Now I'm looking for something cheaper and still big enough. It's not easy to find a place like that.

I'm sure it's not Julie, but we all wish you good luck in your search :-)


Thank you Chris:)

Yes, same here Julie, as Chris said.

I have had foxes and raccoons. I also have baby raccoons. It seems that once one of the adult raccoons chased off the fox, she brought 5 babies to the front yard.

Were is Angela? I thought her forum alarm would've alerted her to raccoon activity on the forums :)

She mentioned having a busy schedule for a few weeks. I'm sure she'll visit when she can.

Mine looks different than Steve's.... I must be using the wrong bait.

You should share your bait with me!

We just had two adult raccons and 5 babies at the feeder for quite a while. Eventually the fox showed up, and they all took off. That was so cool, but if I change bait, and sexy women turn up at the feeder, count me in.

The raccoons are really awesome! I will install an infra-red illuminator this week, and turn night into day, only the critters won't see it.

Raccoons are awesome!

You mentioned earlier you were using hotdogs. You're on the right track.

Hi Friends!

Just popping in for a minute while Eric pan-fries some fish for a late dinner here. He's much better at cooking fish than I am.

We have a house guest here for a couple of weeks. One of Eric's colleagues from another university is staying with us so that she and Eric can write up a paper together (non-seti stuff). I won't be around much in July at all, actually, but I'll pop in and say "hi" when I can.

Great raccoon videos, Steve! I showed Eric and he was really impressed.

Bye friends...

Thank you Chris:)

Yes, same here Julie, as Chris said.


Thanx Victor:) I haven't started searching yet. I have to wait until my finances are a bit better. I'm trying to save as much money as I can though.

Yer welcome Julie, yeah I know what that's like, the saving that is, it's not easy, too many competing problems here for the moment.

In the society of today it's hard to save some money. Everything is getting more and more expensive. Just take a loaf of bread for example, I remember the time when it costed only 1 euro and now it is 2,10 euro already.

Here a loaf of bread costs Me $0.99 each and that's the inexpensive bread, which is actually pretty good bread as it's low in calories, 70 a slice.

Quite a variation. I pay £1.30 for a large multi-seed loaf in the local "big chain" supermarket, but the same loaf in the corner shop is about £1.60 to £1.80 (if they bother to get any in that is).

I made progress today on installing my infra-red illuminator. It will take me a couple of days to complete, but here is a picture in the mean time.
