I had to do a temporary fix on my back garden gate, until I can build a new one

The fix involved a sharp, pointy tool, zip ties, a shovel, a tarp and some rope. It was then I realized that I have all of the basic tools to be a serial killer, and would never need to risk going to Walmart or Target to buy stuff, thereby likely get caught on their surveillance cameras.

Again, I blame 15 months in self isolation for me even thinking such things.

Didn't have anyone, in particular, in mind. Well, not that I'd admit to, anyway.

A few days ago a real ratty truck with a big tatted up guy cruised the neighborhood. The back license plate was on the far left side of the bumper and tilted at an angle. I figure that was so it would not be able to be read by home surveillance cameras! Told a couple neighbors until I started to feel/realize that I watch too many murder shows.

Although, admittedly, those are regular items in my general inventory... you just *never* know, amiright?

I also have a hacksaw, duct tape and plastic sheeting.

Maybe I shouldn't be mentioning any of this. But the Old Lady Serial Killer headlines might be kind of entertaining.

No shower curtains but plenty of tarps.

Does washi tape ruin the image?
