Submission from @onegami:

I don’t know if this is in your arsenal (*wink wonk*), but I would so appreciate if you could identify these little guys

These are a bit blurry (and obviously aren’t real guns) and many of them are in that Generic AR15 Category, so I can’t give definitive answers here, but I will try my best. It’s also hard to squeeze in factoids for ten weapons in one post, so I will probably be pretty brief.

Up top we have some form of DMR conversion kit for an AR15, not entirely sure which or what kind due to image quality and camera angle. Could be a LWRC REPR (chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO). Has a really wonky looking muzzle device at the end; size-wise it makes me think it’s a suppressor, but it has holes in it, so apparently it’s supposed to be an obscenely large muzzle break??

The proportions of the second one and the appearance of the magazine lead me to believe the second one is the Heckler & Koch HK53A3 (chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO), which is just a super-compact form factor version of the HK33, their MP5-esque assault rifle series.

Our third rifle looks to be the Enfield L85A1 (part of SA80 series, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO), except it’s bizarrely mirrored, with the covered cheek rest side facing the camera, when we should be seeing the ejection port and charging handle in the back. Still, it’s also mounted with a standard issue SUSAT scope.

The fourth is tricky, possibly unintentionally so. The boxy foregrip, wire stock, and barrel and gas tube positioning all seem to suggest it’s an IMI Galil ARM (chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO), however the receiver is very different, almost AR-15 like. On a hunch, I looked up Counter-Strike listings on IMFDB and I think I have an answer: the receiver might be leaning towards the IWI Galil ACE 22 (5.56x45mm) design, like in CS:GO. I’m still not entirely sure, though...

The fifth is, I think, an M4A1 Block II (chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO) judging by the elongated foregrip with full rail systems on all four sides. It’s specifically fitted with an ACOG sight here. Could also be one of those Daniel Defense / Knight’s Armament clones but I’m not too sure and can’t be bothered to parse it down.

This next one, though, is a mystery. Like, the very first thing that totally screws with me is the bizarre thumbhole stock. It looks almost like an M16? Like, you can clearly recognize the carrying handle in there, but... I dunno. I’m passing on this one, it’s driving me insane.

Seventh is a very clear-cut Colt M1921A Thompson (part of the Thompson series, chambered in .45 ACP) with an extended box magazine. Good ol’ classic rattler.

I swear these guns are going to drive me insane. Eighth one immediately had the Benelli M4 Super 90 (part of the M series, chambered in 12-gauge) come to mind because of the pistol grip and stock construction, as well as the design clearly being that of a semi-auto shotgun, but the barrel being longer than the shell tube, and the foregrip seeming to recede into the receiver, are both tripping me up. And of course, yet again, we have no ejection port or charging handle on the right side where it should be...

Finally, we got two easy ones. Penultimate one is an AKM (Avtomat Kalashnikova series, 7.62x39mm) judging by the stock style and what I’m assuming is a stamped receiver... hard to tell given the lack of details and OH MY GODDESS THE RECEIVER IS MIRRORED AGAIN.

Last one is the FN SCAR-L (SCAR series, 5.56x45mm NATO), likely the CQB variant. Easy to tell from the distinctively shaped folding stock. The iron sights are folded down to make way for what appears to be a reflex sight and flip-down magnifier optic.

I’m not sure what the (*wink wonk*) is supposed to suggest. If you’re asking if I’d pick these keychains up... let me know if they do any actual sniper rifles or PDWs.

Towing my Heart

Summary: Kenny works odd jobs as a mechanic, he's been in places many people didn't even know existed, so when he gets a call for the crux of heaven, hell, and earth alike, he isn't really fazed.

Warnings: Swearing, violence, check Ao3 port for full tags

Authors Note: Car problems are a total bitch if I'm being honest, so have some niche and somewhat complex AU for day of K2 week, the prompt was demons/angels, and I chose angels. @bree-sae hey, hey mechanic Kenny AU, come look at it South Park mutual. anyways! I hope ya'll enjoyed and if you did maybe consider checking out the Ao3 port or dropping a reblog

"Y'ello?" Kenny began with as he picked up the phone, kicking his feet up on his desk as he spoke.

"Hi, uhm, this is McCormick Auto-Repair right?" Came a somewhat nervous voice from the other side.

"That it is, Kenny McCormick speaking, should I bring the paperwork with me?" Kenny asked, "Or if you want to make an appointment I can put you on the other line with Karen."

"No, no I'm not making an appointment," His client said, "My names Kyle by the way."

"Nice chatting with ya Kyle, so, where are you and do you know what the problem is?" Kenny asked as he stood up, pacing a little bit around his office.

"My alternators been going awry for a while now, and it was really fucking with me, so I swerved off the side of the road to avoid it," Kyle explained, Kenny gave a hum to go on. Kyle gave a sigh of embarrassment, "Something scraped and I'm pretty sure something important is leaking."

Kenny had to hold back a laugh, "I'll be over with a tow, where can I find you?"

"You know that gas station right where you can enter Heaven or Hell? I'm just past that on the way out, it's not super far from the town you're situated in if I read your business card correctly," Kyle said.

"That is the worst place to break down," Kenny said, reaching for his tool box as he made his way through the building, "Please tell me you're using an all terrain vehicle with a roof."

"Of course," Kyle said, "Why does that matter?"

"Imp attacks have been rampant lately, so stay in your car until I get there," Kenny said as calmly as he could manage.

"Alright, will do," Kyle said.

"See you in thirty," Kenny said before hanging up.

He tapped gently on the window of the car his coworker was working. He raised his head from under the steering wheel in an instant, he wiped a smudge of something from his face. There wasn't usually liquid in that compartment which was just a bit worrying.

"What's up?" Craig asked.

"I'm heading out to tow someone, could you work on the Jeeps exhaust leak while I'm gone?" Kenny asked, leaning on the sill of the window a little bit.

Craig nodded, "Totally," He hauled himself up from his crooked position, "Just gimme a minute to stretch."

"Be back in an hour man," Kenny said, giving a grin and a fist bump before taking his leave.

-/-/-/-

Kyle sat in his car impatiently, he was really, really glad that he was here to drop off Stan instead of pick him up. He couldn't imagine being towed with Stan and some guy neither of them know, it's a lot easier to ignore conversation if it's just one person. Being told to stay cooped up in his car really isn't helping his morals either, he just wanted to get home so he could help Ike with his homework. And now he's stuck here, in his car, overheating, stupid heatproof enchantment was already wearing off.

