Random rat-in-engine tip: a combination of ultrasonic repeller and propping up the hood every night is working very well for preventing rat/mice/woodrat nesting in the engine. A little bit of a PITA propping the hood up (and putting it down every day), but better than destroying your engine wiring. Rats have given up going into the engine bay, not enough protection from the owls.

@twoowls73 @ai6yr Looks like a Dambo.

@jhavok I thought it was likely to be a Dambo, too, but I'm not finding evidence of that, one way or another. I did find the sculpture here (10th one in the carousel at the top):
