so pulled the cover back on the boat hoping to get out tomorrow before low tide and rain..... yep.... about a dozen frogs, a half dozen lizards and 2 damn wasps nests.

if the frogs ate the wasps, I would be a little tolerant of them crapping all over the inside of the boat.

then noted the 3M 4200 along the rub rail has failed again. going to do a complete why 3M no longer works thread on that (with lot numbers and emails from 3M stating it cant be their product)

first world troubles.....

good news......boat did start at first turn of the key, mechanical oil pressure gauge mounted to the top of the motor is dead (electric still reading).

Have wasp, mud dabbers, carpenter bees and Bats no frogs, have lizards

Mud dabbers fill every hole 1/4 inch or smaller with mud. Be nice if they would fill carpenter bee holes, but nooo

Back shed is riddled with 3/8 holes

Developing a wet spot in peak of ceiling, got Bats in the attack. Thought I had all the holes closed off, must have missed one. Only good thing is doesn't matter when you go outside, haven't had mosquitoes in years

Have lizards but no issues

Carpenter bees were really bad this year for whatever reason. They have slowed down now but spring was brutal. They sure do love cedar trim. But it’s good for business on my end.
