I still need to move the chair but you get the idea:

A Kia Niro owner I was chatting with told me that Kia hired one of the lead designers from Audi, which explains why the Niro looks a lot like an A4 wagon, and could explain the Telluride interior. @Harvey - we have a Kia Rio, which has the same engine as the Hyundai Elantra and a few others in...

This is just a teaser. We finally have enough snow to make a report but the chair is in the wrong place! Will report back after the relocation. The slow start to winter has made me complacent.

What, your workmates can't handle a little dead mouse stoke?

I've had good success with the mouse-proof expanding foam. Great for around drains and other large gaps.

What Camp said about walls is good advice. Think like a trapper: how are the mice getting to the place where the scat is? Put traps along the route. Just got one today, after quite a dry spell. That trap is along a wall, under a counter near the stove. It is a good producer. My other trap is...

Such a rabbithole:

The original Lightfoot version is bar none the best but there are some great covers out there. Unfortunately the Shuffle Demons brilliant jazz fusion version is hidden behind paywalls (only $1 though) but the Headstones' version is pretty awesome:

Lots of stuff to remember today, this is one of them. Can't seem to imbed as a video, it is Billy Strings covering Gordon Lightfoot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kBrQGYMwLaaKL0fWtGCuBIqJVsKdrJdo/view

Consider it a détente, at least.

Back when we were renovating and there were lots of holes in our exterior walls, we had an ermine (AKA least weasel) pop into our house. No mice at that time. If you don't mind sharing your place with a weasel, this may be the way to go.

Things are getting real:

Somewhere I read this: if you live in a rural area, you will have mice in your house. If you can see mice, then you have lots of mice in your house. Trap on.

If you can throw a moose 10 feet, you don't need to be trapping mice.

Did you get the ones with the cheese-shaped pedal? Baited with peanut butter, they are the bomb:

That's what we would do if she didn't happen to be going down there next week. Seems easier to pay in person rather than wait for the mail and get flagged somehow for having an unpaid ticket in NY. Not worried about points at all.

Thans all for the replies. Camp's link is for the New York City fine only, but appreciate the effort. Blue Toes will have a pit stop in Brockton on her upcoming PA trip. What a schmozzle. Here in the Hinterlands, you get a ticket and the fine in outlined on the notice. Unless you want to wait...

Thanks, got my Interstates mixed up. It was I 90.

And what about the poor speeders that live far away, in Japan, Germany, or Alaska? They are most likely saying eff It, I am not paying, too complicated, and NYS is missing out on that income. Those speeders don't GAF, they are never coming back. We are, so it matters.

Yes, there was but that seemed a little old-school. JFC, this the 23rd century. Here in the Hinterlands you can pretty much do all this stuff online, especially since COVID. You can even pay NT state thruway tolls online, why not speeding tickets?
