Hate to hear it Beagle but at least your gettin it fixed back up. I had to rewire a van on Thursday that one of them rodents chewed through 4 wiring harnesses. I shoot every one of them that i see around my house. Had a Grand Am in acouple weeks ago that the owner had found a Ground Hog up under the hood and that damn thing had reeked havoc on the wiring took me a good 5 hours to splice all that back together.
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.
