Biggest damn squirrel I've ever seen was near the birdfeeder this morning. Every bit of 2 foot, nose to tip of tail. Fat as can be. Tail the color of a red fox, and a white nose. Google search says it is a Midwestern fox squirrel.

I was going to say Fox Squirrel. They can easily get that big.

Saw this at racetrack in Hickory today. Someboday got paid for this, and I'll be 20+ people laid eyes on some version of it (lay out, digital, print, etc) by the time it went up.

Shit happens all the time haha. A few years back we had a banner stand printed for a client. They provided art. 3-4 people there proofed it, boss proofed it. I opened the .eps file just for grins so I’d know what to look for when it came in, “Kentucky” was spelled “kentucy” and nobody had caught it. It’s next to impossible to walk through a trade show and not pick out content mistakes.

Benchmade makes some very good knives, and are the best company I have ever spoken to about warranty issues.
I managed to break the blade on one of their red class knives I had owned for more than 5 years, by using it to split kindling from a big log. 100000% my fault.
I sent it back to them, asking if I could pay to have it repaired. They no longer made the knife I had, but gave me twice what i paid for it in credit to order a new knife.
I explained again, that it was my fault the original blade had been broken. They said if you are able to break one of our knives, we should give you a new one.
Again, this was one if their red class (lowest end) knives.

This is what ended up replacing it.....

I hate being a printing pressman.
I see the errors without even looking after doing it for almost 30 yrs.
My favorite one was walking into a school office with a very large calendar on the wall behind the receptionists counter and mentioning the calendar had a grammatical error. It was one of those flip-ups with calendar on the bottom, something intelligent written on the top.
It took the High School English teacher 2 weeks to find it.

Which blade is on that one? This s30v is thin and razor sharp it may be to small for my edc/work knife I’ll just not be able to unscrew bolts and shit with this thing lol glad to hear their customer service is still good! I had a fixed blade black class given to me when I was younger was a 4-5” skinner if I recall some ass hat stole it in my apt at a party one night tho this is my first one since I owned that one and I love this little knife I may go titanium for lil more rigidity since it only weighs 1.3 oz lol

Did you leave a treat on the end?

I've also seen people smear some peanut butter on the underside (facing the bucket) of the bottle just so they spend more time on it craning their heads toward one side.

On the end? Of the bottle? No. Just in that middle section.. figuring they'd need to walk down the rod and need to put paws on the bottle to get at the peanut butter.

Poor little fawkers...I've had that dream, too...all I wanted was some peanut butter, then I couldn't quite keep my head above the water. Always wondered what that dream meant. Now I know! :lol: Maybe it was my last memory from a previous life. :lol: Okay, time to stop putting crack in my coffee.... :smokin:

Mine failed miserably.....I modified the standard rat traps for a hair trigger and caught one a day while this thing sat smeared in a buffet of peanut butter.


Then a resident Black Snake moved in. Now if I could do something about the massive spider population. They don't "BUG" me but man what a mess in every nook and cranny.

Have you tried a fifth?
 
Solution to mice in shop or basement...accurate air pistol we have little tiny white mice all around the house winter time they come in I leave cat in basement and I shoot the mice he eats the mice I cut his cat food back by half a day! My best result tho which has always worked bc I grew up in hay fields was introducing 13 4-5’+ black snakes on property over last 3 years I’ve maybe had 4 mice I’ve seen since inside but have a few 6’ black snakes now that scare the shit out of everyone lmao and they keep poisonous snakes away too!
 
I always put a piece of dried corn or a peanut in the peanut butter on my mouse traps. I've had plenty of pb baited traps get kicked clean and not trip. The correct or peanut almost always gets them. The lick the pb but get greedy and try to pull the corn off. Works like a charm.
