Oh POOP!

Truck sat for the last year. Neglected. Mice ate the wiring so no power to the key switch. I got it started and moved. Loaded it with rat and mouse poison.

Dang, Humphrey, that's a LOT of mouse poop!

Rich. We'll see. I don't get excited about anything anymore. As long as the check clears, I'll be happy.

Better use the poison that dries them out from the inside. You do not want them to get in the a/c duct work and get to stinking.

RatX works by coating these villi and disrupting the rodent's nervous system. ... After a few days, the rodent dies after a period of lethargy and sleep. After death, the RatX that remains in the digestive system rapidly absorbs all the water remaining in the body, causing it to dry out and mummify.

Poo cleans out way easier than mouse wizz, its corrosive and getting in the carpet, headliner and if they get in the a/c vent tube and or heater box and die ='s STINK 100.

Once killed, open baking soda boxes. A bowl or 2 of BBQ grill charcoal brickets (not the lighter fluid soaked ones) help soak the smell. Some bars of Irish Spring soap. Cat wizz is worse.

Maybe leave the doors open and the hood open to get them out I am sure starting it helped. Evict them for a bit. I like live trip spring round traps, that way I know I got them out. And can make sure my 22 is still sighted in. Duct tape the hole and reuse.

Well so much for a good night's sleep, let alone sleeping in. Good early morning folks, so what the plan for the day?

Interrupted....if never even really got started. I think I got 2 or 3 hrs of sleep, and I have a busy day ahead of me.

I'm gonna cut some steel this morning, then go get the truck set up a little after noon. Hopefully, everything works out and nothing ticks me off today.

Welp, the video shoot is done and everything is loaded back up. I'm gonna have to give the big guy a bath. The name of the song was "Kickin' up dust" ...I sure did. Poor thing is grey now. But aside from getting hot a few times, he did great and the guy paid in cash, so all is well.

Ah Alan.....you know the deal.

They had swimsuit tops and bottoms on, but I am more patriotic than brave now days.

And obviously these guys could care less.
