And now to add to the aggravations a pair of mallard ducks have decided to come by the pool for a visit every day. I guess they think it’s a combination bath and toilet and there’s also duck crap all over the pool housing. I moved the fake owl out back last night and hopefully that will scare them off. If not more drastic measures will be taken. Tell me about foie gras. :(

You need one of these. One way we determine if a body of water has any alligators is the duck method. If there are ducks, then chances are, there are no alligators.

I thought I saw a couple of Killer Hornets over the weekend that I took out with spray. No so I found out, my self-proclaimed insect expert daughter analyzed them and told me they were Cicada Killers. Big suckers! When I opened the pool box there were normal wasps making a nest and the two huge Cicada Killers went after the wasps. I have now stocked up on Wasp & Hornet Spray and Carpenter Bee & Ground-Nesting Yellowjacket Killer.

This thing today looked like it`s inhaling Hornet spray for breakfast.
Maybe a Baseball bat would be a better choice.

The message board will be closed to posting at 4 PM EDT on June 30th but I have to confirm with Jordan if it will be open beyond that for people to access PMs and Profile pages.
Yeah, that's what I was meaning. Thanks.

Have confirmed with Jordan that the Board will be completely shuttered as of 4 PM EDT on June 30th so no more PMing or Profile page posting either. He'll be posting an announcement to that effect soon.

I'm sure THIS is what Mr Myers is thinking of. :)
Well when I had this thought I looked at his IMDb page, he would've been 15 when the first movie came out. So I'm sure he would be somewhat self conscience he shares a name with one of the most iconic horror movie villains of all time. I wonder how many Freddy Kruegers and Jason Voorhees there are in the world right now too

Strolled through the wonderful world of white goods couple of days ago.
Saw a Smart Fridge.
It sends you a text message, when you`re out of milk.

If it`s so smart, why doesn`t this lil smartas* walk over
to the grocerie store to buy me some milk ?
