Two weeks...

Since I last fired the 67. After the trip over the divide and the mouse incident I have spent the past two weeks trapping 3 mice. 
Today I went for a beer run and even after two weeks the engine fired after a single pump on the skinny pedal.

Two weeks without driving it? That's a felony where I'm from.
Nice that she far'd up so easily.

Since the mouse incident on the way home from Grand Junction I have spent the time catching mice. The first one I got in two days. The second took 3 days and the forth was 5 days. I only knew of the original mouse and figured if they be one, they be more. After the 3rd mouse I wondered if I'm attracting them to come into the car with the peanut butter.

Re: Two weeks...

Gary try this.
I have caught squirrels, mice, and problematic chippys...unfortunately.

5 gallon bucket about 1/2 full of water with sunflower seeds for birds covering entire surface of water to prevent a reflection, at least that’s what was shared with me last year.
And placed a small board or stick as a ramp to top edge.

I placed the buckets outside away from the garage and cars.
You’re attracting the rodents to the garage otherwise.
When I did see or hear any inside, I would place one inside garage until I caught my pest.

This is a bit cleaner than the peanut butter trap.
I’ve even scooped out the dead and add a little more seeds to freshen up the bait for the next session.

Funny thing, last year I had 2 buckets setup about 10-15 feet apart...they all went into same bucket...never touched the second bucket at all.

With neighbors close by with little kids, didn’t want to use .22 or 30-06.😂😂😂
