Amazing weather so I head to Jacksonville on I-95. Yesterday I was up in Savannah. I am on the gas pretty heavy most of the way. A few short burst up to 105. Get below Jax and up past my wipers along the seam of the hood I see something that doesn't look right. Then a second later it is gone. I pull over and raise the hood and it is a friggin rat. What I saw was his tail. He is not in plain view to whack with anything so I go to the trunk to find something to motivate the bastard to relocate and he crawls downward where I can't get to him.
I think that there is no way he can stand it there when I park because that V8 was slightly warm. I had a rat screw up my vacuum system on my van years ago. I don't think there is anyway this guy could of stayed there after I parked. If he got out, he is either living in the Victoria Secrets Dumpster or The Apple Computer store's. He's a lot luckier than the snake

I don't get it, you kill the snakes that feed on mice and rats and then complain about it when you find a critter crawling up your hood...what's wrong with you?

What is it I said? Why have they left you on the computer this late? You have 2 snakes and two rats in all of Illinois?

Guy, I am on about 6 acres of wooded land and lake behind my house. Their were probably less people on the short bus you rode to school then their are snakes, bugs and various other rodents on my land. That is the way it is here and a zillion other places if you get out and travel. I am glad in a way or we would be up to our asses in Yankees. Try re-reading my post before you read it from now on.

The problem is that people stuff the sorry cats with too much food nowadays. Their completely worthless. I have no use for a friggen cat that hasn't gotten a meal or two out of a garbage can or their face scratch up in a few fights. A cat missing a tail or half a leg is a cat that deserves respect. The rest are worthless. Just fuss balls that people keep around because a dog would run away.

That's why you have to keep the snakes around!
As a kid I used to go by the railroad tracks and lift boulders to find snakes burrowed underneath and catch them ,then bring them home and toss em in mom's garden...kept all the pesky rodents away....

Damn cats. I don't know why there isn't a leash law on cats around here.
My neighbor feeds every one of the sobs that come along and they come over here and crap in my back yard or my garden. I trying to keep'm under control with my bb pistol but I'm losing the battle.

Poor rat probably figured a brother wouldn't mind giving him a ride to Savannah. :D :D :D
Talking about getting out and traveling the world------- are you going to the Convention this year. It is in Rebel country. Selfemployed is going to give me lessons in speaking southern when I get to Winston-Salem. I'll fit right in when I'm your neighbor. Can I scuba dive in OUR lake?:confused: :confused:

Hell ya, last fall my brand new Toyota Tundra started to run real bad, actually it just barely ran. I took it in for service and got a call an hour later telling me that a rat had made a nest on the intake manifold and chewed through some wires. It ended up costing me 300+ $ because they had to cut the wires back and put a new plug on and to do that they needed to remove the manifold. I couldnt beleive it, I insisted on seeing it for my self before they moved on the repair. They actually gave me some good advice and its worked thus far, they told me to spray bare piss on my tires. So I actually found bare piss in spray bottle and sprayed it on my tires. who'd a thought you could buy bare piss in spray bottle to keep away rodents?! I should start to market my piss, to keep away blood sucking suburben white girls!
:rolleyes:
