    That would be great, thank you! My father said he had an ancient Coleman skeeter eater in the 60's - 70's ish that worked that way and was the best he had ever seen. We tried a bait zapper and blew through all the bait, same with a sticky tape trap, then had a UV zapper in the house that startled all of us and scared the dogs by the door in the house, so I would be thrilled if this helps. Thanks to bushpilot I spray on and around my doorways (& screen doors) and around the patio w pyreth---- but out in the yard even with pyreth there I could use back up as well as stop the hitch hikers that come in on the pets. Sleep well tonight, you did a lot this weekend!

    I did do a lot this weekend. Sleeping well tonight should be no problem. :yes:

    I was going to start on my wood shed next weekend, but it's supposed to rain. I'll get the boat out of storage and work on getting the motor swapped in my motorcycle instead.

    Caffeine going in. Slept in until 7 after some hard work of splitting and stacking firewood and walking the woods with my son. Good times.

    Today they all go back to school and I will continue the splitting and stacking. And maybe a few other things when I get tired of doing that.

    What a great idea! you can be my experimental guy. PM me the length of your foot, how high up the calf you want the socks and what background colour you want. I see if I can come up with a design. Oh and do you like merino wool, alpaca wool or plain wool/acrylic mix?

    Went for my walk. It is really nice out today. On my walk I counted 12 piles of blocks waiting to be split and stacked and one pile waiting to be stacked. Saw a few empty woodsheds as well. With the weather getting better - not so wet - I will probably see more piles of wood.

    campinspecter is going over to build a ramp for Mom so he has a busy day planned.

    So far I cleaned the cap of my chimney with my extendable pole saw. It was getting a little build up there and needed to be cleaned. Then went down and cleaned the bottom of the chimney out. Good job done. Boiler is heating itself and buffer tank back up. I have been shutting it off most nights when I go to bed after a fire in the evening for a couple hours to bring it and tank up to 190. Then another in the morning.

    Then I went to work splitting. One truck load done and stacked. Break time now. Enjoying a cold Pepsi in the chair with the sun beating on me through the window.

    Hey thewoodlands . Next time I go by your place I'll leave you a pile of White and Red Pine bark on the end of your driveway. You'll love it!
