I had an "interesting" experience today. And this is what we called in the Navy a "No Sh***er".....

I was driving down the road when a 1/2 grown mouse crawled out of the center console of my 2006 Prius.

After I grabbed the mouse, I rolled down the window and chunked it out.

A few minutes later, a SECOND mouse crawls up my leg and onto the seat.

When I grabbed for it, it fell back into the foot well. About a minute later, here it came again.
This time I was able to grab it and eject it out the window.

I spent the rest of the afternoon wondering --
A) how'd they get in there?
B) how many more are in there?
C)Where's the momma?
D) If a full grown mouse could get in to have a litter, couldn't a rattlesnake following the scent of mice get in the same way?

I have mouse traps set in the car tonight.--

Mice are very good at getting into places you'd expect they wouldn't fit. AC condensers can provide water for them and the airbox makes a nice nest. Mice don't like mothballs so put a bunch of those in any place a mouse might be and they'll leave on their own.

I already bought a couple of boxes of mothballs today. In the morning, I'm gonna hang a sock full under the hood. I'm not sure about putting them in the car itself. I have enough trouble getting dates without smelling like the hall closet all the time.

I traded a ton of A2 for a knife I made and they threw in some 1/2" bar... I wasn't about to try to grind it down with my 1x42...

So how many belts and hours did it take to grind that monster?

The answer to D) is "yes"... which obviates the need for mousetraps. :thumbup:

I once switched the vent in one of the cars from the dash panel to the floor and maybe a quarter cup of dog food came pouring out onto the floorboard. My only conclusion was that mice had been using the ventilation ducts to store food for winter. Yes, they can wiggle into really small spaces.
 
I definitely prefer my ducks ventilated.
Milo takes care of the mice.
 
I have never heard or seen the word "obviate" before tonight.

Thanks for the education, James.:D
 
Before CB posted i just figured it meant "made obvious" or something like that... Glad i went ahead and looked it up LMAO

A person would think that... but nope. Which is what makes it such a fun word to sneak in from time to time. Makes people think you're all smart and stuff...

I started to grind it with 80 grit and I wasn't going anywhere, I called tru grit and they hooked me up with some 1x42 belts at 36 grit and worked my why up, still took me a few days to grind... Re-grind...*Finished weigh in is at 4 pounds 3.6 ounces

I dont know what your financial situation is 710, but if your going to grind hosses like that on a regular basis, might want to think about upgrading to a 2x72 grinder, prefferably with a 2hp motor. you can get 24 grit belts for those, cut your grinding time down by 2/3 easy. Of coarse, once you swing that thing a few times, your probably so strong you dont mind standing at a grinder all weekend, Personaly, in know grinding 4 M-18's in one day is enough to kick my ass, and there 1/4 in.

mine was fine, but I admit to a certain amount of sweetening agents.
 
I do enjoy the sweet creamers.. I have been using Almond Joy creamer for a couple weeks.. It is good stuff.
 
My coffee is excellent, no sweetener. Colectivo Blue Heeler blend, brewed in a French Press and enjoyed all the way in to work. Life's too short to drink office coffee.
