Default Worst we get here in New England is Chipmunks

You guys are having to much fun, (great posts)

The worst we get here in New England are Chipmunks trying to run up our pants legs when we drive off moving the home they’ve built under the seats. For those of you who may not have seen the Carton Characters Chip and Dale, a chipmunk is a small brown squirrel like creature with white racing stripes.

Our county agricultural extension services suggest moth balls for driving away pests. In the case of the snakes I would suggest dispensing the moth balls at close range with a 12 gage shot gun.

Cheers Phil

Snow and freezing temperatures are two reasons why anything in Canada that will kill you is probably much bigger than you.

Default Unwanted guests,

My very first military vehicle restoration I completed was an M38A1 CDN 2 jeep and I decided to drive it to our Military vehicle club meeting to show off my handywork.Everything was repainted and the engine looked brand new.I drove to the meeting where a few members were still outside talking before heading inside when I drove up all proud of my vehicle when one of them said I had a radiator leaking antifreeze.We lifted up the hood and the rad had overheated and spew antifreeze all over the engine and compartment leaving everything filthy.One of the guys took off the rad cap and we dug out a clump of fur which we identified as a mouse (or several mice) that had decided to make my radiator a home.I learned my lesson that day on the importance of plugging all holes when being stored! I never did get that engine clean again!
Derk.