He tried to turn on his car and it rumbled to life begrudgingly, he flicked on the AC and let the small amount of cool air wash over him. It'd probably feel colder if he stayed outside for a bit first, but, he couldn't do that. Imp attacks, or angels being pissed off, it's been known to happen before. He'd be fine though, he'd be perfectly and completely safe outside.

He pushes open his door and leans against the side of his car that's weakly running, he stuffs his jacket inside as he kicks around a rock. He just meanders aimlessly around his car and across the barren and cracked road, rarely glancing around as he did so. He looked up at the sound of wings flapping to find imps hanging in the sky holding crossbows and pebbles. He squinted a bit before realizing that he was the one they were going to shoot at.

Fear kept him paralyzed as he watched the pebbles start to come down, aim erring ever closer to his form. Then he swore he could hear the trigger of the crossbow being pull, arrow coming way to fast. He barely moved fast enough to dodge it, the red barbed tip not even bending as it hit the asphalt. He felt like he was doing some stupid dance as he pranced about the small stretch of road to try and survive.

Theoretically speaking he could hide in his car, but then the damage would be worse, and he'd have to pay more, and that did not sound ideal in the slightest. He looked down the road desperately to find that a tow truck was indeed coming and relief flood his form. He practically dashed over to whatever he could hide behind that wasn't his car. He ended up taking cover behind a gnarled tree that was losing it's final leaves for the season. The thunk of arrows and the screech of tires was not exactly pleasing to hear, but the screaming to 'Get the fuck away!' was.

Kyle leaned over to peer behind the tree to find his tow truck guy heaving heavy breaths and adjusting his baseball cap. Kyle could instantly see the golden band on his wrist, bright and luminous despite how barren the area was. He hesitantly stood up and walked over to his car, the heat of the area was really starting to get to him.

The tow truck guy perked up a bit and gave a sharky grin before holding out a hand that Kyle reluctantly took. His hands were calloused and rough, "Hi, I'm Kenny, I take it you're Kyle?"

"That's right, and this is my problem child," Kyle said, gesturing to his beloved Subaru. Forest green and with a couple zip tie patch ups where the metal tore due to excessive rusting.

Kenny stared in silence for a moment.

"We love her, a lot," Kyle said, trying to break the silence.

"I can tell by her condition," Kenny got out after clearing his throat, "Nice zip tie job."

Kyle gave a nervous laugh as Kenny made his way to start looking for the tow hook, "Gotta make do with what you got, Stan did it."

"Oh? And who might this Stan be?" Kenny asked innocently, "If you wanna chat."

"Chattings fine, you're fun to talk to," Kyle answered with.

Kenny popped up from the ground and made his way to lower the bed of his truck, "Then tell me more."

"Stan is my good buddy, since kindergarten actually, I'm pretty sure he has some demonic lineage but that's fine," Kyle explained as he watched Kenny hook up the car to the rope with rapt attention. Maybe he shouldn't be staring at the mechanic like a starving animal, but each move of a limb is just a bit attractive. He doesn't exactly see guys who do physical work a lot from a close distance, he isn't one either, flipping patties, "That or he just really likes the food they serve in hell."

"Hell does have some killer food I'll give 'em that," Kenny said as he started on pulling in the car, he stopped when he noticed it was on, "You okay if I grab the keys?"

"Go for it," Kyle answered with calmly.

"You can keep talking about Stan," Kenny said as he turned off the car and slammed the door shut.

"Yeah, Stan, Stan, Stan, he's trying to become an astronomer these days," Kyle explained as he made his way to the cab end of the truck. He watched with intrigue as the "I never thought he would but here we are."

"Ain't that the truth, I never thought me and my sister would be running an auto-repair shop but here I am! Towing some lovely looking guys Subaru at the cusp of hell," Kenny said, throwing a wink Kyles way, it had him short circuiting, "Just teasing Kyle, I'll stop if that Stan guy is actually your BF."

"He's my best friend, I haven't had a boyfriend for a while now," Kyle said.

Kenny gave a sympathetic hum, "Real shame, hop in if you want a ride to the shop."

Kyle swung open the door and slid onto the torn leather sit, he kicked at a couple empty plastic cups on the floor. He reached for his seat belt and did it up, "Any idea what she's leaking?!"

"I think it's the coolant, which is gonna be a big problem if you don't get it fixed soon!" Kenny said as he held a hand under the leak and inspected the fluid briefly, he wiped it down on his coveralls. He unhooked the winch and secured the wheels in place before hopping in, "Shouldn't cost a whole lot if you got a good job."

"Oh I do not have enough money for an alternator and a coolant leak," Kkyle groaned as he held his face in his hands, he jumped a bit as the truck started, the engine fired a bit. He held a brief concerned look.

"Don't worry she does it all the time," Kenny said as he rolled off down the highway. He reached over absently in the center console of the car, "Now, paperwork."

"Could we do it when we reach the shop?" Kyle asked.

"Totally, but we should talk a little bit about prices though," Kenny said hesitantly, "The alternator is gonna be real fucking hefty, and the coolant leak, depending on how bad it is could cost over a thousand dollars."

"Lovely," Kyle said, "I couldn't pay you in other methods could I?"

Kenny hummed as though deep in thought, "Well, if you take me out for a meal I could do the coolant for free."

"Really?!" Kyle asked, sheer hope clear on his voice.

Kenny gave a warm laugh, "No, fuck no, sorry mate."

"Dammit," Kyle muttered, "Don't get my hopes up like that."

"I'll try Kyle," Kenny answered with.

-/-/-/-

Two flat tires, a busted spark plug, and some body work later and Kenny and Kyle have gotten into a lovely rhythm of things. Kyle calls up and asks Kenny to come over and give him and he does exactly as told like he's a dog. Or the one time Kyle scheduled and appointment Karen got to bring up how great of a guy he is with Kenny afterwards. It was a tense dinner of takeout that night, what with Karen teasing her brother and him giving feeble 'stop it's in response.

And Craig is still the diligent and somewhat stoic worker he's always been, aware of every interaction between Kenny and Kyle when they're in the shop. Much like Karen, and unlike Kyle, he isn't blind to whats got Kenny twisted up inside. He doesn't say anything to Kyle, not ever, more afraid of losing his job than anything else at the moment.

Still, one more call is received and this time it's a blown head gasket.

Kenny is at the scene in an instant.

"Thanks for coming so soon," Kyle got out nervously as he helped Kenny hook the car onto the winch.

