I'm terrified of mice and their bigger cousins, rats. They are right up there with snakes and spiders. I've had run ins with them my whole life. Had one rat that even tried to attack me. Of course he was high on Eagle 7 at the time.

I had some acorn capsules siting on my work bench due to capping some product. Had them all together in a neat little pile. Had a 1/2 full box of capped stuff sitting next to them. I kept noticing one capsule would be out of place when I would come in and turn the lights on. This went on for about a week.

I finished a couple of Oak machines last week and Saturday morning was getting them ready to take with me locating. I was going to put Treasure mix in one of them, so grabbed the box that was sitting on my bench.

When I poured the capsules in the machine something looked funny. I reached my hand in to the globe to grab whatever it was and then I saw him (or her). I just about crapped right there. I let out a girlie scream and jumped back.

After regaining my composure(and looking out at the street to make sure nobody saw me),I took the hopper and globe off and took it out in the yard and dumped it all out. After scooting the mouse a good distance away, I picked all the capsules up.

I set those capsules and globe to the side and used some others. I'm setting some mouse traps today.
