[HAM] Critters(mice)

[Tim Stoel]

I picked up a beautiful A-105 out of an abandoned house.  I put it in my trailer and drove 3 hours down the freeway with it.  Unloaded it in the driveway and started to clean it up.  Opened the back.  There were two sets of eyes looking back at me -- two small mice!!  Ugly, scrawny ones too yet.  They had a nest between the generator and the front of the organ.  This might make me sound stupid but it took about an hour to get them out!  I tried sticks, compressed air, a broom, the vaccuum, and a feather duster, but finally patience and some chesse did the trick!  They were hungry!

  Years ago I moved a B3 for a guy -- I needed the money. When I picked 
up the organ, the house was roach infested. I put the instrument and 
Leslie in my '66 Ford SuperVan, parked it in my driveway and set-off 2 
of those insecticide bombs in the truck. Let it sit for 2 days then 
delivered the organ. Yuck! (Took the van to a quarter car was and 
flushed it).
