Looks like a good day at the show.

Did you resolve your “issues” at the storage unit?
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.
Been a long time since I saw a Monza!
Ya, and this one was a nice street car.

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!!
