New radiator mascot shows up
As I was working under the car. Checking out oil leaks and other odds and ends. A crazy Frog magically appears.
How he go into carport and on top of radiator. I don't know. But he had to have move Pretty quickly.
The level was for me to move the car around so I could find level, and could remove some oil.

Looks like a Gray Tree Frog. Their toes let them stick to almost anything. I doubt if he would have liked a hot radiator though....

It might be Pete from Oh Brother Where Art Thou in your shop hiding from the law.

Re: New radiator mascot shows up
Well, Mr. Frog is a lot nicer to have around than those of us who have to contend with mud daubers! I’ve had carburetor intakes closed with nests and when I stored and covered my Model A for 3 years had so many nests built inside the doors I had to remove all the interior panels and scraped out 25-30 dried mud nests from each door so the windows would roll down. I have no idea why Noah let mosquitoes and mud daubers on the ark…

I think one I found may have been going for a world record. The bug had to crawl through about two feet of copper tubing, through the ball valve, the compressor tank, up ten feet of half inch pipe, through anther fifty feet to the far end of the barn, and down six feet to the hose connector, which was packed with mud. Persistent little critters, aren't they?
The inevitable often happens.

Well the frog seemed on the level. 
I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.

Re: New radiator mascot shows up
You never know how critters get in. A few years ago I thought I heard mice scampering around the attic above my bed. So set some traps up there and one morning, I was awakened to a snap. I thought I would go up there after I got up to see what I had trapped. It kept moving around and so I went up there quite early, and I didn't find the trap where I had set it. I heard it moving around which was about 6 feet away, and I saw a snake! There was a mouse caught in the trap and the snake was trying to swallow it, but couldn't because of the trap. It wasn't a poisonous snake so I took it out and let it go and set the dead mouse out in an area where they don't last long. We have a lot of critters like Coyotes and Bobcats so something always eats the dead mice within one day. I have no idea how the snake got in there. I know a mouse has claws and can get in through a small hole and climb up. But a snake?
