It’s a Two’fer . . .
But wait, there’s more.
When I got up this morning I found two more mousies in my traps. Didn’t realized I was hosting a whole village in here.
Then a little later I was back in the bedroom and heard Jan scream. Running out, I found her pointing at the bottom drawer of the cabinet under the stove and yelling “Mouse, Mouse”. If there had been a chair nearby, she would have jumped on it.
So it turns out we have at least 5 visitors.
A little after 1pm I went over to Nick and Terry’s rig to install the new part in Terry’s washer. As I figured, it only took about 15 minutes to get the new part installed and checked out, but another hour to get it all put back together and finished up.
The last thing was to go outside and pull the dryer vent hose out through the sidewall of the rig and lock it down.
Getting back to the rig, I took up all the traps and rebaited them, with cheese this time. But while I had the entrance to the access area still open, I heard a noise inside the cabinet, and looking in, I saw Mister back in there checking things out. I was kind of hoping he’d find something, but no luck this time.
Finally getting Mister to come out, I put the traps back out, with one of them in the drawer this time.
About 5:45pm Nick, Terry, Jan, and I, along with Tom and Barb Westerfield, drove up Houghton Rd to eat again at Luckie’s Thai, our favorite local Chinese place, and one of our all-time favorites anywhere.
And Tom and Barb actually had Thai. But the rest of us ate from the Chinese side of the menu. And if anything, it was better tonight than last time. And of course we had plenty of leftovers, so lunch tomorrow will be great too.
Getting home around 7pm, I checked my trapline and found I’d bagged another one.
Don’t know if it’s the same one Jan saw this afternoon, but that’s a total of five now.
I think I need to throw Mister back in there again. Make him earn his keep.

Well, when I got up this morning I found another toes-up mousy residing in one of my traps. The two traps in the slide-out pantry area were still baited and set, but the two in the area behind the cabinets had been hit.
One trap had been stripped of peanut butter, but was still set. The other one had also been emptied, but was now occupied. So I rebaited them both and put them back in place. We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
About 10:30 one of the park hosts showed up with the part for Nick and Terry’s dryer. Should only take about about 15 minutes to install the part, but probably another hour to get it checked out, buttoned up, and back in the cabinet. We’ll finish it up tomorrow.
It did get down to about 30 degrees here last night, but no problems came with it. It’s supposed to be in the high 30’s tonight, and then start gradually warming up through the rest of the week. Looks like it should be pretty nice with no rain before we leave on Sunday.
Hope so.
Later in the afternoon, I pulled everything out from under the sink and installed the new water filter that I bought in Yuma. The water flow is much better now, thought it doesn’t seem to taste any better or worse.
Jan had been under the weather the last couple of days with one of her migraine clusters. They normally run for about 3 days, and she discovered this morning that she was out of her Sumatriptan migraine medicine, so, about 4:30, and feeling better, Jan and I headed out to pick up the prescription I had called into a Wal-Mart Pharmacy earlier.
On the way, we first stopped off for dinner at Poco & Mom’s with some Hatch Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas for me and Ground Beef Nachos for Jan. And as usual we had plenty of leftovers for later lunches. Hmmm Good!
After dinner, and picking up Jan’s prescription, we headed home with a quick stop at DQ for dessert, and tired of his sniveling about the lack of DQ visits, a chocolate milkshake for Nick.
The things I do.