"Don't worry about it," Kenny answered with as he started to roll it on, "That's what us repair men are for."

"I know, I know, still feels like I'm taking up way too much of your time," Kyle said as he popped open the passenger door and slid in, no wrappers, "I see you cleaned up the place."

"Some lady was a total bitch and went off about her high heels getting sticky," Kenny said, a near snort of amusement came with the memory.

Kyle gave a hum, "Makes sense."

"Also you stepped on a rotting half eaten burger last time and I nearly vomited right then and there at the notions of more than one being in here," Kenny added on with a nervous laugh.

"Yeah that was hella nasty," Kyle said with a grin on his face as they rolled out. His eyes were quick to fix on the golden band around Kennys wrist.

Kenny took note, "Like the bling?"

"I've been wondering about it lately," Kyle said, reaching out to touch it, Kenny jerked his hand away.

"Family tradition, my sister and brother have one too," Kenny said, he sounded tense, "Don't know how my parents afford some weird gold mineral mix but they did."

"Can it come off?" Kyle asked, Kenny shook his head.

"Nope! We're stuck with it forever, till we're in the dirt," He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel as he spoke, "I'm just glad it's comfy."

"It should chafe," Kyle said, "But there's no reddening near the edge at all."

"Magic," Kenny answered with.

Kyle pursed his lips before speaking, "Is it what let's you get so close to the crux without a heat guard enchantment?"

Kenny froze up, "I'm naturally immune to heat."

"Bullshit," Kyle said bluntly, "Unless you happen to be supernatural, or like, a demon."

"I'm a little bit not human," Kenny said, "That's all I'll divulge unless you want me to remove your discount."

"I nearly forgot about the discount," Kyle said, backing away from the subject, "Awful sweet of you."

Kenny gave a hum, "You're awfully cute and have a lot of car problems, shocked the head gasket didn't go faster considering the rep Subarus have."

"Well, you're to put simply, an angel Kenny," Kyle said, a smile on his face as he spoke.

"Thanks darling," Kenny got out, grip on the steering wheel tightening so subtly Kyle didn't notice it, "I think the head gaskets gonna cost one point five K."

"Fucking hell," Kyle groaned out.

"Heres hoping only the gasket is gone then," Kenny answered with stiffly.

"Heres hoping," Kyle answered with.

-/-/-/-

"Craig!" Came Kennys voice as he slid over a wrench.

"Yeah boss?" Craig answered with calmly as he leaned on the hood of the car Kenny was working on the underbelly of.

"I think I'm in love," Kenny said, sliding out from under the car.

"Here we go again," Craig said bluntly.

"He's amazing Craig, he's absolutely lovely, shame he's been having good luck with his car lately," Kenny gave a weak laugh as he sat up, cracking his back, "I'd love to see him again."

"He came in here two weeks ago with a popped tire, and just yesterday for an oil check," Craig said.

"Yeah but, I wanna tow his car again, chat with him on the road," Kenny said, pouting a bit.

Craig reached for the golden band on Kennys wrist, "Couldn't you use your angel powers to give him a broken transmission?"

"That'd cost him so much! I can't do that," Kenny said, snatching away his wrist, "I could, but I won't is what I mean."

"You could use it to make him fall for you," Craig offered.

"No way in Heaven or Hell," Kenny said, he fiddled with the halo he so rarely wore above his head, "Besides, we're plenty close even without it."

"Sure, ask him out next time you get a chance to tow him," Craig said.

Kenny rolled his eyes, "Maybe I will, maybe I won't."

Then the phone rang, and Kenny was rushing over to answer it, giving the regular spiel. He started grinning like a love struck teenage girl the second he recognized the voice. He nodded and gave generic answers before getting the same location he always does and hanging up.

"I'm out to give Kyle a tow," Kenny said, a bit of pep to his step as he made his way across the hard concrete flooring.

"Ask him out!" Craig called out.

"I'm not doing it!" Kenny called back.

When the door of the truck slammed shut Craig was back to working on the car.

"Fucking dumbass," Craig muttered to himself as he jacked the car a bit higher, "That guy obviously likes him."

-/-/-/-

Kenny was just about to ready to rip someones head off at the sight laid out before him. Of course the demons were finally deciding to mess with some mortals just for the heck of it. He slammed his hand on the horn and held it there as he watched them scratch up Kyles car and hold him hostage. Eventually they all turned over and were those tears in Kyles eyes? Oh god they were, and his jacket is starting to char. Kyle was quick to stare at his car again and plead for them to stop scratching his paint job and tearing the zip tie job.

The McCormick took a steadying breath as he slid off his halo and tightening his coveralls a bit. He gently placed his halo to rest at his throat, tight like a collar but held like a beacon of royalty, it brought an eminence to his existence. He pushed open his car door and hopped out, he didn't even bother to close it again as he made his way to the demons and Kyle.

"Fellas I would highly recommend you back the fuck away from my property," Kenny said rather boldly as he gestured to the car, and the to Kyle, "He's my client, don't know what made you think you had rights to touch him Cartman."

Red rose to Kyles face at the notions of being Kennys property.

"What makes you think you have the right to talk to me like that Kenny?" Cartman spat back as he shoved away Kyle.

Kenny brushed past the demons scratching up Kyles car, they had stopped, "Would you believe me if I said the wings on my back?"

"Ha, really wanna bust those bad boys out with a mortal watching?" Cartman countered with tauntingly.

Kenny paused, "Well, I suppose I don't," He rolled up his sleeve, "You and your goons have a five second head start before I start fighting."

Cartman gave a singular laugh, "Sure, your prissy boyfriend is still watching."

"He's not my boyfriend," Kenny said, "Three seconds left."

Cartman stood still.

"Be that way," Kenny answered with.

His fist hit Cartman hard in the sternum, and he shot back, a sting on his chest. He pivoted on his heel and simply reveled in the terror on the others faces, they easily started to run and take off. Kenny chased after them and vaulted himself off the hood of Kyles car, he wouldn't charge for it. He latched onto one of their sets of legs and dragged them down.

"Don't think you're getting away that easily," Kenny snarled as he tossed the demon down, their friend staring in shock. He stamped on their tail and they screamed, "You! Yeah you!"

The demon stayed silent, "Yeah?"

"You have two choices, take your friend and go unharmed, or sit there like a stunned cunt and fucking regret it," Kenny snapped.

They sat there like a stunned cunt.

"Wrong choice," Kenny got out quietly before forcing himself up, big bright wings tearing the back of his coveralls as he pumped them.

