Yep -- I'm a huge fan of wind turbines, solar electric (and water heaters), and fuel cells. Gotta be as energy independent as possible. Gotta run as much BioDiesel as possible, too. I'm good with splitting it up though. Don't want to lose too much power on B100...

I re-set my trap last night for good measure, and I had ANOTHER mouse in there this morning. Only, this one was a female and looks like she recently had babes. I hope there isn't a pile of pinkys somewhere starving to death.
I don't know what is going on with these mice but I can only assume it has something to do with the unusually warm weather we've been having. I keep a really clean house and I am concerned about the mice I have been catching...
well for the PSD compound that Mark plans on buying for all of us poor bastids.......I can haul in the fuel & the Beer by train, everything is cheaper in BULK 
And somebody needs to build a big brass pole for Lisa & Cris to provide entertainment with for all of us 
Halloween pics coming soon lol

I like all of the green ideas. If geothermal is too expensive, we could easily set up all of the houses with corn furnaces. I've been doing reading on those things and they are pretty neat. Depending on where you live, an acre or two corn will heat an entire house for a year...a lot less if we're in warmer climates.

Thats exactly how it is up here too, around the lakes and whatnot. You can build up to a certain point on the beach, and hte beach isnt yours. You can even put your own dock out in the water, the actual dock is yours, but since its on public property, anyone can use it.

I hope not too, but if you just killed a lactating momma mouse you can just about bet you're a hostess for a nest of 4 to 7 of the little critters and I have no advice for you. Thinking about just that is odd, I thought I knew something about everything. Oh well.

Brass pole for the girls and then beat Travis with it? Excellent..In my best Mr. burns voice from Simpsons!
You cant just come out though and announce a brass pole to the girls, a couple margarita's, a few capn and cokes, then bolt the pole up. You cant give them warning. It's like Lisa's mouse trap, you dont go announce it to the mouse that your trying to kill him, you bait him first!!! Sometimes I wonder about you guys....

Best of luck on the rebuild, there are so many places to get parts now. When I was working on mine there wasnt much of an internet, so it was all junkyards and phone calls and someone knows someone who might have something in his garage...

Maybe Scott will make me a custom beat stick, one that is ergonomically designed specifically for me so I don't hurt myself.

I bet Scott could make something sweet for you, maybe you could get a nice pair of SWAT tactical gloves so you can really whale on him!

I figured it was too late now, they messed it up. I'll have to work on another way to bait you gals. How's that go, "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!"
