The Winner is me. And it is only March 01. Beat this with a stick:
A rodent made an appearance in the basement shop last night. Fine - the cold drives them in every year this time. I am weaponized to deal with this annoyance. I have 2 of the heavy duty Victor spring/bar rat traps.
Wanted to check them out to see that they were in working order. ` Set one - and to test it, I grabbed a pencil......except I grabbed a black ink pen that was beside it.
Tapped the trap's foot pedal, the trap flew, snapped the pen - obliterated it. Black ink sprayed everywhere.........fortunately a roll of Scotts blue towels and a squeeze bottle of DNA were right beside me - - got the monitor cleaned up after 3 - 4 dozen wipings. But - in the meantime, my hands are all splotched with ink.
Fortunately, LOML left this AM for the Philly Flower Show, so I have a few days to try to get back to normal............
You guys wanna compete with me for the award, you'd better bring your A Game.
But I wonder - does this mean the rat has won, even after I hammer him?
