(6,581 posts)Ended up playing fugitive from the law. I was trying to save my fruit crop from a spring freeze.
I had to hide behind the compost bin for five minutes while the cops shined my yard with a spotlight. Neighbor saw me out there and called to report something "suspicious". I was in my pajamas and a winter coat with no ID, and I just didn't want to explain that to the cops at 3:30 in the morning.
I still go out on frosty spring mornings in the wee hours to hose down fruit trees if frost threatens, but now I'm fully dressed and I take my wallet just to be sure.
UPDATED to add -- the OP changed it to "weird things you've accomplished" after I posted this -- so, I guess I accomplished not going to jail for being out in the yard at 3:30 in the morning in my pajamas while spraying fruit trees with a hose.
