Is there a color that the Germans didn't use to plan an operation?  If so I'd like to know, because I need a name for my Case XXXXXXX operation.

No, Case Plaid was the little known planned invasion of Sconny Botland, er, Bonny Scotland.

Case aeneous - (No, this is not a secret project by Azz to hook up with Gus).

Case coccineous - (No, this is not a secret project by Azz to hook up with Gus).

Case flammeous - (No, this is not a secret project by Azz to hook up with Gus).

Case porphyrous  - (No, this is not a secret project by Azz to hook up with Gus).

Case testaceous   - (No, this is not a secret project by Azz to hook up with Gus).

I have photos of the groundhog's bunker which I will soon publish on the intrawebs.  However, I've just learned that years ago ibuypower issued me a bunked media card reader.  I've never had occassion to use it until today.

Some of the older media readers can't read the newer high capacity SD cards.

Hmm...That maybe so.  However it's easier to focus my rage at a single entity than an entire technological advancement.

Excellent strategy: divide and conquer.

OK here are some images of the groundhog's fortification:

This is an overview of the surrounding battlefield.  Just in front of the shed door is the bunker.  Off to the right is the kids play area.  Notice there is a perfectly ready to go crows nest in the upper left side of the playset.



The location of the bunker in front of the shed door.  It's about 24 inches or so in diameter.  The are no built up fortifications surrounding the hole.  It's level with the ground but clearly visable.



The interior provides excellent concealment for my foe.



Here are a couple of images where I used the flash to expose the first 10 to 12 inches of the bunker entrance.  I have no idea how deep this thing goes.  I do know that I filled it in last week and it was dug out by the next morning.

I'm weighing my options, but first I need a name for the operation.  There can be no operation without a name.

You sure there's none of them ten-foot mantibled megaworms in there as well? You might want to rip up the Geneva convention on this one.

If the Groundhog nation didn't sign onto the Geneva Convention do I still need to honor it?

I like it.  Fall Braun.  What's German for fall?  Otherwise it sounds like I named the operation after a brand of paper towels.
