9:57:29 AM 8/31/04 “Do they have little straight jackets for the mice? Do they keep them in a padded cage?” 9:59:41 AM 8/31/04 “Genes from a Canadian family, eh? I knew it - I just knew it!” 10:05:53 AM 8/31/04 “I wonder if the mice like to watch hockey and drink beer, eh.” 10:14:25 AM 8/31/04 “Them's the normal ones.” 10:16:27 AM 8/31/04 I had a dream last night “YEah i had a weird dream last night: I used to clean pools and sometimes to fix certain things u would have to jump in with some scuba gear. Well one of the polls that was old that i cleaned when i came to open it in the summer the water was alreadey full but the walls had crumbled and gone under the cement to the basement and the basement wass full of water. blah blah blah In my dream though there were MICE swiming around!!!” 10:29:15 AM 8/31/04 “F*ckin' rat basturds walked and crapped all over the inside of my glue box traps and then they walked off with one of my glue trays last night. I can't find the freakin' thing. It was behind the stove and frig and now its gone. I'm gone, nowhere to be seen in the kitchen or surrounding rooms. They didn't even leave a f*ckin' note saying thanks for the peanut butter sucka'. I'm not anal when it comes to cleaning,,I'll be first to admit that there is a comfortable layer of filth here,, but jeeze, bugs even starve here. Anybody know how to repair 12ga. blast hole in the floor. j/k. So when you have mice problems(cuz this is the season for some) what do you put down,,trap wise?” 8:54:26 AM 11/11/04 “Victor. They make a model that is an "easy-set" type. The great thing about these is that you can bait them, set them, and place them, then use a dowel or a pencil and gently tap the bait tray to give the trap a "hair-trigger". The mice never know what hits them, as it generally gets them right across the brain pan.” 8:57:28 AM 11/11/04 Sure Fire Tip “When I lived in New Hampshire, I had an annual fall problem as mice would seek the warmth and comfort of my house as winter set in. A friend at work told me the best bait is peanut butter, but that the little devils will actually "sip" or lick it from the trap w/o setting it off. I could have told him that cause I was using the old fashioned snap traps and peanut butter and I was just raising fat mice and catching none. He told me to take some ordinary 3" or 4" of thread and tie it to the "pan" whereyou put the peanut butter and then when you put peanut butter on the trap and set it, make sure the thread is balled up in the peanut butter. When the mouse licks of sips the peanut butter he will swallow the thread, and cannot do anything about it. Then when he backs away, he pulls the thread and springs the trap even if he ate all the peanut butter form it. Good trick!!!! It cleared me of mice in three days.” 9:29:32 AM 11/11/04 “A 1" thick wooden ramp to a dish pan with 3" of antifreeze. (the best part is if you are gone, closing a camp etc, when you come back the antifreezed mice dont rot and stink)” 12:17:32 PM 11/11/04 “BUT YOUR DOG OR KIDS DRINK THAT...BYE BYE PUPPY!” 5:55:22 PM 11/11/04 “We had a mouse that was dining on the fine peanut butter (crunchy!) that I was using to bait a Victor spring trap. I couldn't figure out how it was leaving absolutely no trace of peanut butter without setting off the trap. (Now I know; thanks AJ!) I was able to make the darn thing work by smearing the peanut butter into the underside of the trigger, but the screwy mouse still took the trap for a ride before expiring!” 12:06:46 PM 11/12/04 “BUT YOUR DOG OR KIDS DRINK THAT...BYE BYE PUPPY Works well on spouses too!” 1:22:33 PM 11/12/04
