I've been having problems with a squirrel, so I built a live trap. The trap worked great!

.... the live part, not so well.
 
I have a squirrel problem as well. My wife keeps "saving" them so we have them in our house for a while......

A few weeka ago I mentioned the colonscopy deal. I had additional tests done including cutting a large chunk out of my colon wall.
The results just came back and I am ok.:D
Now, back to rat rod building.[cl
 
haven't been payin' much attention here lately, :eek: but good reports are always good news, ......bob, glad you got it..........[cl


on another note i must share the way yesterday went for me.......
started about 7:15 firing up the old 46, headin' for my shop (15 miles away) got about 5 miles down the road and it splutters and dies, like its outta gas but it wasn't. i roll into a driveway and get out, raise the hood and look around-yep, the carbs' getting NO gas-must be the filter....pocketnkife-turned-screwdriver and filter is removed only to find it flows freely...crank motor with line "open" (not fire-safe i know) but no gas there either--fuel pump!?[S

grab my cell phone to call the lil' lady cell, but my phone is DEAD :mad:

about 10-15 minutes i hitch a ride back home.....get the car go to the shop, get a buddy and we take his f-250 to pick it up-i might mention i had to go borrow my own trailer back but that's another story.....
by the time we get to my old truck it's raining-just a lite shower not heavy-but bad enuf to get soaked...my friend has an electric winch and we start to pull it up on the trailer, now by this time--10 am--i'm not feeling to "ratrod friendly"...standing there as people drive by gawking and all
......and then it hits me......


I WORE MY OLD KILL BILLET SHIRT THIS MORNING!!!!

.........no wonder i had so much trouble
i think i'll trash it today so i don't have any more "fun" like that:rolleyes:

Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed!!!:eek:.:D..CR..
 
The early bird may get the worm, but he he waits long enough the cat will be full (of the "early birds")and he will not get at by the cat!!:eek:;)
yeah......that one never worked for me when i was telling my dad either:D
 
i always heard " the early bird may get the worm, but it's the 2nd mouse that gets the cheese!"




any way, while i'm here i'll "vent" a little .....

fell off a ladder sat. afternoon, landed on my right wwrist/arm and "snap, crackle, pop" off to the ER....soooooo now i'm typing one handed, and pretty much outta the shop for a while, also naturally i'm unable to play my tunes on th' 6 string... everything i enjoy doing...now UNABLE TO :mad::mad:

coulda been worse....at least i'm a natural "lefty" and i can still preach (though having only one arm to wave as i holler & slobber makes it different)
 
I promise I'm going to start on my 34 Tudor project soon. I'm still having trouble finding some parts that I want. I need a REALLY NICE set of 35 Ford wire wheels with no pits. Seems simple enough but I'm striking out.
 
Sorry to hear about your arm HRP! :( At least you're left handed with a broken right hand. I've broken my right arm twice and I'm right handed....real awkward in some situations!!!!!:eek:...We're waiting patiently Gastrick!!!:D No excuses now that you're "Retired" right?....CR
