<VV> vermin in Corvair engines

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

JR,
That's why I change it out once a month... it takes almost 3 months for  
then to lose their potency, but down here in "sunny Kaintuck" I don't think  
there's been 3 months of the car sitting in one spell... although that ice 
storm  sure had us hemmed in for a while...
Or were you talking about the "hay" I'm getting ready to hit? Sometimes I  
just don't know about you, JR... you're just too slick for me.
;-)
As for the '64, I don't drive it when there's salt on the roads, and if  
I've been out and it started snowing and they've paved the roads before I've  
gotten home, I make it a point to wash it off ASAP (either at home or at the 
 local car wash).
Squeeky has now developed the habit of sitting on the deck lid when I get  
home... he's a smart cat... Edgar makes it a point to sit under the 
engine...  and Squeeky joins him on rainy days (such as we've had lately)...
Silly cats... but they've kept the squirrels at bay, too.
:-)
Good night all!
Lonzo

Sounds  like nesting material to me, should you forget to change it.

Maybe that  is an offering - to keep them away from the seat cushions?

Later,  JR
