WICKED PISSA!

[herm]

so,........ noticed this morning a headlight was out in my truck (i actually do a walk around when i havent driven it for a while...). jumped on my bike, picked up replacement bulbs (always replace in pairs)

when i went to istall the new bulb, i found that the problem was actually that my wiring had been chewed up by the local varmints. went back out, got a replacement wiring kit for the headlight. only mildly pissed at this point.

got it wired up, headed out for the local home depot for some stuff....

WTF!!!

1. Speedometer = not working
2. ABS = showing the warning light
3. Turbo (its a power stroke) = not working

look more closely under the hood. those little mother make the beast with two backsers chewed up more wiring than i know what it goes to under my hood. 

luckily, truck still runs, brakes work, etc... just not exactly right.

changed plans. drove to local sporting goods store. purchased high power pellet rifle. stopped for a 12 pack

been fixing the root of my problem for the better part of the day :e:v

i cant wait to see what ford is going to rape me for to get this fixed

I shot me a nester just yesterday and am hunting it's mate as we speak.  Buggers get under my eaves and inside the roof, make babies and I can't sleep past 4am for 6 weeks.    I have a hard enough time sleeping as it is.  Last year we also had pigeons make a roost over our guest quarters roof.  Talk about noisy and messy- sheesh.  Our neighborhood also has eagles so if one o' those decides to make a home in my yard I'm screwed.

I haven't had Herm's problem with wiring being chewed but I did catch 2 mice in a zapper trap that were getting into my grass seed.  And then found two more who supped on some spare laundry detergent.  That must've been a gruesome way to go.

i have 5 acres of the little make the beast with two backss.
each of my neighbors does too.
cant poison them....too many birds of prey around
they arent going away, but this will be therapeutic for me

btw- i had a woodpecker last year who pecked away at the wall righ outside my bedroom for over a month.......every morning 1/2 an hour before my alarm went off.

Howie are those tree rats bothering you in the city?

Or do you have an upstate casa?

Da Bronks, borough of terrorist squirrels.  They harrass the neighborhood cats and dogs.  They also throw things at my wife if she sits under the magnolia tree.

herm... that really sux 
normally, i might shed a few tears for the lil guys,
but not this time.

i have had issues with cute lil field mice getting under the hood of the audi.
they built a nest near the air filter 

one actually lived in the cab of M's tacoma and chewed halfway through the passenger seat belt 
we saw him hanging out on the back window ledge... so we knew he was still in there.
set a trap, but never caught him.

well, weeks later, the audi was in the shop and i needed to borrow the tacoma.
on my way to work, i thought i saw something move, i look over, and that lil bugger was sitting on the passenger seat floor. 
i don't like mice, so i pull over, and he dissapeared..... again.

from that day on... i can't help but feel a little weird in that truck.

I'm a huge fan of varmint hunting and think the predicament is hilarious.

Not the cost of repairs. But that those little buggers are responsible. Now you have a reason to get them.

Reminds me of Caddyshack and ....gophers.

[herm]

not that funny.

trucks in the shop right now, estimate so far is 700.00 

i should set up some kind of high voltage electrical current under the hood of my truck when its parked

i wonder...

[junior varsity]

I know its not really that funny, and if it had happened to me, I'd be really mad.

And that estimate is not pocket change.
