Ah hell, I couldn't wait for daylight. I went out and stomped everyone of the chunks that were left. I can look out the window when the sun comes up and see if I got all of them. I SHALL win this war!!!!!!!!!!

Give Em HELL.

I killed em all. A friend of mine got attacked Sunday by yellow jackets. He spent 2 days in the hospital. Swelled up like a balloon.

So me and the dog were walking by the shop yesterday and BLAM, he got attacked by another bunch of yellow jackets. The sons a bitch's have a hole bored in the building. I'm headed out there now to start killing them. Went to the hardware and got 4 mores cans of spray. Guy said the jackets have been horrible this year. He got stung pretty good too. Be right back!

If that hole looks like they used a drill to do it...….they are called Carpenter Bees. Fill in the hole and then use white paint around the whole area...…..they will stay away from white paint...…..I'm serious......Google Carpenter Bees.

Pretty sure these ones are Yellow jackets. The hole is about an inch around and not perfectly round. I have some cedar boards on the overhang and some trim where there are perfect small round holes. We have been squirting the powder in those holes, as I'm pretty sure they are the carpenter ones.

A friend called me last week and asked if I could come over and spray a big Yellow jacket nest on his garage. I had to laugh. He said that I was the only one in the bunch of us that grew up together that can still run. Damn, he's right! We are all getting up there. Doc did a breathing test on me last week. I have the lungs of a 93 year old man! Smoking for over 50 years has knocked the shit out of my lung capacity. I did get the nest at his place though.

I've been out walking the back 40 this morning looking for a wounded fawn. The dog got ahold of it just before sunset last night. It was having a hell of a time walking and couldn't get over the fence. I took a section of the fence down where they come in and out. I hope it got out and back to the mother. She has twins. Or maybe she used to have twins.

The slobs that were renting our place next door moved out. I am shocked at what pigs they really are. Broke the stove, washing machine, had a leak under the vanity that they tried to fix with that "magical" white tape shit. Didn't work, ruined the vanity bottom. Broke the sprayer at the kitchen sink faucet, laundry tray trap plugged, bath tub drain plugged, electrical plug broken in the receptacle, bath tub filthy, walls have holes in them, broken patio door lock, broken blinds, walls filthy, carpet ruined, man the shit is unbelievable. Every month I asked her if anything was wrong over there. Always said no, everything is fine. I hate people.

Renters suck most times , I have one been in my house 7 years now , young family and great tenants ,hope they never leave .

I have everything fixed. New tenant is moving in today and I'm hauling ass for Florida this morning. Hoping to not get too drowned in all the rain they say is coming.

Have a safe trip Tony. It is raining but at least the temp has come up. In the 40's all day yesterday, 54 this morning when I got up.

Safe Travels Tony .

Made it down here. The first part of the trip was brutal. It rained from the time I got in the van until mid Kentucky. I have never driven in that much rain. All I could do is follow the tire tracks of the vehicle in front of me. Stop and go, drive at 10 mph, the fools in trucks driving like maniacs.

Everything here is working fine. I put a battery tender on everything, except the tractor, and it all fired right up. Have massive amounts of tree limbs down all over the property from the hurricane. Everything that I cut last year with the brush hog has returned with a vengeance. Going to be busy for a while.

At least it's just tree limbs and not any real damage. Enjoy the weather, supposed to be wet and cold here all week.

Have gotten almost everything cleaned up and brush hogged down here. The chiggers and ticks are bad this year for some reason. Been spraying down with Deep Woods Off and the bastards are still getting me. The chiggers got between my socks and legs and went crazy. I spray inside my boots, all over my socks and legs, but these bastards seem to be immune to it.

The girl that is moving into the rental is a friend of mines daughter. I had the carpet cleaned by a professional company. Turns out the bitch that was living there lied about how good her cats were. They pissed all over, so much on the heat registers that they were welded to the carpet. Pissed so much that the duct work was rusting. Having all new carpet installed and the whole floor being painted with Killz. I am letting them pick new paint for all the walls and ceilings too. Her dad is doing the painting and misc repairs. Replacing lots of the duct work too. It is astounding how the slobs could live like that. The renter was the head of the Girl Scouts in this area. I can imagine what kind of shit she was teaching the girls. Being a pig is OK.

Wow! You sure know how to pick them Tony. Susan wanted to buy a place in CA. and rent it out. I advised against it. Never know who or what you'll have to deal with. Plus if something needs fixing you have to pay somebody to do it because you don't know how. Well that's over now, she's in MI and looking for a place around Walled Lake area.

I bought a 2014 John Deere XUV550 gator down here about 4 tears ago. Demo with 7 hours on it. I change the oil and filter every 50 hours, the manual says to change it every 100 hours. It has 300 hours on it. When I got here this year, there was a small puddle of oil under it. The entire engine is hidden with covers and the entire undercarriage is enclosed in skid plates. I started looking for the leak and had to damn near disassemble the whole vehicle to find it. This thing is the poorest engineered vehicle that I have EVER worked on, as far as maintenance goes. After hours of tearing shit off, I found the engine breather valve gasket was installed wrong from the factory. This POS has been leaking oil from the minuet it was built. I thought it was burning oil, not leaking it. The engine covers and skid plates kept it all trapped somewhere on the machine. What a mess. Got it all back together last night. Hopefully it is fixed now. No oil anywhere this morning. Miserable job.
