That's a metric 3/16 turn or SAE 1/4.  Rounded numbers are more precise, ya know...

Burma, what have we told you about drinking and posting?  Are we going to have to have another intervention?


And the new guy continues to impress me.  Nice rant.  Where rodents are concerned, I've always bought American.  They're a little more expensive, but they're bigger and have more power.

You are so right!  I am dealing with American rodents (mice) right now in my house.  They are a blur when they are scooting across the floor and they are even able to avoid the Glue Boards due to their speed.  Now if I was dealing with Chinease mice's, I would have a bucket full.  How much flesh would that be worth?

At least a solid portion of 3/16s of a metric 1/2 ton, depending on the exchange rate at the time and what type of bucket you have.

I think you may be right; however, I don't want to encourage him. One or two rodents is fine, but three or more indicates a problem.

just how do you rejet after gerbil/ hamster installation. the good thing about gerbil/ hamster baffles is that after a few hundred miles and some marinade they are fully cooked the the exhaust gasses blowing around them blows all the hair off.

I don't know about rejeting after gerbils, but after those stinkin chinese mice built a nest in my air cleaner, well, that was the last straw.

Techie Tip; Gerbils love high caffeine/vitamin B energy drinks. Lean out your mixture when providing anything with more than 3 different B vitamins, otherwise the hamster/gerbil wheels bearings are likely to implode.

Also, three mice aren't really too bad, if they are blind. If not, you may have to do the conversion yourself.

I'm recently moved to Wisconsin, you know, the cheese state, so we have an overload of immigrant mice here taking up residence (and sometimes residents too) all over the place.

Just a tip, if you have older mice that still have balls, make sure to wash them from time to time.

Wash the mice or the balls?  And use what?: Carb dip or the spray carb cleaner?

I'm afraid that that owl, while a good idea, will place too much load on your system.  The cats and the owl will end up competing for the limited hamster supply, and as a result the signals will not operate.  Instead, just run two standard cats up front, their night vision is not as good as the owl but at least you'll have lots of pu... erm um yeah.

  Good advice Mystic and I would suggest further that a domestic cat and not an import would be more readily understood to the average public.

Man, Klark, that was a blast from the past. My pop (he worked an interesting career at IBM) showed that to me back in the early 90's.

You're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

I did a lot of acid in the hippy days.

Better yet, use solid state cats, they use less hamsters than the old filament cats.