The demon attempted to scramble off but it really didn't make any difference in the slightest. Kenny still latched on and hit them hard enough to break their nose, tainted black blood splashing his outfit and his face. They dropped in mere seconds, tail thudding against the roof of Kyles car.

"My car!" Kyle exclaimed.

"Sorry darling!" Kenny shouted back before lunging for Cartman who was barely up.

His hands came to rest at the demons throat and sternum as he ran him into the dirt for a good two feet. Skidding and scraping thick scales along the asphalt, his tail thrashed and he ended up latching onto Kennys waist and wing, claws digging in. Kenny merely grit his teeth before squeezing a lot tighter around Cartmans windpipes.

"Who the fuck said you could touch anything an angel laid hands?" Kenny snarled out.

"You and I both know you're not a fucking angel, you're some shitfaced half blood son of a whore," Cartman spat back in a smarmy tone.

Kenny would've bashed his skull in right then and there, finally ridding the menace that's been lingering around his lineage for hundreds of years.

But he doesn't.

Instead he stands up and backs away, hands raised.

"Fine, leave, go, next time I will kill you," Kenny said as he made his way to his tow truck to find Kyle already hooking up the winch.

There was no idle chitchat as they hooked up the car and pulled it onto the raised bed. Not a single word was spoken as they watched Cartman fly off, Kenny ruffling his feathers in annoyance. Tense silence washed over them as they started down the road, by now they'd be flirting in a half joking manner, making never fulfilled promises about checking out a new restaurant.

Kenny heaved a heavy sigh and Kyle instantly looked over to him, "Please don't snitch."

"What?" Was all that Kyle could produce in response.

"Angels aren't allowed to integrate into human society, I'll get smited by God himself," Kenny explained.

"I won't snitch, you're only a halfling anyways," Kenny said.

"Even worse," Kenny sighed out, "Even worse."

Kyle paused, "The dent in my hood?"

"I'll fix it with a fifty percent discount," Kenny said before swiftly tacking on, "Seventy cause you're cute."

Kyle doesn't respond with any of his usual answers and Kenny knows he's truly fucked up.

"Look, you're probably never gonna come back to McCormick Auto-Repair so can I get something off of my chest real quick?" Kenny asked as gently as he could despite the tightening grasp on the steering wheel.

"Go for it," Kyle said dismissively.

"I fucking, I'm in love with you, all of you. Every last part of you. And I'm not just saying that cause you're good for the business. I'm saying that cause I adore you, everyone can fucking confirm if you don't believe me," Kenny got out as earnestly as he could, trying to keep his eyes on the road.

"Oh thank fuck," Came Kyles shocking response, "Feelings mutual."

"You're not just joking around?" Kenny asked, sounding impossibly unsure of himself.

"I'm not man, you've always been an angel to me and everyone else, and now I know you're half one at least," Kyle explained, "I thought you'd take a hint."

"I thought the same," Kenny answered with, "So, paperwork."

"When we get back?" Kyle asked.

"Of course, of course, but I'm saying we plan a date too," Kenny offered, lifting his grasp on the drivers wheel briefly as he spoke.

"Totally man, that sounds perfect," Kyle answered with impossibly fast, and then he tacks on the nickname, "Angel."

He revels in the way Kennys wings fluff up in a flustered state, "Shut up."

-/-/-/-

Craig is the one to answer the door at the front of the shop, Kenny stuck in the midst of cleaning up a small spill of oil. He finds Kyle standing at the door, grinning a stupid grin and holding a bag in one hand.

"Here for Kenny?" Craig asked, Kyle nodded.

"First date," Kyle said, "I also got you a small gift, and Karen too."

Craig quirked a brow, "Oh really?"

Kyle reached into the bag and pulled out a bag of jerky, "Teriyaki flavor."

"Thanks, Kennys cleaning up some oil right now so you're gonna have to wait," Craig explained as he let Kyle in, "Karens in her office if you want to chat with her."

Kyle simply shrugged, "I'll give her the gift later, it's just some new pens and notepads."

"She'll really appreciate those," Craig said as he led Kyle to the main garage part of the shop.

Kyle peered around the edge of the door, finding Kenny kneeling on the ground and scrubbing idly at a spill of what was clearly more than oil. It smelt like a horrible blend of radiator fluid, oil, and a bit of root beer, clearly strong enough to make Kenny wince with the collar of his shirt pulled to his nose in one hand.

"Oi! Kenny!" Craig shouted, drawing up the hybrids attention, "Your dates here."

"It's already six?" Came Kennys response as he stood up, stretching his arms over his head and shaking down his wings, a few flecks of black fluid coming off.

"Already six," Craig said as Kenny walked over, wiping down his hands on his coveralls. He made sure to avoid the few patches that Kyle had stitched on for him.

"I haven't finished cleaning the spill yet," Kenny got out nervously, "Maybe we could postpone?"

"That's fine, just don't overwork yourself angel," Kyle said before placing a small kiss to Kennys cheek, tactfully avoiding any car fluids that had gotten on his boyfriends face.

"I won't," Kenny said before returning the favor, "Promise."

Craig gently pushed them apart, "I'll work on the spill, just tell Karen that you're heading out before you go."

Kenny pulled Craig in for a quick hug, "Thanks man, I owe you one."

"You owe me one hundred at this point," Craig said with a sigh as he pulled up the zipper on his coveralls.

"Let's go tell Karen what's happening," Kenny said, taking hold of Kyles hand and dragging him over to Karens office.

Kyle gladly followed, interlacing their fingers comfortably, the halo Kenny wore as his bracelet clinking comfortably against the silver band he had gotten for Kyle. A bright yellow Citrine sat embedded in the middle of it with Garnets on either side. It was, if nothing else, one of Kyles most prized possession, he wore it everywhere that he could.

"Hey Karen!" Kenny exclaimed as he waltzed into his little sisters office.

"Yeah bro?" Karen asked as she looked up from her schedule book.

"Me and Kyle are heading out on a date tonight, Craigs in the shop," Kenny said, pointing behind him as he spoke to the shop.

Kyle took a hesitant step in, "I recently got you something."

"Really?" Karen asked.

Kyle nodded as he reached into his bag, "Yeah! Definitely, you're fucking amazing, it's not much though," He placed down the pack of blue pens and the notepad, "I just heard you complaining about running out of pens."

"Thanks Kyle," Karen said as she tore open the pack, "Hope you two have fun, but not to much, Kenny still has work tomorrow."

"Will you please not?" Kenny asked desperately, red tinting his face at the knowing smirk his sister wore, his wings fluffed up whether he liked it or not.

"Hey man! I'm just stating the obvious!" Karen said in jest as she threw her hands up in faux surrender, "Now get out! I have work to do."

"Jeez, no need to be so moody," Kenny teased back as he pulled Kyle out of his sisters office.

He eagerly led Kenny out back to the junkyard, giving quiet 'hurry up's all the way there. There was a slight bounce to his step as he tugged along his partner of one month, maybe two.

"C'mon man, I have a gift out here, for you," Kenny said, gripping Kyles other hand as he spoke.

"Really? You hid a gift, in a junkyard?" Kyle asked, "If it's something small I know for a fact you lost it."

"Hey! I did not," Kenny spat defensively, a bit of a pout on his face as he spoke, "It's something big, trust me."

"Okay, I trust you," Kyle said, then Kenny released his hands before swiveling around behind him.

Kenny raised his hands to cover Kyles eyes, "Cool, then just do what I say, take five steps forward."

Kyle did as told, "Now I'm really fucking curious."

"Rightfully so, turn left," Kenny instructed, following Kyles motions closely to keep his eyes covered all the while. He shuffled his wings a bit as he moved.

"Your feathers are kind of grimy," Kyle said.

"I haven't had a chance to preen recently," Kenny answered with, "Five more steps."

Kyle gave a hum as he stepped forward, "I could help."

"Last time you helped it did not end up with me any cleaner," Kenny chided.

"It was fun," Kyle answered with.

"It was, but this time I want them actually clean," Kenny said, "Ready?"

Kyle nodded, "Sure."

Kenny lifted his hands, "Voila!"

Kyle was absolutely speechless at the sight before him.

"I fixed up a near identical version of your old Subaru for you, gave it some stripes, made it so it sounds really loud when you rev," Kenny explained, as he rifled through his pockets.

"Kenny," Kyle managed breathlessly, euphoria shooting through every inch of his body. That was his car, just like his old one, but better. And Kenny did it for him, bought and fixed an entire car after not even three months of a relationship.

"And here," Kenny began as he jingled the key ring, "Are the keys."

Kyle hesitantly took them.

"Go to her Kyle, she's all yours," Kenny said with a nod before watching Kyle rush off to start up the car.

He was absolutely giddy as he revved the engine and inspected the upholstery. The steering wheel was plush under his fingers and the gearshift had a little heart embroidered in it. The backseats where clearly patched up, some from his favorite bands, some simple graphics. He pulled open the glovebox and found a cardboard box inside, he eagerly pulled it open, finding a hat inside.

Kenny pulled open the passenger door and slid in, "Too much?"

"You are hereby unrequired to get me any gifts for the next ever is how much," Kyle said as he tugged on the green hat, two flaps on either side of his head, "No big ones at least."

"Well, I sort of had the crews help with this one," Kenny said, "Craig helped me choose the seat types and Karen did the little upholstered bits- I just did the technical stuff."

"Still! A whole fucking car! That's insane," Kyle said in sheer disbelief as he hesitantly pulled out the spot and started through the junkyard, "Crazy even."

"I found it a crime you didn't have a working car," Kenny said as he pulled on his seat belt, "Now, we're checking out that new restaurant right?"

Kyle nodded, "Yeah, I also got you a gift though."

"Really?" Kenny asked as he started on stuffing his wings back into his coveralls.

"Really! It's not nearly as good as this one though," Kyle said, reaching into the back for his bag. Kenny handed it over and watched with intent as Kyle pulled out a box.

"hey, I'll love it all the same," Kenny said with a sly smile on his face, one he almost always wore.

"Here," Kyle said, handing Kenny the box.

Kenny popped it open and went silent, eyes wide, "Darling."

"I can get a different one if you don't like it," Kyle said with a nervous laugh.

"Kyle I love it," Kenny got out quietly, absolutely stunned at the gift. He slowly slid it onto his wrist, a silver band like Kyles except with Orange Zircon in the center skirted by two pieces of Lapis Lazuli. He stared at it, "It's beautiful."

"Really?" Kyle asked.

"Yes really! I love it almost as much as I love you," Kenny answered with as he pressed a kiss to Kyles cheek once more, not wanting to distract him from the road too much.

"Cool, now we have actual matchies," Kyle said, lifting his hand and nodding towards his wrist.

Kenny clinked his bracelet against Kyles, "Almost like wedding rings."

"Hey maybe that'll be my next gift for you," Kyle said with a laugh.

"Jeez so I have to wait a whole year till I get another gift?" Kenny teased.

"You'll simply have to wait and see," Kyle answered with.

Richard Ramirez, all'anagrafe Ricardo Leyva Muñoz Ramírez (El Paso, 29 febbraio 1960 – Greenbae, 7 giugno 2013), è stato un serial killer statunitense.

Soprannominato dai media "Night Stalker", il cacciatore della notte, uccise almeno 16 persone dal 10 aprile 1984 al 24 agosto 1985.

Il 31 agosto 1985 è stato catturato ed affidato nelle mani della giustizia. È stato condannato nel 1989 alla camera a gas per 41 crimini, tra cui 16 omicidi. La sua esecuzione doveva avvenire tramite gas letale nell'estate 2006, ma la Corte suprema nel 2007 ha accolto l'ultimo appello di Ramirez, facendo slittare l'esecuzione in data da designarsi, esecuzione mai avvenuta vista la prematura morte dell'assassino. Anche Ramirez ha trascorso gli anni in prigione, come John Wayne Gacy, dipingendo quadri.

Julian e Mercedes Ramirez ebbero cinque figli, e il quinto nato fu Richard Ramirez. La madre era cattolica, e suo padre un ex poliziotto in seguito passato a lavorare come operaio sull'autostrada di Santa Fe. Il padre di Richard credeva fermamente nelle punizioni corporali come metodo educativo. Era molto legato alla sorella Ruth Ramirez.

Ramirez potrebbe essere stato influenzato verso l'assassinio da suo cugino, Mike, un veterano della Guerra del Vietnam che spesso si vantava con lui di aver ucciso e torturato decine di nemici, mostrandogli anche delle foto Polaroid delle vittime. Queste includevano immagini di svariate teste decapitate di donne vietnamite, con le quali in altre foto Mike praticava del sesso orale. Ramirez era presente la notte in cui Mike sparò alla moglie, uccidendola. Richard aveva 13 anni all'epoca.

