I'm thinking about making a bucket trap. Simple bucket filled with water and a rod across the top with a bottle on it.

I had a rat problem last fall. Had to bring out the rodent cage. After a few weeks finally caught preggo mom rat and they seemed to bail out since then. Annoying they went so close to the connector. Could of soldered it if you had more wire

I'm sure I could have fixed it but maybe they'll warranty or maybe there's more damage that I can't see. I don't have the time to work on it right now.

Soooooo, I found out yesterday by one of my co-workers who works in shipping that the shipping mgr didn't like my co-workers face mask because it had the American flag on it. The whole face mask is the American flag.

Anyways, my co-worker proceeds to tell me that his shipping mgr said, "it's too 'patriotic', it's offensive to other people, not everybody is an 'American'..."

I told my co-worker, "WTF??? Seriously??? I guess I'll have to fly my flag tomorrow since we have Friday OFF!!!" ;)

This picture was taken this morning about 6am. July 2, 2020.

Sooooo, where my assigned parking is, my truck is directly parked out the bay door. As you look out the bay door, you/he will see the American flag and THAT is my BIG FUCK YOU to him!!! :thumbsup::humble:

I had rats at my old house in La Tuna Canyon. Opened the hood to my truck one day and had footprints on everything. That's where I draw the line.lol. Went and bought some sticky traps and put maple syrup on them. I was beating rats with a shovel shortly after.lol.

this isn't the first 'wtf company' story. I'm gonna say first chance you should look for a better place. life is too short to tolerate bullshit unless absolutely necessary.

a very wise sage once told me. Don't think of a job as an obligation. Think of it as your employee. The job works for you and when it doesn't you hire another job and fire the one that doesn't work. Blew my mind, I quit my old job, went to school again and I am now self-employed and loving it. My new boss though can be a real jerk with the Saturday work. (wife's honey do list)

edit: missed/screwed up important takeaway. If your job is no longer providing the lifestyle or necessities you and your family deserve, then it's time to fire the job and get one that will.

There's a lot to be said about job satisfaction outside of financial ncompensation. Cy Swan (blacksmith, knife maker, everyone's badass Grandpa) quit a job to make 5x less but he loved the cowboy life. Be honest and kind to yourself. You'll think differently about the ones working with and against you.

Why is it that things like this never happed to me. Never such a thing as to patriotic. There is such a thing a to sensitive and those pussies need to grow a pair. All my masks are variations of the American flag blacked out, all white, blue line, green line, red line, Gadsden flag. You should pull the same stunt on 5 de Mayo. “ hey that Mexican flag is offensive and I am not Mexican “
