What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I have always been puzzled by those who get the huge, multi -feeders. And then awed when I see videos of a bunch of the hummers all feeding. I have never had a feeder than more than 1 was allowed to feed at a time. Sometimes there were obvious mates, but even then, only 1 fed while the other kept look out for encroachers. The only way I could have 2 active feeders was to put them on the opposite side of the house (front porch and back deck). If they were on the same side of the house, they would run themselves ragged trying to protect both.

I thought it might be a ruby-throated thing, but I've seen videos where there were a ton of them at a feeder. I guess in this area they are just anti-social.

 

Been there, done it. Glad it's done!

 

Glad you found it, that could have cause a fire.

 

I hope not, I have to drive shortly.....

Turns out as I was half expecting. It's gone.

Great info on maintaining chemistry their test kits are best bang for the buck- get the magnetic stirring gizmo.
Be careful if you have iron in the well water that new liner will stain Brown when you add chlorine.

 

Sorry about your water. Does this only happen in the summer, with plentiful flow in the winter?

 

Glad to hear things are going well.

 

My thoughts also. I've seen those vids of them in swarms. Nothing ever like that here. They will drive away any other hummingbird. Very protective of their territory.

 

Caffeine break. And my youngest daughter made a home made chocolate cake with red raspberry preserves in the middle yesterday. Delicious. I only ate half a piece because that with the can of Pepsi should be enough sugar for an overload.

More mowing with the M59 today. Nice weather. Getting pretty warm. About 78 already and suppose to go to 80. When I get done mowing I will put the York rake on and get a couple areas into better shape.

 

Sorry all I heard was blah blah blah m59.
You need to share some more pics of that beute!

 

Time to call it a day. This was an earlier break in the shade.

Almost all mowing done. I worked the morning hours at home yesterday and then went into work on overtime for 8 hours. Not much of a first day off. Time to take the rest of this day off. A nap in the A/C is in order. And then head to my son’s soccer game with the family. Relax one way or the other for the rest of the day.

My kids and wife were coming home from swimming lesssons and the kids all started giggling. My wife said what are you guys laughing about. They said Dad’s tractor looks like a toy down there with the backhoe off of it!
