Fuggin rodents! 🖕

Finally done! After some parts delays the shop got everything back together and it's running great.

The bill could have been a lot worse I guess...

Ugh, that sucks big time. I had a mouse chew a harness on the C5. Didn't want to have multiple splices so I just got a new harness.

$43/hr labor is a steal. I understand it's probably not their top tech doing this type of work, but wow. Where are you?

I would have shipped you Fuzzball for less than half that amount, and you could have avoided the whole thing.

How does that stuff work? Do you need to tape all of the harnesses, or just create some sort of barrier?

Pest control company Terminix considers the temptations of tasty materials to be a myth, and instead, it blames rodent biology and their need to constantly chew, thereby preventing their teeth from growing too long. It turns out that feasting on cars is more prevalent than you might think."

WE feed three stray cats outside here, and even put out cardboard boxes with towels for sleeping, under cover of course......and our last house cat has I/O doors to use as he sees fit.....so no trees rats or any other type class 'rodentia' hanging around......2 of the cats are rather large really fuzzy, and well fed.....
