Or you could just play Grand Theft Auto for 12 hours

Just get 4-5 stars and see where it goes.

I am planning a 4 day trip Memorial Day weekend. I have awl the logistics set in motion and plans made... except for one thing:


Marmot deterrent.

I've read a few different methods to do this, and since it will be early season they'll be out in force. How'd you do it? I've seen everything from tarping the bottom of your vehicle to surrounding your vehicle in chicken wire, a combination of the two, and even adding coyote urine and mothballs. Leaving your hood open is another method too...

Just looking for opinions/what people did.

Apparently my 11 yo is considered "dreamy."

Don't know wether to be proud or scared.

Course my dream is that can stay focused on his homework and chores and not distracted by shinny objects.

I would guess my boss would say the same about me some days.

The focus part that is.

awesome.

Nothing.
Absolutly nothing.
Both times I was there they gave us the marmut rundown, "check your hoses before you leave." But never had a problem. Of course this was in the 90-95 time frame. So, I am afraid I am of no help again.
So this raises a question, has anyone ever had their hoses attacked by Marmuts? Does anyone personally seen or know someone who has? I've only ever heard stories spread around. Like momma bear sending the cubs up the cables to get the food. or the raid can wrapped in bacon. Seams to be urban lengend????
However, I have heard dryer sheets keeps the rats/mice out of the engine compartment. Might try that.
But otherwise, does anyone have any first hand experience with the notorious marmut?
Good luck.

damn busy lately. this week sitting in on some art classes to see if I want to take the course next year. here in brasil they have bachelors, masters, phds, etc., but they also have something in between a bachelors and masters called a specialization. it's a cheap way to get a post-graduate degree / certification / diploma / whatever you want to call it. anyway, it was all theory last night. kind of boring if you ask me, but maybe it's something i need to do.

went on a long hilly run/hike this weekend.

and this weekend we are heading up to shastac

so busy!

In my experience, if the art speaks for itself then no one cares about your degree. It will take a ton of sales to reach a point of positive returns. If, however, you need certain courses to advance your craft, then just take those.

I was at my mechanics yesterday, and turns out my dad had showed him some pics of my work. The mechanics son had just graduated from the North Bennett Street School, which is the school for learning furniture making in the US. When the mechanic dropped my name, his son said, "OMG, you work on Loran Smith's truck?"

I am 100% self taught, BTW.

this place is dead

*crickets*

not just this thread

I wonder how the traffic numbers look. These guys have to be itching to let this place die at some point.

when i randomly check who's on line, it's amazing how low the numbers are. when i joined this place was very busy, especially at night. i'm sure sites like Facebook have contributed to low numbers.
