Tweeter Tag

Daily Photo

After typing the title of my blog, I had to chuckle for a second.  It sounds like a game I might have made up as a kid.  Starring Sylvester the Cat.

I taw this table of tested tweeters the other day, and although the photo itself is not remarkable, I do find it interesting that we still tag the samples in this manner.  The tags themselves look like something from the 1960s.  But I guess I can't think of a better way.

Thanks to those who emailed me about the latest on the dead thing in my attic.  No, I haven't been able to find it, and yes, it still reeks.  It must be in the corner of the house, right over Steven's room, because if I keep his door shut, it can be contained.  Steven, aka "the Blender," bunked with me last night, which explains the bags under my eyes.

I suppose the tweeters could be barcoded with smallish labels rather than paper tags.  

Barcoding would have the advantage that each one could be entered into a tracking system.  

Scan it in and enter the data and move to the next.

Depending on how using the tags this may work as well.

Amy have you looked under Steven's bed? Boys love to stash things there that can and do evolve on their own....

Seti--oh, trust me, I have emptied that room looking. It's definitely a "death" smell. You can see my house if you click on my name above this comment....  The window behind the yellow tree is Steven's, and you'll notice the attic vent right above it... The only access to that is in the ceiling of an interior closet, which the previous owner felt compelled to seal. If the smell continues for much longer, we're going to have to bust through it...

Can't see the house pic Amy but I deal with this alot also in Florida.  Mostly rats and coons given the fruit and such.  Sometimes they are actually in the walls rather than the attic, come up via under the home, but your home may be on a slab.  Not sure what kind of foundation you have.  The smell can be pretty bad for a few weeks, but for me goes away.  

Plug your nose!

Yeah, we're on a slab...  This link should work:

You're twit!

I'm guessing a critter in the wall.  It might not be a bad idea to see if you can easily remove the attic vent and take a look?  

Just find somebody that won't be too grossed out if they find the remains of something staring them in the face....

It might be easier than crawling around in the attic.  

I can't get to the picture either.

Do you have limbs over the roof where a raccoon or other critter could crawl on the roof? If they can get up there, frequently they can find a way into the nice warm comfy attic. Check for dislodged soffit vents, siding around junctions in wall/roof joints that's been pulled away, just anything amiss might be the point of entrance.

After an exhaustive search last night, the culprit was found.  A squirrel had indeed lodged itself in the attic somehow, and met his demise just above the ceiling over Steven's bed.  Poor thing.  But "Hallelujah" for us!  Amazing how such a little thing can be so disruptive.

Amy,

The tags are actually provided by the supplier.  We use a label maker.  :)  You thought we weren't lazy?
