Hi Jon,
I don't think the red squirrel would agree to help me out. I was pretty mean to
him while chasing him out of the generator. I most likely hurt his feelings and
ruined his self esteem. Good idea though! I would have to use a Windows
version of the software if the squirrel was willing, I'm sure.
My newer generator is on a trailer and all sealed up in a metal outer
housing. The only opening is where the power cable comes in. There is a 3/4"
opening there, and already, I have seen mouse droppings inside the generator
instrument panel. I guess I need to seal that with heavy metal plate as well!
