I don't know if I already shared this:
Dizzy Dunker Bucket Lid Mouse Trap | Made in USA | Multi Catch | Humane | Indoor/Outdoor.
YouTube recommended it and I liked the idea.
The biggest complaints were that it came apart too easily (and it totally does!) and that it doesn't come with the clear 5-gallon bucket depicted in the video:
The video also says they designed it to pack flat.
If you design a fully-functioning 5-gallon bucket that folds flat, I will beat a path to your door.
I asked where to buy a clear bucket like the one depicted in the video and someone said to just check my local stores (I did!), but I can totally use an opaque bucket, I just need to actually check frequently to see if I caught something--it is a design flaw.
I liberally applied gorilla glue, so it may not come apart easily, but at least it won't come apart easily!
The inventor also released this video:
He stated that 1/100 mice escaped because there was a little ledge around the top.
Someone recommended removing that and I wanted to grind it off, but who has the time?
Of course, my high-maintenance family delayed me driving up.
I hoped to grab as much of my stuff as I could without Mom wasting my time, cleaning the carpet, and maybe working just a little on the 2002 Civic, but I kept hearing mice, they got into a bunch of stuff, and I saw a few.
At one point I heard mice from 3 different directions.
One was in the corner cabinet, so I put on my gloves, and pulled out everything.
Apparently, the mouse is under the cabinet, but it had gotten into a bunch of Mom's food, so I threw out everything that was open, and put everything that looked untouched and the bowls and stuff in 100-quart tubs Mom left in the garage.
I took all of the untouched food from the rest of the cabinets and the wire rack shelves I bought and put those in 2 more 100-quart tubs.
Mom and my sister say to just throw away everything.
What about the 3 freezers full of meat?
Someone recommended donating it to animal shelters, but how long would that take?
How much would each shelter accept?
Mom and my brother usually remember to put out the garbage cans, but they didn't this week, so we are going to have problems before the week is over, on top of 300 quarts of dry food, and 3 freezers full of meat in Show Low.
Anyway, I found my brother's 7" Samsung tablet and a white LG phone.
I got the Samsung to connect to the wifi.
It may have just been Mom's router, I had devices that wouldn't connect, but would access my desktop's hotspot.
However, I cannot log into Google so I can install any apps, although YouTube works.
I am sure that I could find a super-long playlist, but I found this, so I will try it out once this video ends:
The same password worked on the LG phone, although I couldn't hear the local Classical station, the one in Flagstaff, and I needed to install Listen.In or something for the Tucson station, it doesn't have its own app.
That advertised a Christmas station, so I listened to carols for a few days until this morning!
[ominous music]
When I woke up it wasn't playing and it was down to 23% despite being plugged in all night and it saying it was charging.
I started the music again and the charge started going down despite saying it was charging, so maybe the phone with the button on the back isn't working.
