[Boatanchors] Mouse mess...

Thats a relief!
I spent the better part of a day sweeping up mouse nests off the shelves on
to the floor of the shed, and then sweeping outside.
Lots of dust and no precautions.
This was a few months ago.
Never heard of that virus out here in NH and neither has the town Health
Officer so I guess Im safe.
