Phillies Kyle Schwarber set the Major League record for leadoff home runs, hitting his 14th of the season tonight. We love leadoff Schwar-bombs! 17 games to go, hope to see a few more.
Noticed a lot of Yellow Jackets lately. They are bad this time of year. Looked around and finally found the nest. They were trying to get into the house! The nest was under the sill on a porch. Couldn't reach the nest with hornet spray. I was stumped. My other found a way on u tube. I set up a shop vac and put four inches of water and Dawn soap in the vac barrel. Extended the hose to the nest opening and let her rip. In two hours the inside the vac was carpeted with yellow jackets. Took two days just but I got them. Just running the vac every now and then.
Guess the hav-a-heart trap didn't work
I think they can smell fear and interpret it as a threat. We had a large colony under the barn a few years ago. I used to sit on the stairs during breaks from work and kept wondering why all these critters kept flying back and forth past my legs. It helps to be clueless about what's going on . Anyway, we got along just fine.

Talked to a lady during the food pantry, she feeds a bunch of 18 racoons on the back porch nightly. Says they haven't caused any problems. Maybe you just need to feed them.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

I wonder how many there will be in a year or two

Tried to order from CP for the first time in quite a while. Order went through, so I guess they finally started shipping to SD again. Awesome. Don't know if your inquiries had anything to do with the change @Rdp77, but I thank you and my wallet curses you.

40 mile (pedal) bike ride today. At the turnaround point, my front tire got off the side of the gravel trail, which I should have just allowed and followed into the grass, but I tried to get it back, and the edge of the trail gave way, putting me down. I braced with my left hand, but rolled over my hand and hyper-extended my pinkie and ring finger. Ugh, it hurts.
Set this up in the kitchen above the cabinets over the sink.
Dug two 2’ deep post holes and boy did it wear me out with all the rock. Went old school to work by lantern light too. Just so I could see how the ol grave diggers had to do it.
Also got our 12’ skeleton, 40’ of graveyard fence, tombstones, 12’ witch and cauldron set up.

A 60-second time out. That oughta teach ya.
All that flagging is starting to pay off in 60 second increments.
Stepped up the lighting on the back deck. Independent switch from my usually lights.

Could've gone in Stupid Stuff That Enters My Head because that's what will be affected.
Picked up supplies for this years addition to the Halloween display.
Do you know why there's a car hauler full of white Vettes?
They’re probably not white. That’s the plastic they wrap them in for transport
Rusty nailed it.
I sent that picture to the cfo of gm in rhinelander and he said wtf so I don't know if they are even coming here or not.
I found a friend

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
None if the Haitians find out…or so I’ve heard
Oh, Rusty... what are we going to do with you?

I knew some could talk, hadn't thought about breathing.
