In an attempt to get the automotive portion of my life into some kind of order I have the goal of making sure all my cars (well most) are licensed and road ready so that they may be driven, sold or used offensively against the coming zombie hordes.
On Sunday I left my basement bunker to check on my cars that have been stored off site and make a list of necessary repairs and maintenance.
Leaving my house in the Seville a black squirrel darted across the road stopping right in the middle. I braked and gave it a moment to decide that the other side was a safer place for he and his nuts.
Good news was my Corvette, taking up space in my mother’s garage (THANKS MOM!) started right up after putting the battery on charge, no seized brakes, no evidence of mice etc. yeah! Drove her around the block.
The 76 T-Bird was not so lucky, upon opening the hood, the new and expensive underhood sound deadening pad I installed last year had been eaten and torn up to make a squirrel nest….acorns being much in evidence. After cleaning out the engine bay she started up fine. I seem to have caught the evil creature early before it did more serious damage.
Last time I brake for squirrels….you have been warned you little tree rats…
Black and white outfit was what I wore today to a networking session.

Wow, you look amazing! : )
ReplyDeleteThank you I am blushing :)
ReplyDeletePlus 1 with Natalya. You look stunning in that pic.
ReplyDeleteI understand your squirrel woe. Mice ate one of my HT leads a while back. And I haven't started on the 'wasp nest behind fuel tank' rant.
ReplyDeleteGlad all started OK.
You look great!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful
ReplyDeletefirst i loooove the outfit!
ReplyDelete(not my first choice for changing car oil though LOL)
in my case it seems i am always battling the mice! i now higher an exterminator 2x a year. he has the latest industrial strength stuff to keep them at bay. and he is one of the most reasonable in the business. and doesn't chince on the products he uses!
my attitude is there is a whole world to go play in but if the critters insist upon playing in the storage areas with gasoline, oil and antifreeze that was their choice!
Love the outfit, it is criminal to look that good!
ReplyDeleteThere are sonic devices which keep out critters, a friend uses one and her neighbour wonders why all his leads are being chewed but not hers...
looking awesome!
