This is too funny. I have a squirrel problem at my house. They like to dig, bury and unbury nuts ect in my flower beds next to my prize roses. I used to like them until I had a place of my own. I have been trapping them for two years now and still there are more daily it seems. They like ritz crackers and peanut butter. I take them to a park that's quite a ways from my home and release them. I have caught at least 50 in the last couple of years. I was naming the little guys like Billy Bob convict #25 but got tired of that and forgot most of the names I used. I ran across this article today. Too funny. Enjoy.

Glad it’s a Chevy. That’s where they belong! Give that squirrel a bucket of peanuts

Pretty smart tree rats! Had one as a pet when I was a kid. Was a rescue baby. Lots of great memories. Went missing once. Found it nested in the canister vacuum cleaner. Mom went to use it and it came flying out of the thing! ?

I feed my locals as well. In the kitchen window feeder. That way they leave my other feeders alone. In buy raw peanuts in the shell. They youngster I almost eating from my hand likes to bury the shelled peanuts in my wife's front porch ceramic pots

Yes, 3hrs 45 min. 2 hrs

In recovery. Just took some more pain meds , Makin it at least an hour passed the due time, started coughing and it goes thru the roof due to all the incisions against the grain in all my ab muscles. Don't realize how much we use those until you cough, sneeze, laugh or try to sit up in this bed....

Doc said they got it all so that's a blessing . The DaVinci robot has a built in ultra sound probe that allows doc to find all the cancer and the edges and then cauterize into the good kidney tissue and take it out without bleeding. I asked about getting a DVD or link to my surgery so I can watch it.


Hey if I get it, I should start a thread labeled what I did without my Ranger today! Hahahahha

Here's the awning I had made and then the feeder I made hangs below and has a bracket holding it against the house trim behind it so it doesn't move in the wind. Screen wire bottom with 1/4" x 1/4" mesh supporting it from below and then 1 x 2 around bottom and across the dividers so it's strong yet drains.

I hate tree rats with a passion. Lots of damage to my deck from the little creeps. You are more humane than me. I dispatch them with an air rifle.
My son used to shoot them & my mother in law would use them to season her peas. I learned the hard way to ask what she seasoned her peas with.:oops::LOL:
