We went to lunch today and were lucky to get a seat which is usually no problem. The place was packed which is good to see also. My old dog Bear bit me today. He wasn't trying to. He was trying to bite my German Shepherd because Bear's a grumpy old dog and Duke bugs him. Bear is blind and he just missed Duke and got me instead. :lol: I guess Duke moves faster than I do. :lol: I was just shocked that the old fella still had it in him. He bit me hard. |

We went shopping for plants to put in pots for the deck and the wife got a little over productive. We placed 28 plants in 6 pots today and still have 14 left over and no more pots. She claims it wasn't deliberate so she has to go buy more pots, but I don't know... Managed to buy 12 flowers/shrubs to plant around the house too.

I hung my Sputnik lamp today. I'm going for the 60's vibe in the house like when it was built. Excuse the mess. The place is still under seemingly endless construction. The floor is already being put in and those sliding doors are going bye bye. I'm putting in French doors. I don't know why they call them French doors. They aren't from France. Kind of like French fries. :confused: Those round circles in the ceiling are skylights. I keep trying to turn the lights off but then realize that the lights are already off. I was dropped on my head as a child. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...um/Sputnik.jpg |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sliding glass doors are so '60s. Taking them out? I don't get why they call them French doors either. Wouldn't that be a porte?
there are carpenter ants, too, and neither build anything. They destroy wooden structures. They call them carpenter bees so you know who to call to fix your house. That's great if California doesn't have those. They bore a whole that looks like it was drilled with a 3/8" bit, but that's just the beginning. They hollow out a chamber to lay eggs. They come back every year and multiply till you have these aerial dog fights between males. You can hear them munching away inside the board. These traps trick them and they work. They crawl in, fall into the jar and can't get out |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've had ants practically kill one of our trees. Son of guns bored a hole through the center of a real large, long limb nearly the length of it. I had seen some ants on the tree but it didn't look out of the ordinary. It wasn't until I cut that big limb down and into shorter lengths that I learned what they were doing. Completely inside the limb.
And again recently I saw trails in some wall studs of my shop behind the wood siding that looked like termite damage. As I poked into them I found ants buried up in them. They were vacated. ;) |

Paul, if you are missing out on the fun, I'll be glad to ship some to you. You could start a new colony of them. No need to thank me. :D |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I had them in my previous pergola. Tore it down and built another. I should put out some traps and cover the sides so the wife doesn't have to look at them dying.

I've got enough problems with the dang termites munching away on my house. I think I've seen those carpenter bees. I just never knew the name. They're the big ones? I had a bunch of them buzz bomb me when I was working at some trashy vacant house and they were in the wall. They didn't sting me but it was unpleasant. The trouble with the sliding doors is that it's a wrestling match to get them to slide and my wife doesn't like them. The key being she doesn't like them. She wants French doors. Enough said. I'd probably just keep them but we all know how that goes. Why fight a battle that you know you'll lose. Just bust out the white flag and admit defeat. French doors it is!! :rolleyes: Now I have to replace 4 sets of sliding doors with the French ones. That may be more unpleasant than the carpenter bees attacking me. $$$ |

If I'm lucky it knocks them down so I can step on them. Sometimes they still fly off -- tough little buggers. Never been stung by one (yet!). |

My kids,used to catch the carpenter bees. Then put them in the freezer, once cold they would tie a thread around them. Once they warmed up they take em for fly on the thread. I used to have a bunch of flying around with thread for weeks.....

Pergola sounds like something that grows in the toilet and you need to pour bleach on it to get rid of it. Woodpeckers is a funny word. Maybe I just have a twisted mind. |
