    Default Lost in Dirty Myrtle

    Saw these swans in a ditch of all places right in front of Lowes in MB while me and the fam are here doing some work on the beach house.

    I think they might be lost but hey crazier things have happened.

    Ah... I'm certainly no swan expert but kinda figured given the location they were tamies.

    I'm gonna beat Tater to it~


    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    There was a pond in that area that had 2 tundra swans and 50 redheads in shotgun range of the road a few years back when I went through.
