My 5 gallon bucket mouse trap has been responsible for the demise of about 40 mice. 10 in the last 3 days. Had 7 in there at one time from overnight. It keeps working better and better. I think the thing is attracting the damn critters. At this pace they may become endangered in West Thurston.

Lots of open parking spots at Safeway on HY 99. Fire Department was trying to revive some OD'd junkie in the adjacent bushes. Heroin in Lynnwood must be pretty good.

Heroin is damned rampant and the zombies are everywhere

How did you make your trap?

Drill 2 holes in it on the top and put a conveyor roller in between or 2 pieces of pipe. Put peanut butter on the middle and make 2 ramps to the shaft. Fill the bucket with water.

I'm going to type out 3 paragraphs and wax eloquently about a similar story in my life. Pm me if you figured it out.

Sun was out.. Went to the gym, then came home and worked in the yard, pressure washing all the things, cleaning the roof of the well house and working on organizing the tool shed. It was nice to finally get a good full day outside.

This may not be safe for work, and its kinda gross. If you have a pet snake, or a neighbor you hate, don't put water in it and feed your snake or turn them loose in their garage.

The other day when I was talking about the YL's Mazda needing a belt(s) turned out to be a belt coming off the pulley. I got under the car and see this.
How you do dat dare? Well anyway it's back on. Car sits in the garage another couple days and we are out retiring items and shopping. We're at Ross for a shaving kit and she sees a 3M kit/product for restoring headlights and looks at me. I know that look. It's the "please fix this problem I have" look. I say get the thing and if there's two get both. It's 3M. It's got to be decent.
Now I forgot to get before photos but, the after is good enough.
Those are 11 year old headlight covers that have lived outside their whole life. She's quite happy. So I'm happy.
And again met another WAGUNS member today for a PIF. Two in one week!
The idler pulley is the culprit I'd bet, I had the same problem on my 2002 Focus with the belt coming off or squealing really bad....

The twitter handle @JoelDongsteen. It is a made up twitter account that replaces Joel Osteen's words of your God with Your Dick. It is quite funny if you think of it.

It's staying put now. Hopefully it does but, geez that's a tight area.
