Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Here in southeast Iowa, we have a tiny little wasp, a little smaller than a fly, that loves any kind of small hole to fill with it's hardened mud nest. They cause me plenty of problems, especially around carbs!

I know your pain. I'm doing battle with red squirrels* at work.
I spent two days cleaning their "stuff" out of a tool shed,
got it all Popular Mechanics like tidy inside and
now...they're ba-ack!

Trap & drown three, and eight come to the funeral.
Having a few dozen black walnut trees as a food source isn't helping me win the war.

* I generally prefer peaceful coexistence with my fellow critters,
except for red squirrels, as they gnaw their way into wooden buildings,
then gnaw even more wood once inside.

You should've run the bike with them in there. It would have cleaned the carbon out of the combustion chamber.

Can you imagine....
You hear the odd sound one day, get home to inspect...pull the seat and have a critter jump out at you .... after cleaning my shorts out Id be laghing my @$$ off.

Even worse...your riding along and get the waft of BBQ every time you ride
