33°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 61° today. Looks like we're in for a little rain tomorrow.
We have two inside cats. One is a mouser, the other is not. They had both alerted us that there was a critter trying to get in, and we'd both heard it in quiet moments. We've had traps set both in the house and along the adjoining wall in the garage, the old-type Victor, using peanut butter as bait. No hits on those, unfortunately. Mice are a regular problem this time of year. We've never had one get this destructive, though.
I've lost a tube guitar amp, a digital effects processor, and a couple of electronic pedals. The amp wasn't cheap, and it's not replaceable as that company went out of business a few years ago (it's a Carvin V3MC three-channel combo, and was the very last one they made). The Digitech RP-7 processor was bought used on eBay about 15 years ago, and wasn't being used anymore. My Jackson guitar got wet, but seems OK so far. Dried it out as fast as I could, but time will tell there. It's one of my favorite guitars. My Anton Krutz upright bass also got a little wet, but none got inside.
I was telling The Wife that I'd been thinking about selling that amp for awhile, but had just earlier that week decided to go ahead and keep it. Funny how that works, huh.
A few months before I got married, Don, I had a drain backup in the basement of my house, and came home one day to 28 inches of water in the basement. Lost a lot of music equipment that day, as well as the HVAC and water heater. Some of the electronics I thought I had saved ended up dying a slow corrosion death, including my beloved Pearce bass preamp. That's part of what makes this so painful, is knowing that I don't know what else will perish over time.
So it goes.
Happy Birthday to your wife, Phil.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve to our US members.

Being that distructive around here I would blame a red squirrel, they are not much bigger then mice in body diameter just longer and are very destructive.

Up late, feeling about the same. Was up in the night some.
I’m sad I won’t be able to go to Ohio for thanksgiving. I haven’t seen dad in awhile, but also will miss seeing other family also, like nephews family. Only 1 of my 3 brothers, and 1 of 2 remaining sister will be there.
My son is coming up from TN, but has to wait for a delivery before he can leave. I doubt he makes it half way tonight. I’m figure the order won’t arrive today anyways and it will come Friday.

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 7:00AM.
Plenty of sunshine. High 72F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Always PB in the snap traps around here. I keep one in the truck, too, and should add one in the van...
I once dropped a cell phone in the toilet, and resurrected it by placing it in a zip loc bag with a fair amount of rice inside. That was left on the dash of my truck sitting outside in the sun. Hope you don't need that trick, Paul.
Lots of us love to see pics of hotrods (and motorcycles) here, scootr. Post away!
While going through "motion events" from the security cams yesterday I found this:
I've only ever seen them once, and that was miles away from here. Not sure if I'm happy to see them, as their teeth are very sharp and most of the outdoor plumbing is PVC...
The apple crumble turned out to be very good, but not sure about the whisky-cream stuff to be poured over the top. Took twice as many apples as called for to fill my pan, but now we have more to enjoy. Still need to bake a pie, and not sure whether to do that today or early tomorrow morning. Still have plenty of Granny Smith apples.
Took a hike down to the lake yesterday, and even made the loop by the old cement kiln. Quite a bit of the blow down that blocked the road/trail last time was gone, but we still did some climbing and ducking to get through. The Oroville lake level is still about 35 feet higher than when we walked the bed last year, but there are a lot of sand bars showing already.
Nice sunset last night, then a simple chili dinner.
Happy Hump Day, folks!

It is funny that we are still using the alligator expression for the disease that we are not allowed to talk about. Don started that didn't he?

Good trip to town. Ended up having breakfast with wife at a place we haven’t eaten at in years.
Grass dried enough to mow the dogs area. I’m sure they will be happy. It was really thick and tall.
Got another lockset changed out.
Dennis, sounds like you are slowly getting better.
