Woohoo!! another week over - gee soon it will be Christmas ha ha :)
This one was way busy, lots of things happening and one will hopefully see the work pay off over the weekend. Next week I'm on a conference here in Seattle {did I mention it's still raining ;) }, so I will do my posts when a get a moment, but maybe the change of scenery from my office to downtown Seattle will get me thinking of other things I should write about.
Rats... we have them, house rats that is :( running around the attic space - damn things make a right racket I can tell you. So a few weeks ago I put down some bait and had no takers, so much for what the package instructions say.
This week I get a phone call from Julie {t'other half} saying her car was in the garage for some work, she told me the mice {we didn't know they rats at this time} had cost her $500 for a wee wire that cost $5. Further explitives later and they whole story is that part of the engine needs to be dropped to get to the wire - the wire caused a few lights, like engine management to light up.
Tonights task was to get to our local DIY store - Lowes, where I bought 3 huge monster traps for rats and now have them strategically placed around our garage, and am waiting patiently for the klaccck sound of them firing :)
I just inspected them {you know it's like fishing - you gotta keep checking}, and nothing as yet - but I did see one of the blighters - including tail about 12-15" long. Put it this way it a damn big mouse :)
I must dig out my recordings of 'DangerMouse' that was a fine cartoon, the music for it would be very fitting right now - hee hee!!
Anyway, I'll keep you posted {'scuse the pun} on the escapades of our little visitors and hope the eventual outcome is pleasent, well for us anyway.

Rats eh, yeah we had a dose of them too, also in the loft space. Drove Susie mad hearing them scamering about up there. I was OK cos I am on the opposite corner of the house, they didnt get that far. Though the other day she opened the kitchen cupboard to finf herself face to face with a mouse! He was breakfasting on my weetabix, I'm sure thats not all he was doing on my weetabix! Later!