Il 10 aprile 1984 qualcosa fece scattare nella mente di Ramirez voglia di uccidere e di intraprendere una lunga mattanza che lo vede come protagonista fino al 31 agosto 1985, giorno della sua cattura. Nell'hotel dove lavorava vide una bambina con il fratello più piccolo che piangeva perché aveva perso una banconota. Ramirez attirò la bambina nel seminterrato facendole credere di aver visto la banconota, la violentò, la uccise e appese i suoi vestiti su un tubo di aerazione. Il caso non fu preso in considerazione ma, dopo l'arresto di Ramirez, nel 2009 gli investigatori attribuirono l'assalto come responsabilità di Ramirez, portando il numero delle vittime a 16.

Il 28 giugno 1984 Ramirez decise di intraprendere la furia omicida nuovamente e di spostarsi a Glassell Park, una zona a nord di Los Angeles. Forzò una porta e fece così spaventare Jennie Wincow, una anziana donna. La assalì, la torturò, la uccise e scappò di fretta. A causa della poca risonanza mediatica questo caso fu poco preso in considerazione e, ancora oggi, sono in corso accertamenti dalla parte della polizia per cercare di attribuire questo delitto atroce a Ramirez.

Il 20 febbraio 1985 Ramirez attaccò due donne in età avanzata nella loro casa a Telegraph Hill nella contea di Los Angeles, pugnalandole a morte.

Il 17 marzo 1985, Ramirez attaccò la ventiduenne Maria Hernandez fuori dalla sua abitazione, sparandole prima di entrare nella casa della ragazza. Dentro trovò Dayle Okazaki, 34 anni, che Ramirez uccise immediatamente. La Hernandez invece sopravvisse. Il proiettile sparatole da Ramirez era rimbalzato sopra le chiavi di casa che la ragazza aveva istintivamente portato al petto per proteggersi dal colpo.

Dopo circa un'ora dall'omicidio della Okazaki, Ramirez colpì nuovamente all'interno del Monterey Park. Sulla scena del delitto fu ritrovato un cappellino da baseball con il logo degli AC/DC.

Assalì la trentenne Tsai-Lian Yu, trascinandola fuori dalla sua auto e sparandole due colpi di arma da fuoco prima di fuggire. La ragazza venne ritrovata ancora in vita da un poliziotto, ma spirò poco prima dell'arrivo dell'ambulanza. I due omicidi ebbero una grossa risonanza nei media locali, scatenando il panico tra i residenti delle zone colpite.

Il 27 marzo Ramirez sparò a Vincent Zazzara, 64 anni, e a sua moglie Maxine, 44. Il corpo della signora Zazzara fu violentato e mutilato con diverse coltellate e le venne incisa la lettera T sul seno sinistro, mentre le furono cavati anche gli occhi. I cadaveri di Vincent e Maxine furono scoperti nella loro abitazione di Whittier dal figlio della coppia, Peter. L'autopsia determinò che le varie mutilazioni erano avvenute post-morte. Ramirez lasciò delle impronte di scarpe da ginnastica marca Avia sul luogo del delitto, che la polizia fotografò ed archiviò. All'epoca questi erano gli unici indizi in possesso della polizia. I proiettili trovati sulla scena del crimine furono confrontati con quelli rinvenuti durante i precedenti omicidi, e gli agenti capirono di trovarsi di fronte ad un assassino seriale. Gli omicidi erano infatti opera della stessa persona.

Due mesi dopo l'uccisione degli Zazzara, Ramirez attaccò una coppia di cinesi: Harold Wu, 66 anni, e sua moglie, Jean Wu, 63. L'uomo venne ucciso con un colpo di pistola alla testa, mentre la donna venne picchiata, legata, e ripetutamente violentata. Per ragioni sconosciute, Ramirez decise di lasciarla in vita. Gli impulsi omicidi di Ramirez si facevano di giorno in giorno più violenti. Lasciava dietro di sé sempre più indizi, e fu in questo periodo che venne soprannominato "The Night Stalker" dai mass media. Le vittime sopravvissute descrivevano il killer come un uomo alto di etnia ispanica con lunghi e ricci capelli neri, il viso scarno e allungato e la dentatura in pessime condizioni.

Il 29 maggio 1985 Ramirez assaltò Malvial Keller, 83 anni, e la sorella disabile di lei, Blanche Wolfe, 80 anni, picchiandole entrambe con un martello. Ramirez cercò anche di violentare la Keller, senza però riuscirvi. Utilizzando un rossetto disegnò un pentacolo sulla parete della stanza da letto e su una coscia dell'anziana donna. Blanche sopravvisse all'attacco. Il giorno seguente, Carol Kyle, 41 anni, fu legata, picchiata e sodomizzata da Ramirez, mentre il figlioletto undicenne della donna era stato rinchiuso nell'armadio dal killer.

Durante giugno e luglio, altre tre donne furono uccise. Due ebbero la gola tagliata, una picchiata a morte, tutte e tre furono assalite nelle loro case. Il 26 giugno Ramirez rapì di notte prelevandola dalla sua stanza la piccola Anastasia Hronas, una bambina di 6 anni; dopo averla ripetutamente violentata la lasciò libera abbandonandola nei pressi di un benzinaio.

Il 5 luglio Whitney Bennett, 16 anni, e Linda Fortuna, 63, furono attaccate da Ramirez, ma riuscirono entrambe a sopravvivere. Il 20 luglio Ramirez colpì addirittura due volte nello stesso giorno. A Sun Valley sparò, uccidendolo, a un uomo di 32 anni, Chitat Assawahem, mentre la moglie Sakima, 29 anni, fu picchiata e costretta ad un rapporto orale. Ramirez sodomizzò anche il figlioletto di 8 anni della coppia davanti agli occhi della madre. Più tardi lo stesso giorno assalì una coppia a Glendale, Maxson Kneiding, 66 anni, e sua moglie Lela, anche lei 66 anni; entrambi furono uccisi e i cadaveri mutilati.

Il 6 agosto Ramirez sparò sia a Christopher Petersen, 38, sia alla moglie di lui, Virginia, 27. Miracolosamente, sopravvissero entrambi. L'8 agosto seguente, Ramirez colpì a Diamond Bar, uccidendo Ahmed Zia, 35 anni, e poi violentò la moglie dell'uomo, Suu Kyi, 28 anni.

