Those look like Madagascar hissing cockroaches. The ISU insect zoo used to include some in their field trips, and my daughter brought two home from one because the zoo had plenty. She named them Bill and Ted, and used them in a video for class (high school.)And thus began the war on bugs . . . . .

Huge tick year, again. Retired doctor friend got the bullseye rash reaction after a trip to Sherburne NW Refuge earlier this spring. That, and feeling sick, got him to urgent care and they gave hm the antibiotics dose for Lyme's. And he had Lyme's once before. He had practiced in Wisconsin where I think you have even worse chances for Lyme's than here in Minnesota.
I went to the same refuge spot 8 times this spring and didn't get any ticks, at least that I found. Was wearing Permethrin impregnated pants and sprayed DEET on my shoes/socks. After he told me about the tick bite I tied old shoelaces around my pants cuff on next trip up there and wore a tight body suit top I had from my old running days.
Boxster mobile is currently sort of disabled. 99% sure it is the little ignition switch that goes on the back of the bigger ignition steering lock assembly. Part was redesigned years ago and the new bigger assembly doesn't even use it. It's like a $20 part but crazy hard to replace as it requires contortionist access under the dash. Dealer and other garage solution is to replace everything for $1000 or so rather than the labor for installing the $20 part. Got the part and am going to try to do it myself. Not sure I am flexible enough at 70-something though. Worse part is two tiny set screws to release the old part....supposed to be a PITA to loosen.
I see a lot of cuss words in your near future.
I might go screwdriver shopping. I have a tons of screwdrivers but might want to find one for small screws that is stubby and not long shafted. The screws supposedly have Loctite from the factory so that's an issue to.
Two minute mark of video is the problem child. And can I contort a 75 year old body under there to see it. Good news is I am only 155lb and not 250 or something but not sure that makes up for the lack of fexibility at 75!
