Default F! There's always Two...

_Centipedes that is...Sitting in my carport this morning just before light and saw some movement heading towards my car, CENTIPEDE (4"). I grabbed my flash light and the battery died as soon as I turned it on. I know he ran up my drivers wheel and is now camping out somewhere.
I also know there's always two, and sure enough here comes the other one from another direction and under my car before I could get it.
So I now have two of these little bastards hiding somewhere in my wheel well.

Welp, glad you had a fun time with your car, Bill! Time to say goodbye.






I always knew there was a downside to living in Hawaii

On a related note, I opened the garage door today and a chipmunk ran in. And of course did not run out. I could not find him. If the little critter finds the giant Costco bag of bird seed we will never get rid of it...

Take car out. Get it into 5th gear as long as you can and maybe they will bail.

Nothing a little skidpad practice wouldn't fix.
