I built a "cage" out of 1" PVC (8 segments) and drape a 30' x30' piece of bird netting over it overlapping the open ends by one full segment. Secure netting to the PVC with zip ties and to the ground with netting pins. Pull up the pins on one overlapping segment to gain access for cherry...

I had a 4' pusher blade for my Craftsman lawn tractor that I adapted and chained to the bucket of my Kubota B6100. Used it to clear my 300' gravel driveway and 1/4 mile gravel community access road. When we got 30" snow, I ditched the blade and just attacked it with the FEL.

I'm the same way - never could memorize my "times tables" or flash cards. I do my math by remembering a few major single-digit multiplication results and counting on my fingers. I have a bachelor's in Industrial Technology and a Masters in Systems Management. 20 year career as a Naval Flight...

I remember when my parent's phone number was Newmark 5-1274

The significant number, if you're talking about affecting other people, is not deaths, it's hospitalizations. When hospital ICU beds are taken up by COVID patients, that doesn't leave any for accident victims or other emergencies.

It's a Naval Air Station, not Air Force :) . Deception Pass bridge is a major tourist attraction. There are walkways between the road and the bridge railing with just a small cable separating walkway from traffic lane. More than one tourist has gotten smacked by an RV passenger side rearview...

That's Deception Pass bridge from Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island. Designed and built in 1935. It had just undergone inspection and re-painting a couple of weeks before. They never could have conceived of trucks this size and weight back in '35. Amazing.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, joined this thread late. Irish Spring Soap (original scent). We drill a hole through a bar and hang them from trees and bushes at "deer nose height" with a zip tie. It works.

Was here with the Navy '73 - 76 and '79-82. Then retired here in 2015. We're down south in Freeland - avoid going up to Oak Harbor as much as possible - it's becoming too much like Seattle. Yeah - we ran on the generator for 2 days last week.

Welcome to the forum. I'm on Whidbey Island. Hope the floods last week didn't affect you. Another round of the pineapple express coming today/tomorrow. Stay safe.

Something like this might work...

If you're going to rattle can the finish coat, why not rattle can the primer? Seems the time spent in sanding is the slow-down... Am I missing something?

Not my Photos but more from the beautiful Pacific Northwest - Whidbey Island last night 8/22/20 and the night before:
