Looks like a good day at the show.

Did you resolve your “issues” at the storage unit?

Been a long time since I saw a Monza!

Not resolved.
Licking the peanut butter off the traps, but trap not tripping.
I did find there was a sensitive setting on the traps I was unaware of, so we will see if that gets me any sucess.

Ya, and this one was a nice street car.

Maybe time to set up a bucket and plank.

There’s been several threads on GJ on this topic too.

Remember to use antifreeze mix since yiu don’t want the.lm To bump their heads on the ice after they fall in during the winter.

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Here's some pure Fu*kery for you.
I purchased a used 6Ah battery from FB Marketplace, supposed to be "Lightly used in good condition".
It didn't seem to last very long, so I opened it up.
One group of cells isn't connected to anything.
Also looks like it got water in it at some point.
Needless to say I am returning it for a full refund.

On to better news......
This past Friday I had the door windows on the Vega tinted.
They were tinted many years ago.
I had to remove the tint shortly after application (March 1993) to dismiss a "fix-it" ticket from a "by the book" police officer.
Never got around till now to having it redone.

Not sure what you are using for traps but I find these to be more sensitive than the kill bar type

I’m using these here in AZ to trap Kangaroo Rats.
Rat is misleading. These rodents are the size of what we called field mice in Michigan. Only difference is Kangaroo Rats have a longer tail with a tuft of fur on the end.

With this type trap you can increase the sensitivity of the trigger plate by taking the slack out of the tigger mechanism. Kinda like taking the slack out of the trigger on a firearm.

Thanks for recommending those traps.
I ordered some & they should be here tomorrow afternoon.

Thankfully I’ve never had a rodent issue cause we always had cats and now neighbors cats roam our property. I’ve seen some interesting bucket type traps online if you want to make something that look like they work too.

I just learned F’k’ry word about a month ago when the gentleman movie on prime (free for a month again) had in wife’s lines. There is f’kry afoot.

Looks like you fixed the Dewalt 6amp battery? Any chance you know how to bring Dewalt 18v batteries to life cause I’ve got more than a few that hold charges but not for long
Have a grand day and Vega is looking good!!

Jon a while back one of our GJ cohorts mentioned the licked off traps and a suggestion was to use a corner from a blue papertowel/shopcloth and saturate with pb & the oil, they have to tug to get it! Good Luck and I hate meeces to peeces!

Did not fix the battery, returned to seller.

I guess I should have gone into more detail.
The battery was actually working on just the one bank of cells, the other bank was not connected to anything.
(It does work that way, it just doesn't last too long before running out of "juice" on just the one bank of cells).

Someone tried to pass it off as a good battery.
That is the Fu*kery & deceit of someone who had it apart & put it back together like that.

Thanks for the info!

I got the new traps in place yesterday afternoon.
I know the new ones can make your finger hurt really really bad when you accidently trip it.

We'll see if I have results with those.
If not, I will try your suggestion.
