One of the 101 Uses For a G-Wagen

I had a slightly humerous situation yesterday morning.

My kids came running in, saying there were BULLS in our front yard.

Indeed, some of our neighbor's bulls got loose, and were grazing in our yard.

Well,,,,, trying the polite, "Shew, shew" to 2,000+ pound Brahma bulls proved fruitless.

When they started towards the 100 Begonias I just painstakingly planted, it raised my Irish.

Like an idiot, I forgot my camera (in the heat of the moment, but it would have yielded some funny footage of me going head to head, brushguard vs. horns), but instead jumped into the Old 280GE, and sped off.

Tearing around the front, "nudging" the huge beasts with the brushguard, and blasting the airhorn, I was able to corral them together, and jog them out the front gate.

Quite an entertaining start to my workday!

More like a suburban Hatari moment?
