SIEGE AT FORTRESS WORK TABLE

The furnace is repaired and works better than ever. The furnace room is temporarily sealed off from the bedroom. The trap was triggered yesterday afternoon, but there was no sign of the squirrel. There was no more growling or activity. We thought the squirrel had died.

After a quick check this morning, and a prod with a dowel into his last known location, the squirrel responded with a growl. The squirrel is still under the floorboards in his small, nearly inaccessible crawlspace. The Havahart 1030 awaits the squirrel's hunger to bring it forth for the joy of peanuts...

This is way better than daytime television. This squirrel may be related to Rakkety Tam (a warrior squirrel in the "Redwall" series).

You may find this discouraging but if I remember correctly he was never defeated.

You crack me up, Troy! It's fun to see a different side to the guy in the office next door!