Successivamente Ramirez lasciò la zona di Los Angeles, e il 17 agosto, uccise un uomo di 66 anni a San Francisco, picchiando e sparando anche alla moglie dell'uomo. La donna riuscì a sopravvivere e fu in grado di identificare il suo assalitore dagli identikit preparati dalla polizia. Sulla scena del crimine, Ramirez utilizzò un rossetto per disegnare un pentacolo e scrivere le parole "Jack the Knife" sul muro della stanza da letto, poi, dopo aver rubato del cibo dal frigorifero, vomitò sul pavimento in cucina e si masturbò sul tappeto del salotto.

La svolta decisiva nel caso ebbe luogo il 24 agosto 1985, Ramirez viaggiò per cinquanta miglia dal sud di Los Angeles a Mission Viejo, ed irruppe nell'appartamento di Bill Carns, 29 anni, e della fidanzata, Inez Erickson, 27. Ramirez sparò in testa a Carns e violentò Erickson. La costrinse ad inneggiare a Satana e poco dopo, la forzò ad un rapporto orale. Poi la legò e se ne andò. Erickson riuscì a strisciare fino alla finestra e a scorgere l'auto di Ramirez, una Toyota station wagon di colore arancio. Fu inoltre in grado di dare una descrizione dettagliata del criminale alla polizia. Un adolescente identificò l'auto della quale aveva sentito parlare al notiziario, e si segnò la targa del veicolo. L'auto rubata venne rinvenuta il 28 agosto, e la polizia riuscì ad ottenere le impronte digitali dell'assassino prelevandole dal finestrino di una portiera dell'auto. Le impronte si rivelarono quelle del già schedato Richard Muñoz Ramirez, descritto come un venticinquenne ispanico con una lunga serie di precedenti per stupro e spaccio di droga.

Due giorni dopo, la sua foto segnaletica venne trasmessa in televisione e stampata sui principali quotidiani della California. Ramirez fu riconosciuto, circondato e quasi linciato da una folla di passanti a East Los Angeles mentre stava cercando di rubare un'auto. Gli agenti accorsi sul posto dovettero disperdere la folla per impedire che i cittadini inferociti uccidessero Ramirez.

L'udienza preliminare per il caso iniziò il 22 luglio 1988, e si concluse il 20 settembre 1989 con Ramirez ritenuto colpevole di 13 omicidi, 5 tentati omicidi, 11 violenze sessuali, e 14 furti con scasso.

Durante la fase penale del processo, il 7 novembre 1989, Ramirez fu condannato a 19 pene di morte. Il processo di Richard Ramirez fu uno dei più lunghi e complessi procedimenti giudiziari della storia americana. Più di 100 testimoni furono chiamati a deporre durante i dibattimenti, e mentre alcuni faticavano a ricordare precisamente avvenimenti accaduti quattro anni prima, altri si dissero sicuri che l'assassino fosse proprio Richard Ramirez, il quale si presentò in aula con un pentacolo tatuato sul palmo di una mano esclamando "Ave Satana!".

Il 3 agosto 1988 il Los Angeles Times riportò la notizia che alcune guardie carcerarie avevano raccontato di aver sentito Ramirez che diceva di voler sparare al procuratore distrettuale in aula, con una pistola che intendeva contrabbandare in tribunale di nascosto.

Di conseguenza, venne installato un metal detector all'entrata dell'aula e furono disposti severi controlli. Il 14 agosto il processo fu interrotto perché uno dei giurati, tale Phyllis Singletary, non si presentò in aula. Più tardi quello stesso giorno la donna venne rinvenuta cadavere nel suo appartamento, uccisa da un colpo di arma da fuoco. La giuria rimase terrorizzata dall'evento; nessuno sapeva se Ramirez aveva avuto indirettamente qualcosa a che fare con l'omicidio, orchestrando il tutto dalla sua cella. In realtà Ramirez non era responsabile della morte della Singletary: la donna era stata uccisa dal suo fidanzato, che in seguito si suicidò.

All'epoca del processo, Ramirez aveva numerose fan che gli scrivevano appassionate lettere d'amore in carcere. A partire dal 1985, la giornalista freelance Doreen Lioy gli scrisse circa 75 lettere durante la sua incarcerazione. Nel 1988 Ramirez le propose di sposarlo, e il 3 ottobre 1996 la coppia si sposò nel carcere di San Quintino. La Lioy ha ripetutamente affermato che si sarebbe suicidata il giorno in cui Ramirez fosse stato giustiziato.

Richard Ramirez è morto per insufficienza epatica nel giugno 2013 all'età di 53 anni, mentre era detenuto nel Carcere di San Quintino.

Today I have taken part of 15 phone calls all related to my car.

So now:

- my claim is in process

- their claim is in process

- my car has been towed to the auto body shop

- I have a rental car set up for tomorrow

So now I just…wait.

Additionally I had my tree stump ground out of the yard.

All while my AC/furnace inspected. Which let to them discovering multiple leaks in my gas line. So now I’m spending $2.7k to have that fixed. (There was a $6k package of repairs that I declined.)

I have spent most of the time I haven’t been talking to one of the 5 service professionals that have been in-person at my house, or to the 6 different people I have spoken to on the phone, being on my phone on either TikTok or Instagram. So because of that I feel very unproductive. Even though I have literally been doing so much today.

It has been FULL ON today.

5 Essential Tips for Car AC Gas Refilling

Keeping your car’s air conditioning system in top shape is essential for comfort, especially during scorching summer days. One of the critical aspects of maintaining your car’s AC system is ensuring it has the right amount of refrigerant gas. Over time, the AC system can lose refrigerant due to leaks or natural wear and tear, leading to reduced cooling efficiency. Here are five essential tips for properly refilling your car’s AC gas and ensuring optimal performance.

1. Understand the Right Refrigerant Type

Before you start the refilling process, it’s crucial to know the correct type of refrigerant for your vehicle. Most modern cars use R-134a refrigerant, while newer models may use R-1234yf, a more environmentally friendly alternative. Check your car’s owner manual or the sticker on the AC system to determine the correct refrigerant type. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage your AC system and void warranties.

2. Check for Leaks

Before adding refrigerant, it’s important to check for any leaks in the AC system. Leaks can lead to refrigerant loss and reduce the effectiveness of your AC. Look for oily residue around AC hoses, connections, and the compressor. If you notice any signs of leakage, it’s advisable to have the system inspected and repaired by a professional before refilling the refrigerant. Many auto parts stores offer leak detection kits, or you can take your vehicle to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.

