    Best diet to lose 20 lbs?

    Serving sizes are an issue too. It seems as if nearly everyone eats 2-3 times what they need. Wife made pizza last night. Big, thick slice of cheese and meat. None of it good for dieting and I really didn’t need to eat 2 slices. Half of one would have been a truer “serving”. I need to lose...

    Nobody fishing?

    I think I was climbing trees with a chainsaw when I was younger than that. We used wood heat and dad would pay us $20 a pickup load. Sometimes the best firewood was in a live tree especially when the stuff on the ground was frozen to the ground. I think he had us using a Poulan with a 12” bar...

    Draw on battery 1

    From google: The Mercathode is an electronic corrosion control system for boats, manufactured by Mercury Marine, that actively prevents galvanic corrosion on underwater metal components. It works by using impressed current cathodic protection, which introduces a reverse electrical current to...

    Cigarettes, shocked!

    Oklahoma just passed an open container law for pot. If anyone lights up in a car the driver gets a ticket. Seems like common sense to me since the driver cannot stay out of the smoke. Open container laws for alcohol in cars don’t make sense to me since the driver has the option to take a drink...

    I guess, if you like the smell of skunk.

    Cigarettes, shocked!

    I live in the Indian Nations. The 24/7 factory is just up the road. Most expensive place to buy them is locally. The Indian smoke shop at the casino is cheapest. Gas station is $2 more for a carton. It is a lot cheaper when we travel out of state. At least smokes aren’t costing us $5300 a year...

    Cigarettes, shocked!

    My wife smokes Salems. They were up over $110 a carton when she switched to 24/7s. The 24/7s can be had for as little as $38 a carton in some areas. Locally they are $54.

    rodent infestation

    The only ground bees I have encountered are bumblebees. Honey bees will swarm. They are a lot of fun to encounter while trimming trees. I cut through a limb with a hive I didn’t see in it. Not many places to run when 40 feet up in a bucket truck. Thank goodness I am not allergic to them. The...

    rodent infestation

    Bees don’t bother me. We have carpenter bees in the barn. When I get stung I go get a can of carb cleaner from the shop and clear them out. It would probably work on a hole in the ground as well as a hole in the wall.

    rodent infestation

    We had skunks in the 8” irrigation pipe all the time when I was a kid. The fix then was to shake them out and shoot them. Every skunk I saw shot sprayed while it was dying. Please feel free to shoot as many in your yard as you like but I don’t enjoy the smell enough to shoot one in my yard.

    rodent infestation

    That’s the best advice. Take care of the issue and keep your mouth shut. I had someone tell me the best way to kill a skunk is to drown it because they won’t stink. I had someone else tell me it was inhumane and a crime to do it.

    rodent infestation

    I saw similar stupidity when I was spraying crops. A lawyer bought a farmhouse in a cornfield then complained about noise the farm equipment made. There isn’t much quiet on farm ground because it is industrial. Tractors, combines, trucks, spray rigs and cropdusters all make a lot of noise...

    rodent infestation

    Same thing happens to airports. Build them miles from anything. People move into the area and start complaining about the noise. Many mew rules are created for the airport and it eventually closes.

    If it’s on a boat or attached to a boat harness… safety/kill switch.

    Offer accepted

    I left the family to join the USAF. Chased a woman to my present local upon retirement. 15 years later I married a different woman who isn’t from here either. Our parents are in their 80s. Going home sounds good but fiscally challenging and somethings have to be sacrificed. For instance...
