Great Mouse Massacre of 2008 (Part 7)

Returned from a night out to find two mice posing for "Still Life With Last Meal" in the neck-snappers. That makes for an impressive grand total of 5 mice in one day (including the two that Kirk ate) ... there really does seem to be an endless supply of them.

Several of the traps had the hardened stale cheese removed from them, so it's time for some re-baiting. Going to try some chocolate in a few traps this time around, and staying with the cheese in the rest ... just to keep them on edge.

And it should be said that baiting and setting a neck-snapper trap is one of the most nerve-wracking exercises possible. I'm a shattered wreck by the time I'm done setting a few of them. You don't believe me, try one sometime. You'll see.

The 1% of the day that he is not in a comatose slumber, Kirk now stands attentively at the last place he saw the mice (evidently his memory's intact), playing the role of our newly recruited sentry.
