    Saw some bugs here on the warm day we had this week also. Those damm little black gnats that swarm you getting into everything!

    Can't imagine how bad they must be up by you once they start!

    Black fly season is the worse. Some wear head nets just to be outside. You can inhale them if you don't

    Yes. Black flies are terrible this year. So are hornets. I've never seen so many as this year. Hope the skeeters aren't like that but fear they will be. The skeeter patrol is coming out next week to treat standing water around the house so that will help.

    Not enough bug spray to cover Alaska
    Betting they will start to swarm now: Overcast, light rain, 46°,

    Have a few welts from them, but they died making them. :D

    Skeeter patrol came early. They were here yesterday and yes, they found larve so the skeeters will be hatching very soon. Dang....:mad: :hair:

    Two where uprooted three downed and there's two more I need to fell. He asked me to take a few more trees after I got started and I think he wants a couple more that he hasn't asked me to do yet. :thumbs:

    I'm gonna take my splitter and split the piled there so I don't have to move the rounds multiple times. There's a lot there to split so the wife will most likely tag along too as she enjoys the splitting part.

    With the saturated ground and the winds we had a week or so back, there are a number of trees that just gave up here also.

    Speaking of saws Pete, don't forget that I have one here for you. I had almost forgotten about it until yesterday when I had to move it. Hum... I thought. Where did that one come from? No hurry thought as it is not in the way at all nor have I tried to start it.
