Got a little bit done tonight. I had some ash logs that I dragged out of a drainage ditch on town land after I spotted the Orange Truck of Love doing its thing a few weeks back - got them cut to size the other day, and broke out the Fiskars to hand split em last night. I like to split ash by hand sometimes, and getting the splitter back to the spot where they were would have been a thankless chore since I foolishly blocked it off with a whole bunch of big pine and spruce rounds. Cut to my preferred 24"length, it took two runs from splitting area to current stack in progess with my little yard cart. Storm and dark here now, so I've had to hang it up for the night, but a little at a time after working the paying job is how it gets done I guess.
I saw this for what seemed like a great deal. 30 bucks and what the refill was about 10? I just wonder how long it all lasts but its purely how long you use it off and on or full on?
I'm just far enough out of city center that I can have a log burner . I'd live in the country any day bugs n all and I'm allergic to their bites
Run it until the pad turns white then change. We don't use that much over the whole year but when the skeeters are bad they are worth their weight in gold!
Ash is nice!! Standing dead ash tree at my inlaws. Will be coming down before the winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was thinking about slamming it in my bag as my daughter and I head to iowa but im not checking a bag this time. Maybe if it gets real bad i can look around for one.
Yeah, I get several morning turkey hunt out of one pad. Maybe a 6hr chunk at once? I don't know that I've ever ran one that long.
I could've used one tonight. Wood fairy left me a trailer full of pine rounds that needed stacking, and either it's time to reapply the permethrin to my work clothes, or the mosquitos just don't care about it anymore!
It's not as effective as a deet-heavy spray, but I definitely notice less biting when I'm wearing treated clothes. The mosquitos do more flybys rather than landing and eating. At this point though, I think I have gotten some sort of immunity - I got noshed heavy last night and tonight, and can't find a single itchy bite on me. Kinda weird.
There are different breeds of skeeters that hatch every year; some cause itching and some don't. Some sting and some don't. None are good.
I like this year's version best. Only itchy bites I'm sporting are from spiders. Thankfully not including the one I smashed on the side of my head last night. Gutsy bastard, but he got what he had coming to him. Gotta get some pics of the pine pile. Once split, I think it will be a couple years plus worth. I'm not drowning in the hardwood like I am in pine, but it'll burn.
