No, he died about two years ago. And the
home is listed for sale.

I donned my best Rambo gear, grabbed a
high capacity assault flyswatter, and
went amazon on it.

Missed. Sigh.

you allergic?

this year seems to be a high count for
wasps/hornets. they were buzzing all over
the place out there today.

we have a lot of large rocks that they
like to build nests behind. the raccoons
come through every once in a while and pull
the nests out (and eat them ).

The one time I got stung on my hand, it did
swell up and hurt a lot. Allergic? Unsure.

Fixed is an interesting term. Not the
word I'd used.

I hung my helmet on the bike's mirror this morning. When I came out from
work an went to put it on, a yellow jacket was checking it out for a
home. I'm glad I saw it. A wasp in a full face helmet isn't much fun.

The damn ticks are out too. Wasps I can mostly live with but a tick
drives me into a homicidal frenzy. I cut them in half and burn the pieces.

If you were allergic you would be sure. Of course, just because you were
okay the last time doesn't mean you won't stop breathing the next time
you get stung. Better buy an Epipen and keep it with the dead flashlights.

In the half century I've been alive, got
stung once. And that was when I was taking
apart a piece of machinery. I knew full well
it had active nest. Sprayed it with what I
had (ant and roach spray). Guess that doesn't
do much on wasps. Won't make that mistake again.
Not worth the $50 to buy an epi pen for an
event that's not happening again. (I hope!).

No. that would be the old Dodge work van that he cut an opening for his
window shaker A/C. I used to have a pix but too lazy to look it up.

What size ticks do you have? Have you tried a flea & tick collar? g
