Do not try to repair
No wonder we don’t equip our soldiers with plastic spring loaded arms. The squirrel chaser we purchased online arrived earlier this week, and broke on the first test. Hard to get beyond that point. Of course, the instructions were clear. Do not try to repair. Do not return to the point of purchase. In other words, thank you for contributing to our bottom line. Signed: Airsoft.
Given that the mechanism came with a whole set of screws, and given that I collect screwdrivers, I decided to disobey the first instruction. Two hours later, I understand the internal design. No, I did not succeed in my repair. There is tomorrow, of course. Perhaps with a good night of repose, I will have an insight that permits the “never used” to move into the realm of “well, that works”. Or maybe not.
In any case, the seed thieves can relax, for now.
My Plex success was short-lived. Today, the application cannot find the server. Been here before.
A day of steady rainfall has erased much of the snow cover. The seed beds; that might take another few days, but the back yard is visible. Going to require some new growth before I use the word “lawn” as a descriptor. The rabbit(s) are back around. There was a serious fear that the species might have moved on, but I know better. Warm burrows and cold winds keep bunnies away from our cameras. That’s all. As the warmer weather arrives, we should see all sorts of fauna. It’s the countryside, after all.
