i won't say i didn't down a few mad dogs in college...but then i stopped.
Chipmunks tend to live in groups. You might see one, bet there's a crew.They'll investigate a trap, so no bait is necessary.I have a chipmunk who appears to have taken up residence in my front garden and under the front door slab. So far he has excavated a bit more than half a 5 gallon bucket of chips and dust from under the slab and stonework along the garden
I was able to trap him and relocate. Unfortunately I did not take him far enough away ( 5 miles it seems is the number ), I figured 2 would be enough.
Two days later I look out and see him doing this
Trap has now been sitting for a couple of days open. Just baited it with it still wired open. Will let the little fucker think the free buffet is on then...
This time he will be going with me on my next ride, and he can take up residence at the trail system (27 miles away - find your way home from that ya little bastard.)
I had a colony raising hell in our front yard, so set up a small baitless Havahart trap. Over a week, I caught eleven of the critters, walked them up the road a quarter of a mile, and released them. None have returned.
Interesting....
I was told many moons ago Eastern Chipmunks are solitary except when with young, and they tend to have two litters a year.
Maybe we have a Mom and kits....
Wife and I rode the MTB's for a couple of hours this afternoon. That's five mountain bike rides for me in July...some kind of record or something.
Came to the 100% realization that I am having my other knee replaced in November.
pretty conflicted about everything that entails.

I like to play a few games at work. One is guessing what kind of car people walking in the parking lot will get into. 90% you can guess correctly.
-The blue collar guys roll into a $50K+ truck, with the exception of the young blue collar guys who step into something stanced with at least one body panel with mismatched paint.
-Engineers step into some economy car or crossover SUV.
-Secretaries drive BMWs and Mercedes.
As traffic exits the factory, all the trucks take the exit that goes north, all the cars go south.
The other game is figuring out who people are by the way they walk.
-Although not a majority, dudes who walk with their elbows out to look bigger are always a blue collar guy, and usually a really dumb one, they drive lifted trucks.
-Women born in Asia tend to swing their arms excessively. Those born in the US do not.
That was while working in the factory. Now that I work in a regular office building it is a completely different game. Covid has interrupted my analysis but i can tell if someone has ever worked in the factory or if they have always been desk jockeys by the way they dress.
Who drives a 20 yo VW Beetle with a manual transmission? Asking for a friend.
Someone who fancies a nighttime dogging frolic near Fenway?
No one at my company. We all settle into specific sterotypes that exclude Beetles.
I'll take that as a compliment.
Wife can't operate clutch without knee pain anymore so I drive that chick car. And it's fun.
I drive it's more practical rectilinear brethren. As do many others around here.
Manual of course

Sitting in the camper at the show grounds. I could have driven in the morning but after 5 days in a row of getting up at 4 am and out the door by 4:30 the option of waking up at 6:30 and just having to turn on my walkie talkie at 7am was very appealing. Had Tacos for dinner contemplating some ice cream just now while surfing the web on the laptop.
Interesting observations, though I'd be curious to see how they hold up in other locales. In CO, the male engineers tended towards mid-size pickups, female engineers, the Acura MDX. Like, the Acura MDX was a milestone or something, cause they all had em.
Around here its way more of a mixed bag, but mostly just boring, non-descript vehicles. Camrys, Escapes, nothing remarkable. Im probably the most notable switching between the diesel pickup and 5-speed Fit.
Clothing wise, lemme guess, dudes who have worked in shops wear jeans or Dickies, usually with a flannel in the fall/winter/spring, and some sorta boots. Desk jockeys got their wardrobe from Kohls; Dockers, Van Heusen button downs, and heinous pleather dress shoes. How'd I do?
Second.
Pretty much nailed it.
We do have a fair number of engineers who drive trucks, the difference is they always have stock wheels and tires.
They probably nerd out about OEM forged vs aftermarket cast wheels, and load ratings on tires. Because ya know I do.
I resemble this comment.
but I’m not an engineer, of course.
maybe an engineer of love, baby...
Or an association? The area in our front yard where i had problems remains chipmunk free, but I see them behind the house.
are you enjoying those rides at least? time for that new bike now.
