    I've always been a "burn it with fire" guy, but after I found out how allergic to wasps/ hornets my wife is this summer after she went into anaphylactic shock and could have died, I'm more apt to destroy these things. Bees I'm fine with, because they don't sting for the hell of it. They sting as a last ditch defense mechanism since bees die after they sting once. Hornets and wasps can sting multiple times and lube to sting again.

    Hornets and wasps suck! I get anxiety from brush cutting or mowing with ground wasps. Those are the worst. I got lit up once, got stung 12 times, 7 times on my stomach. Found the nest and filled it with permethrin and soap.

    I suppose I could but it would tear up the lawn. I get a lot of run-off where I was spinning trying to get the tractor into the pole barn. I don't really need to make washing and digging deeper ruts a thing.
    If the weather guessers are right later this week, I might be able to get more wood brought home. The snow has to melt first.

    The problem I was having was getting the tractor and trailer into the pole barn. The trailer was empty and it is only a JD 15CF trailer.

    I have to go in this week and have another shot in my left eye for wet MD. It is supposed to be warmer towards the end of the week so I may be able to go out and get more wood brought home if the snow melts by then.

    My knees and joints can’t do it no more. I pay the price brother. My deer season has been tough seen some small ones but not the season I was hoping for.

    Could be useful in the zombie apocalypse. Not the drug induced zombie either, or maybe that too.

    There is a credit card fraud operation operating out of the Comcast/Xfinity overseas call center. Don't ask how I know. After looking online, apparently this scam has been going on for quite a while and I have to think Comcast/Xfinity is aware of it. Be very cautious giving them any financial information over the phone. We are looking at other TV/internet options.

    This right here is why I despise automatic payments.....you know the type where payments are deducted from your credit/debit card every month?

    99 is more trusting of the system, but myself, I have no problems with paper billing and writing out a check every month.

    Hope you get it cleared up!

    It looks like it is being resolved by my credit card. My wife contacted Comcast fraud department and their attitude was this was caused by us and our fault. I just wanted to give fellow hoarders a heads up.

    Woke up at 12:30 am. Rolled over and went back to sleep. Woke up again and thought it must be around 2 am, might as well get up. After brushing my teeth and starting up the computer, I looked at the time, oops, shortly after 1 am. Oh well, I wouldn't have been able to sleep any more anyway.

    Paid some bills, got some medical records filed (electronically), then spent a good long time deleting several thousand pictures off my phone (going back to 2016). Kept most of my kitty photos and dumped most of the rest. I've got anything I want on my computer anyway.

    Funny, while typing the above, my keyboard died. Had to replace the batteries. Kind of irks me that it doesn't give me any warning - just dies.

    Just hate that happening. I switched back to the wired keyboard because I like the lighted keys. I tend to work in dim lighting because of my macro degeneration. I use dual displays and my HDMI outlet died which has left me with one screen. Very inconvenient once you are accustomed to dual screens. I have ordered a splitter that has a graphics card in it. That should help fix the problem. I updated my drivers and tried all sorts of other fixes with no results.

    savemoney I saw you mentioned you have wet MD. Are you getting shots for that? I have it in my left eye and I have been getting shots. I just had my latest one yesterday. So far, so good. The Dr. says all is stable for now.
