I can see this is going to take 2 coats. I'll post pics when I get a good portion done.

For sure!

Blue Meanie will be there with his ding, scratched wheel, pitted windshield, chipped bonnet and all. But hey, it's for charity, right?

so i tried out my f-day gift just to make sure it fits correctly (wink wink).
the pilot's. i likes. this is the griot's version red/black, forgot the
name of the shoes. they included the slip-on elastic laces with the quick
lock thingie and also the regular red laces. this is nice cause i usually just
slip on my shoes and dont like tightening them each time.

2 more weeks until i get to try them out on my G and MCS.

not sure about chipmunks, but it works on skunks, dogs, cats, and
other smaller rodents.

Oh. I thought the mothballs would just deter the critters from digging. Does it actually poison/kill the critters?

The ingestion of one mothball by a dog(or any other animal) can lead to kidney failure, coma & death

And I'm not pulling this out of my rear. Remember, I'm a nurse & little bro(poyzin) works for Denver Poison Center.

But Black Wow just made Sadie's whiskers soft when she ingested the small sample bottle that Richard sent. So go ahead & put it down in your garden:l ol:

the smell of mothballs is strong enough to deter them. ive yet to hear
one actually ingesting one... there are other poisons available
that smell like food. those kill. those i dont use.

We had a large black rat snake living in the yard somewhere for a time (we saw the occassional skin lying around); no burrowing critters then. It seems to have moved away and now the chipmunks are having a fiesta.

I just Dysoned my house and did every last stitch of laundry except what's on my body.

AND my box of Griot's stuff from OutMotoring came. AND my new lower grilles, which I am still not 100% sure I'm going to like but I'm going to try it out.

BZZZZ! Try again.



I got the monster waffle-weave with the big pockets on the ends, and based on your pan of the MF pads, I got a set of them not because you hated them, but because they are so big...I wanted a really big something to wash with. They're perfect!

You're going to L O V E Griot's waffle weave drying towels. I love having the pockets in the ends and they're big enough to dry an entire MINI with one towel. I have four of those.
