Is that illegal? Some birdshot and bye bye raccoon.
First, where are they foraging? If it's your trash, you need to clean the trash containers and mask the food smelling bags better. If it's the lawn, you can try some hot pepper stuff, hot sauce, etc. And if it's anywhere else, it's because they know there is a food source in the area, so it might be a bigger issue, or a fact of life if you have a pond nearby.

Well I had a bonfire the other night and he was prowling on my roof. Today I saw him in my garage - where I do keep my garbage cans.

Yeh - you're a better man than me. If I only saw one prowling around, I'd definitely load a cheap cut of meat with some poison in a place i've seen it.

I had raccoons once, and they don't care where your garbage is. If they smell the trash, they will mark your house for a source of food. It's good you just saw one, because if you do nothing, then you'll have like 4 in a few weeks.
I just cleaned the hell out of my can and they went elsewhere. Unless you want to set traps, there isn't a whole lot more you can do.

Picked up another long term project lol (02 Camaro SS/M6). Just trying to fix all the bs that goes bad on a 12 year old car. The factory center mount exhaust was all busted up and oxidized so I gave it a little love. Replaced the perfectly good rear tires and put in a monster clutch.
Progress on the other thing. Diffuser and track wing on for mock up.. It will have a less ridiculous spoiler for regular driving. There isn't much left to do on the rear of the car so the body is finally getting put in place for body work. I still have to completely redo a lot of structural in the front.

Hey Matt, is this going to be a street car or a track project?
I'm curious, because I can't seem to find a single fuel cell bladder that allows drain-less use of pumpgas/E15+(and doesn't last just 4 years before leaking like a fuel safe).
I'm thinking that this is impossible, and it's back to building a standard 7075 tank from sheet. But I could be wrong.

Honestly, I have zero experience with them.
I don't like making tanks in anything thinner than 3/16".
What's it going in?

I just finished painting every piece of wood on the house that wasnt a log
I planted some plants that the harsh winter(for NC) killed...Thanks to global warming and Al Gore..lol
I cut 3 trees down and have to split them for firewood (next in line)
I hauled in 200 bags of mulch and spread em
To do yet
Paint one of the bays in my garage
Knock the wall down between my office and a storage room and make 1 huge room out of 2. Also,install a shower in the room.. ...Finish said room
Replace a panel on one of the garage doors as it is failed
and yet I still find time to come in here and spread joy!

Yes...but not as convenient
1..with loose mulch there is a possibility of bringing in termites..With bags, it gets so hot in the bag, the heat kills em
2..I live in the Mts, and there are a lot of stone stairs to the various places I need mulch..With loose mulch and a wheelbarrow, I would have to erect ramps..Thats more work..With bags, I throw 1 over each shoulder and away I go
3..There is a guy who comes with a huge truck and a blower..he will blow mulch where ever you want it at. The problem there is he is extremely expensive..The truck and blower costs half a mil, and he has to recoup that..
So, I'm stuck with bags...lol
