So remote controlled mowers and painting drones then.

I don't own any Apple products, so I guess I'll pass.

Speaking of squirrels

We seem to have an infestation of Humming Squirrels. How that little fell'r could climb a 5/8" steel rod is amazing to me but thar it is.

The squirrel did not respond to strong verbal admonishments from my wife to cease and desist. Similar admonishments would cause me to get the Hell out of Dodge in a hurry.

So, to save the day, I crafted a shield out of 0.025" aluminum which, by the way, has gotten crazy expensive at Lowes: Almost $30 for a 12"x18" sheet.

So far, the shield has worked. We have observed the squirrel using advanced trigonometry techniques trying to figure out how to thwart the shield but to no avail. At this point, we have the upper hand but that could change. I'll you all posted. And I don't know why my pictures post sideways.. Apologies.

Are you suggesting that squirrels climbing up the oil pick up is causing loss of oil pressure in long right sweepers? This hypothesis will require more investigation.
