Ryan lives on the edge

Ryan came home from work the other day and proceeded to tell me about his day and then as an after thought he says "oh ya, you wont believe what happened to me today." I re-tell this story out of complete compassion for my dear husband. My love for him soars far beyond the highest star. I don't mean to embarrass the man but his story must be told.....

Ryan called his client to inform her that he would be stopping to service her property. When he arrived he noticed her window was broken. He calls his client to inform her of what he sees, since she currently lives out of state. She was very thankful for him calling to inform her etc... As he enters the home he enters the security code on the home security system that he has done so many times but this time he accidentally hit a wrong number. Loud, horrible noises started blaring from the home.....BEEEEP......PPAARRPP......BEEEPP......PPAARRPP!!!! Terrible ear piercing noises that according to Ryan could be heard for miles and I believe him. Oh man, can you imagine the horror?? So I ask him with concern in my voice "Well, did you call the owner?" his ever so casual response was "No I had already called her twice" So I then said "So what did you do? " I just did my work" Those who know Ryan can picture this...right? He continues through the BBEEPS and the PPAARPS, just spraying away I'm sure thinking about how many other stops he had to do. He had no time to deal with the PAARRRPS and the BEEEPS. We all know Ryan he is a very busy man. As he comes out of the house or should I say mansion with a broken window he turns a corner and you guessed it!!! a cop. Listen to this.... not just a cop but a cop pointing his semi automatic at Ryan (insert *gasp* or #$%!) Ryan starts to back up with his spray gun in hand. Luckily the cop didn't react quickly thinking it was a different kind of gun. Ryan begins to explain himself and showed proof of the work order etc... meantime the owner was called a third time but she is really sweet and loves Ryan so she wasn't mad or anything. She sent her cousin over to make all the noises stop. It took him several attempts before the BEEEPS and PAAARPS came to an end. How embarassing!! and how scary to be staring down the barrel of a semi automatic. I'm So glad things didn't turn out differently. Moral of this story, If you ever accidentally set off somebodys home security system, do take the time to step outside and call the owner so they can notify the proper authority even if you've already called them twice!! Love you Ryan...even though you live on the edge!! Sorry you always have such bad luck!

You know what I love about this entry is that I can relate to Ryan he is methodical and task oriented just like I am sometimes you are so focused on what needs to be done you don't think about everything else. I am glad he is safe I am sure his guardian angel had a work out that day. Can he laugh about it now or is it still too fresh?

He laughs...I think it seems unreal to him. He handled it much better I did or would have.
