We've now got a 110 volt surprise waiting for them when they return.

Cue Evil laugh.

Deer determination
Yep, you got that right. I was out stalking the deer just before dawn this morning, but no signs. They seem to come by every second or third day, though, so I don't really expect to see them until tonight or tomorrow night.
