BYC Café

[DobieLover]

Good morning Cafe. This morning I remembered to brew a pot of coffee for everyone.

I'm anxiously awaiting full dawn so I can see if I nailed two mice. I forgot about the "stuff a piece of bread into the peanut butter" part of baiting the traps and the little vermin just licked all the PB off the first night. I'm pretty darn sure I nailed them last night.

On the run camera, it looks like one of the traps flew out of the crate. That was some precise flipping to get through the wires. Shad would tell me to leave it there and let the chickens tear up the dead mouse and eat it.

The trap circled in red is out of the crate. The one in the blue square is upside down inside the crate.
I hate emptying them though...

Good morning and thanks for the coffee! Fireplace ashes work great for ice, I'm telling ya...
Our snow totals have dropped in estimation to only 3 inches, works for me.
Shad, what is your first meal in your proper frying pan? Enjoy the day, Cafe!

Good morning, and thanks for the coffee. 2 mice down - how many to go?

Good morning Cafe, thanks for the coffee Tonya (and congrats on getting rid of a couple of mice)!

It's lightly snowing here and blowing too...hoping it blows into the next county

2-3 inches of heavy wet snow here, settling down because it's so wet. It'll pack into ice tonight. Hopefully not before we can get it off the driveway.

Looks like a good day to do inside stuff.

Yes, I've been told. I'm being a dork about not dumping my ash bucket out on my freshly top-coated driveway.
If it comes to it and it starts getting really slick, I'll cave and do it.

2 mice down - how many to go?

Good question. I'll keep a running tally.
I was grateful that they both fell off the hammer easily. I hate prying their crushed skulls off.

And in the service that immediately followed their demise:

Good afternoon @N F C !

Just my kind of humor and it really lights up my otherwise grey and dreary day, thank you!
