinks.
Got no freekin idea HOW that thing got up in there, either. Had to have crawled up in from the bottom somehow, climbed the fins of the condenser, and then the you-know-what literally hit the fan.
Poor little feller...
Sorry...no pics...that would just be wrong. :shock:
Now...how to get that thing out before it starts stinkin the whole place up.... :sensored:

Get a real long needle nose pliers an grab it then pull it out piece by piece past the fins.

Or you could getchya a torch an cook it. This way it won't stink as much once it starts decomposing.

UH...otay. But.....I don't have no needly-nose pliers that long, and, even tho it is now much smaller than it was originally, it still ain'ta gunna come out thru the fins on top of the unit.
This A/C system is only about 3 years old. It's a pretty big condenser unit. I'll have to get out there tomorrow evening before it gets dark and see if I can find where it got in, and maybe pull it back out thru there. It had to have come in from the bottom somewhere.... :builder:

The guard and fan normally come off pretty easy. Then you can hopefully reach down and get the poor fella. :crying:

Yeah, but this thing is still under warranty, and just as sure as crap if I take the top off to get this thing out, it'll take a dump, and they'll deny warranty because some "unauthorized" someone has messed with it... :rant:

I'll figure somethin out... :good:

I call those the Red Ones. I dunno, they're all some kinda Rock Cod, the big one is Lin Cod, and there's 3 little Halibut.
I got a fishing license in my pocket so I gotta use it up.
