    Still haven’t found where move get in.
    All winter been getting them on traps.
    Last night/today caught 21.
    Done on sticky traps, then they got smart, seen speedy run and jump a big trap. Cleared it like an Olympic jumper.

    so the judge said hmm…
    New plan.
    In utility room where they always run too, I put this contraption, it caught speedy.

    They been crappin all over utility room. So I can clean it up maybe it’ll stay clean.
    That contraption is a 2 gallon bucket,
    I took handle out and straitened it, drilled holes little bigger in bucket put the handle through, the water bottle, hole drilled in bottom where it’ll spin, and peanut butter smeared, and a paint stir stick for a ramp for them. You ain’t gotta put water if you don’t wanna let them drown, catch and release, but i am thinning out the herd.

    Well, turned down another load. Going 40 miles closer than I usually run, they cut the rate $550.
    Guess I’m on vacation.

    Mike, Mike... Them do not produce juice. Clean up the posst on the battery and it will prolly shoot enough thru them as were to crank the bike.
    Tho that does show what you can do when really get after it...

    "Too much trouble."
    A phrase I loved back when I sold 36V forklift batteries, weight in say 2500 range, selling for say $3600.
    Not bad, considering it provided 5 years of fuel, oil and filter changes, no exhaust repair.... BUT...
    You let it get shaggy, then weak. Pay me to come get; remove from truck, shower with soda compound, scrape corrosion from truck frame/battery box, primer paint it, reassemble, Cut cables clean, and reset into connector, deliver back. $300.00 battery service special...
    Oh, this was in 79/80. Prolly more lucrative now...
