What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I'm finally able to "allow" myself to actually pay folks... once in a while... to do stuff I used to do. It still buggs the livin chit outa me tho...

 

Just took care of a big hornets nest outside. Little bit of gas and those suckers were pizzsssed!

 

I don't like it either, however there are some things best left to others instead of beating on the old body. Then sometimes like when you are injured things that need to be done that you normally could also need to get farmed out. That is what makes a $150 repair into a $390 or so one.

 

I have one to take care of but it can wait until I'm through with the step ladder in the garage. This will be a chemical warfare one.

 

I remember my father burning a big nest in a maple tree, back when I was about 6. He wrapped a bunch of rags around the end of a long pole, waited until dark, lit the rags and held it under the nest. Lots of hornets rained down on the grass, all on fire. Not one got away and the nest burned perty good too. Guess I wouldn't try that in a pine tree tho...

 

Giz was about 50 feet away from the huskies who had worn her down worse than the Blurr bros on a Saturday night... (love that smilie)

 

I've burned em out before but the grass is pretty high under the nest so i didnt want to take a chance. It was low enough i was able to back the ranger under it a bit, stand in the bed and pour a cup of gas over the top. The nest soaks it right up and walla!

 

What happened to the email notifications?????

I'm way behind now.

 

Suns up. Little bit of fog in the way though.

 

Nice! Where is it?

 

Block Island.

 

Doesn't look -86*!

 

No. Fortunately we have about 150 degrees on top of that.






I hope the coffee shop is open now.

 

Words can not describe the beauty and serenity.

 

Well the coffee shop. was closed. We had to wait till 6:30 for another place to open up.


And now back at the same spot 6 hours later.




I need a nap and I'm on vacation so I can!

I would like to know why my son will get up at 5:00 AM to ride his bike to the beach when on vacation yet on a school day it is almost impossible to get him up at 7:50, 10 minutes before the bus gets there.

 

I think I was the same way in my school days. And today I'm in bed at 9 and up at 5:30 am most days. I might stay up til 10 or 10:30 on the weekends.

 

"I would like to know why my son will get up at 5:00 AM to ride his bike to the beach when on vacation yet on a school day it is almost impossible to get him up at 7:50, 10 minutes before the bus gets there" ... ... can you say... girls...

 

Made my way to the range tonight. I Got some italian .380 rounds (Ferucchi?) I wanted to run through my Taurus. First 2 clips went fine then things started to go bad. I ended up with 10 jams in 100 rounds fired. Was not happy with that ammo at all. The guy at Shooters told me the rounds fire clean and no complaints that he knew of.
I still have 200 on the bench yet to shoot.
I wonder if I should try and sell them, might work better in another gun.

 

My mother in law fell tonight. She's in quite a bit of pain so the wife is at the ER with her right now.

 

Hope things turn out OK CG. Good that your wife is close by and able to be there.
