Dang! And a happy new year... more rodent damage?.or is that a roof leak?
Barry @Wildthings sending positive vibrations and good mojo coming your way! Looks like a leak in a plumbing pipe and not from the roof? I know it is easier said than done- but hang in there as it could have been worst and at least you were around (not on a trip) and was able to catch it.

It hasn't rain in a week here so expecting more rodent damage. What's crazy is all three leaks have been on the supply PEX pipe going to an exterior spigot. I walked around the attic today looking at all the exposed piping I could get to and didn't see any rodent damage to any of them. Also set traps and sticky stuff
That room is upstairs, and I venture seldom there. My granddaughter had a NY eve party here and her and her best friend spent the night afterwards. They found it. I probably would not have found it till it started showing up downstairs in the formal dining. So that's a little good mojo. I'm good and thanks for the positive encouragement
Makes me think temperature may be involved. Those faucets would transfer heat or cold possibly making the pex more attractive to the rodents due to its differing temperature. Either way the little buggers gots to go!
Beautiful, but cold, sunset tonight.
Dog dreams of flight...
...and daughters dream of driving, though a few years early.
Beautiful colors on those squirrels. Nice portraits too.
No snow, just a frosty morning
That's so fascinating when the frost grows into those long needles like that.
Looking west to Pikes Peak in the distance from about one mile west of I-25 and Rockrimmon Blvd...summer of 2021.
Saw this a while ago. About 20 minutes from where I used to live
That's what Rabbit Ears Pass, Colo. looks like pretty much every winter.
Nice eagle sitings. There was an article in the paper today that said researchers had been testing eagles since 2010 and found almost 60% had some level of lead poisoning. Sounded high to me but that's what it said. Bald eagles are primarily carrion scavengers so I guess they'd be feeding on injured ducks and stuff that flew far enough away to not be retrievable.
But almost all duck hunting is now done with steel shot. So out goes that theory
Them eagles must be licking the paint at Grandma's house......
The 60% does seem high. Steel shot for water fowl has been a federal law for 20 or so years. I can see them getting lead from many animals that are shot and discarded as well as those used. Are they testing hawks to see if similar is happening with them? Granted, most hawks hunt more than they scavenge.
