At Shaver Lake, a customer's DUAL exhaust on his Jaguar XKE was filled COMPLETELY filled with Maize by mice, in just 3 months of storage!!! NO! it wouldn't even TRY to fire & blow the chicken feed out. He flatbedded it down to civilization & to JOHNNIE'S MUFFELATOR SHOP. Two years later, J.P.'s still findin' MAIZE in cracks & crevices of his PIT!! And when it rains, Maize sprouts out of the cracks, maybe he could sell sprouts to the CHINESE restaurant, down the street?? Buster T. wants to know, "WHY DID GOD MAKE RATS & MEECES? Do they serve a useful purpose anywhere"?---I don't have a good answer for him. (Maybe for SNAKE FOOD? So if God hadn't have made snakes, there'd be no need for him to make MICE?? & then everybody wouldn't be tryin' to make a better MOUSE trap!!---Goin' to bed, my head HURTS! How come NOBODY CALLS????) bill w.
SERIOUSLY, please pray for my neighbor & friend, Andy, he had a huge brain aneurysm yesterday & was flown to the Bay Area, all I know today, is that he's moving his eyes & arms & hands.

well id rather have snakes and other critters that eat mice than mice...never heard of a cat or a snake destroying an engine... ive had to kill several this year with a sledge hammer. Usually just kill em and toss em in the open yard. Bird or cat usually finds it - circle of life haha. Im not really one for killing things that i aint gonna eat (except spiders mosquitos and ticks) so i like to do it the painless way possible, get em trapped in a metal bucket and hover the sledge over them and drop it. If i didnt have a fear of ricochet BB's or pellets taking out a neighbors window or my car windows id be having too much fun but dont get me wrong, most things are fun to pet but better to chew

my original engine would have probably been OK if mice hadent gotten to 2 of the cylinders, 2 valves were completely corroded off from the inside and one piston was very pitted. got the engine to move tho. Bored way to big already unfortinately. Block seems to be good so it is rebuildable but gonna need alot of work (new sleeves pistons etc)
