Things I am pondering today

[stu yoakam]

I have a bolt in cat and pipe for it from summit if I can get the old studs out and the O2 sensors. Otherwise need a booger flange of some kind to be able to bolt the muffler back on. Do have a hobo freight 99 cent welder that makes good popcorn. IF the critters haven't chewed anything up. The head strap on my helmet broke, does anyone know where to get a new one? Zip ties might work...

POS rodents ate my coil wires again. Good thing I had a spare pigtail. Should probably order a spare spare then.

I have always had luck with putting a small plastic container of mothballs in vehicles when I store them. Seems to be a deterrent against rodents! Might wanna try that. A package of mouse poison also doesn’t hurt!

don't they sell electronic boxes that deter infestations?

Not stored. Daily driver. They still f with it anyway. They only sell non toxic "poison" now. The last rat I had ate the stuff like it was crack. Put cinnamon, cayenne, and peppermint all over a few months ago and it seemed to help. Need some kind of cover to deter them like a plastic lid or metal grate. Was going to try split loom but they ate the factory stuff already. They make the fiberglass spark plug boots and metallic wraps for starter wires etc. but that is expensive. Squirrels are too smart for the rat traps and the glue trap just sucked up leaves and shit. Could try antifreeze. Poison and bullets are frowned upon inside city limits.

Mouse trap monday on youtube showed a video of mice inches away from one for hours on camera while eating or whatever and completely ignoring it. Also squirrels apparently enjoy super-fire hot almonds. They probably aren't dumb enough for a rubber snake.

Bought a rug at the dollar store that resembles a placemat to cover the coils. Its a good fit and rough like velcro if I come up with zip ties or wire to hold it in place but I started to worry it might hold heat in. IDK

Just found out Greaserama will be in a different location this year. Not sure how I feel about that. I liked when it was at the Boulevard Drive In. It has been at the fairgrounds in Tracy MO for many years now. Don't know why they are moving but it's the same place as the rusty metal swap meet. They had to move when the Twin Drive In closed in november.

We should have smilies for "hats off" or "in memory".

You need a cat.

[stu yoakam]

I have only seen one cat in the last year or two. IDK if they chase squirrels or not. Probably would run away or get eaten by a coyote or whatever else we have around here. Neighbors have a dog but it lives inside most of the time.

Pondering what it would cost to own a shopping mall. Your own movie theater, arcade, snack shop, kitchen, Sears or whatever automotive, loads of parking, sometimes underground. Might even be able to run karts or golf carts indoors. Mini golf, laser tag... Probably could set up a concert space. Pipe dream to have an Austin City Limits style set up for bands.

Also one for music/party.

Map says its two miles north of the Twin on the same 291 highway.
