We had a guy at our shop last year who kept leaving fast food bags in his van. Took out the entire wiring harness behind the dashboard, cost over two grand to fix. What's the worst damage you've actually seen from mice or rats, like did they go for a specific part like the engine wiring or the cabin fuse box?

Ugh, supply chain issues are the worst. A month without coal? That's brutal for shoeing work. Turning down jobs because of shipping delays feels so unfair. It's scary how reliant we are on outside stuff. Switching to propane sounds like a huge hassle with new gear. Really hope you find a good workaround soon.

Yikes, that sounds scary! I'm really glad you had your gloves on and didn't get hurt. Stuff like that can shake you up bad, even if nothing happens. For checking pressure, I always try to crack a valve or fitting open slowly first, just to be sure. It's a good habit to get into, idk, maybe it's just me but I double-check everything twice now.

Ugh, the "unused membership cards" thing is too real. I signed up for that fancy gym by my office last January, swore I'd go at lunch. Went like four times. Now my running shoes are still in the box and I feel a little pang of guilt every month when the charge hits my bank account. Yep, my collection is growing.
