Well it was a balmy 27* last night. It's 41* now. It was around 50* today. I really don't like this weather.

I felt the same way today. This time change really cuts into my outdoors productivity.

Lisa, from my little old mouse problem, I have found that they dont always have lots of babies. Sometimes we would go for weeks without getting one, then we would get one here, one there, then nothing. Usually we would catch one or two small ones and that was it for the babies.
I still cant believe ya caught two in a trap, twice like that.

Very warm here as well. 70's for the past few days and looks to stay that way until about Thursday. I have been enjoying this weather for sure. Makes working on Jeff's truck in the driveway a lot nicer than if it was 50 something degrees.

I myself have never seen a two in one kill like that. You are the mouse hunter.

they were using 7/32" rod I think...and it needed a surface temp of 300 degrees before they could strike an arc...
the coolest welding I saw was an 8 head mig welder...it was automated to resurface the bearing area on a 24 inch diameter 50 foot long propeller shaft.
I never got to see them balance the shaft with the 14' diameter prop on it.
we were working an 8 inch diameter alloy rod about 3 foot long...couple taps with the 3 ton steam hammer and it got a little curve to it...
we laid it on its side and positioned it to straghten it...down comes the hammer...next thing I know I got 150 lbs of 2000 degree metal coming at me...
turns out the tempature block in the oven was in the shadow of the bar stock and it got overheated...so when we hit the side it broke in half!
I was able to jump clear of it!

I bought my plasma cutter for a really good deal, 400 bucks, when I lived in the lower mainland of BC. Its a nice smaller miller plasma.

Seeing those pics makes me realize how much power those little traps have. Enough to completely smash two mice completely flat, twice in one day. Sounds like you may have a few more based on your research.

Yep, but its more complicated than that. They are getting in under the weatherstripping on the back door. I'd have to replace the door, or mess with the landing to keep them from getting in.

I would love to upgrade mine to a miller, and i will one of these days. I got my welder (think its a chicago cheapy brand) from an auction for realy cheap though, so it wasnt a bad buy.
I bought my plasma cutter for a really good deal, 400 bucks, when I lived in the lower mainland of BC. Its a nice smaller miller plasma.
