Ha Ha that is a funny post and I like the cop too. I have had those and think seriously what on earth are you doing and then found out it was for something else but he still didnt have to be an ass about it.

Nice pic and glad it didnt cost you too much

You just killed me with this one, Mark Donn.....The Elk, the cop, Rain, the mice and the peppermint and another item we won't mention.  I would love to attend a Meet up with you!

Well I'm glad you got a free picture of the elk. I guess the trooper was just trying to get him off the road? 

Thanks for the peppermint oil trick, Mark. You never know when that might come in useful. 

ROFLMAO  Oh my I had no idea what I was getting you into.  Glad the cop blared the elk away from the highway so someone didn't hit it but timing couldn't have been better on that one. By the way did I forget to mention to wear gloves or wash your hands many many many times.  

I needed that laugh Mark, thanks, can't say I've been there and done that, not with pepermint oil or ben gay, cheap cologna yes. There is a North Dakota product for those mice that is now sold nationally. I think you can get it at Ace Hardware. It's called "Fresh Cab" rodent repellent. A farmers wife came up with it to keep mice out of the tractor cab.

Good story about the cop and the elk.  Please, will you let us know about your results with the mice and the peppermint oil?  About the peppermint oil and washing your hands, I thought guys washed their hands before AND after going to the bathroom.  

Man you can't even catch a break.  Just trying to take a picture and someone has to come along and photo bomb the shot.  

I may invest in a truck load of this oil for may campers and cabins, and thanks for sharing the warning about the hand washing.
