Trials and Tribulations of Rural Living

[Goodburbon]

My brand new $60k Jeep Grand Cherokee back when I was working in the oil patch out in ND. Caught a dozen of the bastards in that thing inside a week.

I remember taking my Sebring in for normal maintenance once (hadn't drivien it in months but it was time) and was told by the mechanic that they found a bunch of mini-pretzels on the air filter. Freaking mice ...

In my F250, the onboard fan filter was totally filled up with dry dog food (pellets). Had filled up to the point that I removed five or six Campbell soup cans full of these pellets. Source of the dog food was over 50 yards away from the garage where the PU was parked. Was one busy little critter making that many trips.

I grew up on a farm in rural michigan. We would ocausionly find mouse nests in the machinery. Sometimes if something would not run or not run right there would be a nest in tha air cleaner.
About a year or so ago a critter got under the hood of my sons car and chewed the wire off to the wiper pump. PIA to fix had to take the front bumper off to get to it. Happened here in suburbia.

I can't count the number of mouse nests I've removed from motorcycle airboxes. the best one had to be the CBR900RR that a guy brought to us to fix several years ago. It had been sitting for several months, and needed carbs gone through and a battery. We fired it up to warm it up before changing the oil, and it started smelling like baking bread. twisted the throttle a couple of times, and bird seed starts shooting out of the tailpipe. shut it off, pulled the muffler, and dumped about a pound of bird seed out into the trash can. Industrious little bastards...
