[0.00 --> 4.52] I know this is going to seem like a dumb question, but do you have rats in North Carolina? |
[5.52 --> 7.72] Not that I've seen, but I imagine so. |
[8.56 --> 9.26] I don't really know. |
[9.32 --> 14.56] I don't know what the rat territory is, but I do know they are in the Pacific Northwest. |
[15.10 --> 18.14] And some RVs fall victim to rats. |
[18.20 --> 19.02] It's like disastrous. |
[19.64 --> 21.94] Are these the culprits for the footprints on your suspension? |
[22.72 --> 24.14] No, that I think was a raccoon. |
[24.14 --> 29.10] But I'm thinking critters are a problem here in the Pacific Northwest. |
[30.00 --> 43.86] So I ordered a suite of these really high-powered outdoor noisemakers that just, they're hypersonic frequencies, but I think they kind of sound like birds to the critters, like hungry birds. |
[44.38 --> 46.70] And they flash lights and all this kind of stuff. |
[46.92 --> 50.28] But they're just so loud that I think they also bother Levi. |
[50.44 --> 51.78] And so I thought, here's what I'm going to do. |
[52.16 --> 53.78] There's a home assistant solution for this. |
[53.78 --> 60.96] I got myself a series of outdoor Z-Wave smart plugs and a couple of indoor ones. |
[61.00 --> 61.86] I'll have links in the show notes. |
[62.70 --> 67.50] And I set these up so that when we leave, the noisemakers automatically turn on. |
[67.68 --> 70.48] And then when we arrive back, they automatically turn off. |
[70.52 --> 72.66] And that way, we don't worry about bothering our dog Levi. |
[73.48 --> 77.46] And, you know, I'm not getting blasted myself with ultrasonic noise, I guess. |
[77.46 --> 79.06] That's great. |
[79.18 --> 82.42] I mean, I remember as a teenager, they used to play in the shopping center near me. |
[82.58 --> 83.90] I suppose you call them a mall here, don't you? |
[84.38 --> 85.08] The shopping mall. |
[85.34 --> 90.46] They used to have these high-pitched kind of things that used to go back up and down. |
[91.66 --> 96.22] To this day, I think I can still hear quite a lot of high frequencies considering how old I am. |
[96.68 --> 97.66] They just drive me crazy. |
[97.74 --> 101.00] There's a house across the road that has one for the deer that run through our neighborhood. |
[101.30 --> 101.82] Oh, yeah? |
[102.14 --> 103.44] You can get them for deer, huh? |
[103.84 --> 104.16] Yeah. |
[104.82 --> 106.36] I mean, I assume that's what it's for. |
[106.72 --> 108.76] Yeah, I've seen them for deer on the front of cars. |
[109.26 --> 115.20] Yeah, I can feel like a real weird pressure on my ears, but I don't hear anything. |
[115.36 --> 120.28] But then it has like this test mode that puts it into human hearing, and it's loud. |
[120.48 --> 121.14] You can hear it. |
[121.30 --> 121.42] Yeah. |
[121.58 --> 121.84] Yeah. |
[122.06 --> 124.88] So I thought, okay, let's just turn those suckers off. |
[124.96 --> 125.92] But I don't want to remember. |
[126.12 --> 128.34] I don't want to have to, you know, think about it. |
[128.70 --> 129.48] I want to just be sitting. |
[129.54 --> 131.32] I will be home and have Levi get a headache all of a sudden. |
[131.32 --> 132.86] So I thought, let's do it based on location. |
[132.86 --> 134.60] Why keep a dog and bark yourself? |
[136.34 --> 137.38] So far, so good. |
[138.14 --> 138.54] Absolutely. |
[139.34 --> 142.48] Now, should we talk about the hoopla with Spotify this week and Neil Young? |
