I know this sounds whacky, but I'm asking y'all to notify me if you find anywhere which sells bags of whole walnuts in the shell.

Stop & Shop quits selling them in the early Fall. If you come across anyplace which still sells them, please tell me. No need to buy them ~ I'll go get them myself. I just need to know where.

Thanks
Frank

(PS ~ Wild Bill, Reverend, Thor and King, no need to respond! I need someplace within driving distance! )

Okay, Frank,
I can tell you have something up your sleeve other than your arm.
Was ist los mit der Walnussen?
Mouse bait for the winter?
~Rick~

Nein.

The squirrels in my yard are threatening to mutiny if I don't come up with some more walnuts for the winter.

I've got 8 of them (all named) who kind of depend on me for breakfast every day. You really don't want to see them angry all together. It's not a pretty sight.

Stop & Shop let me down right when I needed them most.

8 squirrels is enough to feed a family of four. Just sayin.....

Yeah, been there, tried that ~ my girls won't touch them. They get all cutesy and "Ewwww-y".
About the first time I find one in the garage or anywhere near the Z this issue will be resolved with extreme prejudice. Until then please keep yr eyes open for those walnuts.

(And by the way Marc, that 1600 is now in Rick's shed, waiting for HIM to get at it).

Frank...the orange z is now in my garage, too. I drove it in....it only took about five minutes to get the brake unstuck and get it started. It still runs fine.It will be ready for removal soon; I have more parts to get out. I also have another truckload of partz getting ready to go, including that EFI system and an entire front end/crossmember assembly.
Back in Iowa,people fed squirrels cow corn on the cob. They hung the cobs from chains and the squirrels would pull the cob up by the chain, or hang by their back feet, to get to the cobs. Was very cute. Corn fed squirrels have better flavor than nut fed ones. You get people to eat squirrel by telling them they are pheasants or "wild chickens".

Yeah, they make easy targets while they're hanging upside down like that.

I generally like them stewed. Potatoes, celery, onions, carrots, salt and maybe a little bullion thrown in if I have it. It's delicious.

The girls said they might have tried it if I had removed the heads first.

OooRah!

Speaking of mouse bait.
I saw a mouse in the Z shed yesterday, so it's time for ACTION!
Those two cats that prowl around our neighborhood are getting pretty
LAX in their duties.

Is it better to use the spring-loaded mouse traps or those little boxes
of stuff like D-Con? And if the former, what is the best bait? I think
it was Dave Cerutti who once suggested peanut butter. Anything else?
I mean something that really WORKS?

And how about the enclosed trailer. Can mice get in? Thinking like a
mouse, I would have to climb a tire, go thru a complicated labyrinth of
wheel rim and suspension, walk upside down, cling to a slick aluminum
surface while trying to find a place of access, then figuring out how to get
inside while still slipping and sliding. I guess I would be a homeless,
hungry mouse. If I were a smart mouse I would try an easier place.

Helllllllllppppppp!....................Kathy & Rick

Rick, with all the goodies you have at stake, you can't afford to have your protection fail. Why risk failure? Blanket-bomb the entire area with every type of trap you can afford.

If you try everything else and still have mice, you can resort to the HEMMINGS guaranteed two-brick mouse killer, but I would leave that as my last resort.
