Only got stung once as I'm a pretty fast runner:) tmp_28955-photo-9-837009702.JPG tmp_28955-photo-8-1932693560.JPG tmp_28955-photo-3-1230433321.JPG tmp_28955-photo-71227680717.JPG tmp_28955-photo-983880748.JPG tmp_28955-photo-2253382851.JPG tmp_28955-photo-4-1235107496.JPG tmp_28955-photo-5-1671507103.JPG

    Lots of hard work in those BTU's. Lots of good pics, but where was the dog in your Avatar when you took these?

    Great haul scooter!

    Wasps are one reason I don't like to mess with firewood in summer.

    Nice looking bulldogs :yes:
    Good call on leaving them at home in the heat. As you know, brachiocephalic dogs can't cool off like dogs with longer snouts can.

    No dogs weren't stung. They can't be out in the sun for more than 5 min without over heating! That's bulldogs for ya. Think ill wait to get the wood I cut over by those yellow jackets in late fall:)

    Been a bad year here for yellow jackets. I'm allergic by the way.

    First had a hive goin under the hood of the lawn mower, garden hose took care of them.

    Last night when I was burning card board in the pit I found they had moved into an old box spring that was in the burn pile for this winter. I snagged it with a grapple and cable then pulled it into the middle of the yard with the atv. Threw a gallon jug of gasoline on it from a distance, followed by a lit road flare. No more yellow jackets.

    This morning I went to pull some stuff off my parts f150 and found a nest going under the hood. 3" mag full of 9 shot took care of that one.

    Oh man...you are brave venturing into the woods this time of the year. Too many skeeters for me and the heat too. In a couple months, the woods are a little more friendly.

    Yeah that's my other bully Jenkins. He's one lazy guy! I hadn't been out in the woods for awhile and was getting that itch. Was ready to add more rounds to the pile :)
