What did you work on today ?

[Too Many Projects]

What I did yesterday, was remove the 292 and TH350 from my '54 210 2 dr sedan. The car will be going to a local swap meet on May 1st and the engine/trans are now destined for a couple C-10's.

Finished up my new trailer hitch project. Irritating detail is that the pre-drilled holes for the safety chains hit on the edge of the ribs. I called B&W about drilling new holes and they said that will void the warranty. So I scalloped the ribs around the anchors then finished it all off with a Line-X installation.

Couldn't get back to China due to Covid so I'm now in Singapore. Will soon tow to Israel. The flare tower is telescopic to get under the Suez Canal bridge.

Pulled the old 1992 Pace trailer out to get it ready to pick up my Hellcat next week. Tried out the brake controller and it is bad (only 10 months old) Luckily I kept the receipts and Drawtite is sending me a replacement under the 1 year warranty.

I then went to clean out the trailer and sweep it out. Of course the mice have been at play. I actually chased one up the side railing and it ran down the rafters to the other end and disappeared between the wall panels. Most of the interior has been removed after years of dealing with mice so there's not a lot of places to hide anymore.

Then I found out why it had stuck around. After moving around the old rags, I found two tiny baby mice on the floor. Ugh! It wouldn't be right to just toss them out in the cold. So I got a little box and put them in it with the stuffing they had collected. I cut a little door in the side and placed a Ritz cracker with some peanut butter on it just inside the little door of the box. I put it back in the same spot I found them and closed up the trailer.

I checked back after 1 hour. No change
2 hour mark: no change
3 hours: the cracker had a couple bites taken out and was moved away from the entrance. I checked the box and it was empty. Mommy Mouse had moved her babies out.

So I left the entire trailer empty with all the doors open overnight so hopefully they will find a place to relocate to.

I also moved the peanut butter box a few feet outside the trailer in the yard, hoping that entices them to move.

You are too nice, Steve. Young mice around me don't reach breeding age, but I do feed the adults...Tom Cat pellets.