3. Use the Correct Tools

Refilling your car’s AC system requires specific tools, including a refrigerant gauge set and a can of refrigerant. The gauge set helps you monitor the pressure levels in the AC system to avoid overcharging. Overcharging can cause damage to the AC components and reduce efficiency. Ensure you use a gauge set that’s compatible with your car’s refrigerant type and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting and using the tools.

4. Follow the Proper Procedure

When refilling the refrigerant, it’s important to follow a precise procedure to ensure a successful refill:

Locate the Low-Pressure Port: The AC system has two ports: high and low pressure. The low-pressure port is where you’ll connect the refrigerant can. It’s usually larger in diameter and located on the AC line.

Attach the Refrigerant Can: Connect the refrigerant can to the low-pressure port using the gauge set. Be sure to secure the connection to prevent leaks.

Check the Pressure: Turn on the car’s engine and AC to the maximum setting. Check the pressure gauge to ensure it’s within the recommended range for your vehicle. Slowly add refrigerant while monitoring the gauge to avoid overcharging.

5. Monitor and Test the AC System

After refilling the refrigerant, monitor the performance of your AC system. Check if the air conditioning is blowing cold air and listen for any unusual noises. If the AC system is still not functioning correctly or if the refrigerant level drops quickly, there might be an underlying issue that requires professional attention. Regular maintenance and timely refills are essential for keeping your AC system in optimal condition.

Conclusion

Properly maintaining your car’s air conditioning system involves more than just refilling refrigerant. By understanding the right refrigerant type, checking for leaks, using the correct tools, following proper procedures, and monitoring the system’s performance, you can ensure your AC remains effective and reliable. If you’re unsure about any aspect of the refilling process or encounter persistent issues, don’t hesitate to consult a professional mechanic for assistance. Keeping your AC system in top shape will not only ensure comfort during your drives but also extend the lifespan of your vehicle’s air conditioning components.

Professional services typically ensure minimal disruption, prioritize your safety, and offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Additionally, they should be equipped to handle a variety of issues, from flat tires to engine failures, and provide support in a courteous and timely manner.

When your car breaks down unexpectedly, finding a reliable breakdown service nearby is crucial. Local breakdown services offer quick and efficient assistance to get your vehicle back on the road. They typically provide services like towing, jump-starting, and minor roadside repairs. To find the best options, consider searching online for "breakdown service near me" or checking reviews and ratings on local service directories. Ensure the service provider is available 24/7 and has a good reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction.

A well-functioning air conditioning system is essential for comfort, especially during hot weather. If your car’s AC is not cooling effectively, it might need a gas refill. Look for “car AC gas refilling near me” to find local service centers that can recharge your AC system with refrigerant. Technicians will check for leaks, inspect the AC components, and ensure your system is operating at optimal performance. It's a good idea to inquire about the cost of refilling and any additional charges for diagnostics or repairs.

Teflon coating provides a protective layer to your vehicle's paint, offering resistance to scratches, stains, and environmental damage. The price of Teflon coating varies depending on your car’s size, the coating brand, and the service provider.  For an accurate estimate, contact local auto detailing shops and request quotes. Make sure to inquire about the quality of the coating and any additional services included in the price.

Keeping your car clean is not only about aesthetics but also about maintaining its value. In Hosur, you can find several car wash services offering various packages, from basic washes to detailed detailing. Look for local car washes by searching “car wash Hosur” online or asking for recommendations from friends or local social media groups. Many car washes offer additional services such as interior cleaning, waxing, and polishing, so you can choose a package that suits your needs.

If you need a quick car wash, finding a nearby service can save you time. Search for “nearby car wash” to locate car wash facilities close to your location. Many car washes offer express services for a fast, efficient clean, as well as more comprehensive options for a thorough detailing. Check customer reviews and ratings to ensure you choose a reputable service provider. Consider visiting during off-peak hours to avoid long wait times and get the best service experience.

EURUSD struggles to rebound after strong Retail Sales, AUDUSD drops

US Retail Sales are Stronger than Expected

US Retail Sales were 0%, up from -0.3% forecasted and lower than 0.3% last month. Despite retail sales being at 0%, control group sales rose by 0.9%, which may reduce concerns about confidence in consumer spending.

Auto and gas significantly contributed to the result, increasing by 0.8%. The leading category was Nonstore retailers, which rose by 1.9%. The latest result, combined with inflation data, will likely cause the Fed to cut interest rates later this year.

Following the news, EURUSD has found resistance from the 1.09 pivot. However, the price will probably find support from the descending trendline. If the price finds support, it will likely get further resistance from the 1.09 pivot soon after.

AUDUSD declined sharply from 0.68, and the price looks set to test the prior swing swings around 0.67 plus the ascending trendline for potential support. If the price declines further, it will likely find support from the descending trendline, which may coincide with the 0.6650 pivot.

Canadian CPI Drops Below Forecasts as Concerns Grow

Canadian CPI drops to -0.1%, lower than 0.1% forecasted and 0.6% previously. On a year-over-year basis in June the result increased by 2.7%, less than the 2.9% in May.

The main reason for the decline since last month was lower gas and durable goods prices. However, to help offset the decline, groceries rose by 2.1% as food prices continue to increase.

After the news, USDCAD continues to climb as it tests the descending trendline and 1.37 level. Additionally, the price will probably find resistance from the first-time pullback to the ascending trendline.

Puppy Adventure Checklist

Department Store // Home Goods / At Home / Kohls / Ross / Burlington / Marshals / TJ Max / Old Navy / Macys / Dillards / JC Penny

Outdoor Locations // public playgrounds / accessible playgrounds / outdoor gyms / outdoor pools / parks with ponds, lakes or fountains / tennis & basketball courts / skate parks /

Beauty Supply Store // I personally don’t feel comfortable bringing a SDiT into a store with very strong smells. It’s overwhelming for me so I’m sure it’s very uncomfortable for them. I also avoid the isles with laundry detergent or bug killer of other stores for the same reason.

Grocery Stores // We wait until we have solid public access skills before we tackle places that sell a lot of food. Our grocery stores of choice are: Costco, Target and Sprouts. The HyVee & ALDIs in our city have tight isles that make it difficult to maneuver and get space as needed so I generally don’t go there until more advanced in public access. I personally avoid Walmart 100% of the time.

Other places too advanced for a young puppy include: museums, zoos, arcades, movie theaters, doctor appointments and any other place that is either too distracting/intimidating, you can’t leave immediately if your puppy gets overwhelmed or if the stakes are too high if something goes wrong.
