Have to look that up. Best I can do at either place is 2 bars, att dead spot at both.

You need some mesh boosters or new router. Wifi is pretty simple to extend.
-
Which booster did you get? I bought one off ebay for tmobile and it does not seem to work. Need one for Verizon at farm.

Picked up a pack of the short hellgrammites yesterday at Dennis. Now I need to find the time to get them wet

It's an Hour of My Life I Will Never Get Back,
jdmidwest replied to jdmidwest's topic in Throw It Down
I don't mind driving to work in the dark, as long as I have some daylight when I get home. -
HOPEFULLY.. Spring forward tonite. Maybe they will make it permanent now. My body has woke up an hour early since the fall back time last fall. I never could adjust to it, so I have lost many hours of restful deep sleep over the winter.

Burns all the way thru.....

Fly fishing can be an addictive sport, it culminates with tying your own flies. Check out Tom Hargroves or Feather Craft and let them guide you down the path of the new addiction.

Probably "stool pigeons"

For the most part, it is typical hooey. Foulbrood is not a problem in this area that I am aware of. But the cure is possible, since the queen is the sole source of genetics after they mate for the one time they do. All of the worker, drones, and nurse bees in the hive are her and her drones genetics. It would have to create a genetic mutation for resistance to the bacteria that she passes along for all of the offspring to have immunity. Maybe because she stores both the egg and sperm internally, it makes an immunity at time of conception. Normal vaccines do not really do that in human or other warm blooded animals. They just affect the host, nothing genetic gets passed to offspring. Bees are dying because of the transport of pests like varroa mites, hive beetles, and pesticide contamination from commercial beekeeping. Mites are like ticks that suck the life out of the bees and replicate in the brood of the hive. Hive beetles came in from Africa, fly in the hive and they pester the bees, find a weakness, and lay eggs. The maggots hatch and foul the honey with their feces, making such a mess that the hive dies or leaves home to die somewhere else. The honey bee was brought over to the U.S. on boats from the original pilgramage. They are an invasive species, and since they are semi domesticated over several hundreds of years and have issues that normal life forms would survive thru evolution or go extinct from it. And since they are domesticated, you need to nurture them like any other form of livestock.

Why can't you have a septic tank without laterals? I can see a leach field near a body of water, but a septic tank is a tank for storage. Just have it pumped out when it fills out. Nothing goes into the ground.

Grandpa used to have pigeons, but they were just for colors. He would pick up different breeds for colors. White, rusty, irridesant. They would raise and become wild for the most part, hang around the barn and roost there, nest there. Back in the day, when things got tough, they became easy food.

You might as well take the tour of the Montauk Mill or Alley Spring Mill, lots nicer than the mudhole at Bollinger Mill. I did some fishery collection in the Whitewater River below the mill during my college years working on my cousins grad project. Drive by it a few times each week now. Drove thru the Covered Bridge many times before they closed it back years ago. It was probably closed last weekend due to flooding around here from the rain last Thursday night.

What do Mexicans call their meal at a Mexican Restaurant? Is it just food? Let's go eat some food at the food joint? Be sure to meet me at my exit off I-55 to share some of that fresh shrimp. I had a security guard when I worked in Sikeston that would charter a small plane a few times during shrimp season and take his wife down for a weekend. He would fill up on shrimp and fly back, pay for his fuel and then some. I eat pretty good when he did that, nice big whole shrimp. Could not get that at the stores around here.

That must be some artesian well if you think you can justify a boat to use it in that new water.....

Well, spring is here. First ticks of the season today and my first snakes on the footbridge over to the barn. Dandelions popping, Bradford pears blooming, Willows greening. Asparagus popped up last week. Spinach, snow peas, and some lettuce coming up under the raised bed. My new beekeeper buddy has drone brood all over his hive, going to be a early swarm season for him. But he has been pampering and feeding his hives a lot of money this winter.

He went dark a year ago.

Funny you call it a turd hauler, that is what we call our fleet of blue ovals at the office. I don't even let my company car around my Yota's at the house, I park it at the office. Don't know how many miles on the turbo on the eco boost, but they do have issues down the road. But, its a good looking truck. Hope you got a good one.

Call me Steve MacGyver......Wednesday 3/1/2023

Good job. I never carry a pen while fishing. Need to add one to my tool box. -
I always kept up by Lane Springs. Fish were few, but you could catch a few. That lower part was always sketchy. All of the Rolla area is different now..
-
Why would a meat eating fish need to have a crayfish? Good looking fly. I know they eat them all of the time, but there are only a few times when there is a hatch of them seems like. Then they turn off and start eating some little size 14 sow bug or a gnat to fill up their guts. Trout are a funny fish.

Went by my beds this afternoon, lettuce and sweet peas popping up. I have a few sprouts of asparagus. Strawberry beds are greening up. Way too early, maybe.

Well, I posted this morning on the same crapper I was sitting on when I felt the sore lump in my neck. My second grandson was being born in the hospital and I was heading out to greet him soon after. I kept it quiet all weekend till he was home and safe. I broke the news to my wife first on Sunday nite when she came back from her daughters house and new baby. I broke the news to my doctor the next morning and was up in his office later that week. He was amazed that I found it, he missed it a few weeks earlier. And I had to pinpoint it to him after his first feeling around at the office that day. I will never forget the look on his lead nurse's face when the ultrasound hit it, I knew it was round 2 and not good. We went after it like gangbusters and killed it off. Now, 6 years later, I am almost normal. As normal as I will ever be, or ever was. And have 3 more of them grandbabies.
