[wngsprd]

Wifes' car is fixed and the two log cars are weathered and on the layout.

Have a good one.

That log car looks like the real thing.

nasty stuff actually, naturally...., used to kill invasive fish and creates Parkinson's like reactions
in humans if overdosed.

Yeah ... be sure not to put too much of it into your wine cooler ... or inject it into your jugular vein like they did with the rats/mice in the study ... :laughing:

Lovely.

Lemme see if I understand this correctly:

All you're looking for is a long-acting, selective, "organic" pesticide (that only kills the bad bugs) ... that is perfectly safe for humans ...

When you locate this, I'd say you might also wanna check the local environs for the presence of other rare creatures ... such as unicorns ...

:laughing:

But....it works. And it's organic. Maybe....all about the definitions.

I'd say it's more about the expectations ... :laughing:

Several days? I'm not dusting with this stuff every two days...yikes.

Article said that it was active for six days ...

FWIW, we didn't "dust" with it (which is probably a good way to inhale it) ... I mixed it with water and sprayed.

As one's strawberries are covered in a layer of pesticide...yum. Good reason to rewash anything you get in the store.

Common sense ...

but yes RS, it may be all natural, but not sure I want to eat veggies covered in fish killer dust

You sound ... (wait for it) ... conflicted ...

:laughing:

Good morning! 86˚ wait that is not right, my weather station must have spiders in it again. Bright sunny day. Rick just informed me that Christy was on the news again this time someone was filming with a drone. Family finds alligator hanging out in backyard swimming pool Rick, whose house was that, it is a nice estate.

Don't remember, that was12 hours ago. I starting to forget what I had for breakfast.

Looked at it again and it was in Missouri City, SW of Houston.

With the sound of the video I thought it was a drone but it was a news helicopter. With all the rain I would not be surprised if she gets more calls. 40 years ago, I bought my first house was in Missouri City, and then it flooded two months later . . . .

This is your fault you got me started.

My Grandpa walked on crutches for over 70 years and never ate much, said he couldn't because he walked on his hands. One day I took him to Richmond to get his hearing aids worked on. On the way back he had me stop at the Krispy Kreme Donut place. He handed me $2 and said get 2 dozen. I went in and got the donuts and when I got to the truck he asked "Was that enough money?" and I said Yea Grandpa. I ate a couple donuts and he finished the 2 dozen before we got home. He got out of the truck and headed for his bedroom for some turpentine, stuck his tongue on the bottle and tipped it up, said it gets rid of that over full feeling. A couple years later after his funeral a bunch of us grand kids were sitting around talking about Grandpa and I told this story. Several others said they had told Grandpa that they had enough money too, and each of us said that was the only time they ever saw Grandpa over eat but none were surprised at Grandpa and his turpentine.

Thats a good one ED i take full blame.

Rotenone has been used as an organic[13] pesticide dust for gardens. Unselective in action, it kills potato beetles, cucumber beetles, flea beetles, cabbage worms, raspberry beetles, and asparagus beetles, as well as most other arthropods. It rapidly biodegrades under warm conditions, so harmful residues are minimal. A light dusting on the leaves of plants will control insects for several days.

Like I said, I use diatomaceous earth, kills the critters and harmless, except if you breath a lot of the dust, it'll irritate your nose. It's 100% organic and relatively cheap.

Drew. I use Seven in a liquid. Usually just spraying a couple of times a year. Potatoes a little more often.

I know it's not organic.

I use Sevin on my fruit trees early in the year for beetles, then switch to diatimacious earth. I make a whitewash with it and paint the trunks, and dust the leaves and blooms.

Thanks, wngsprd, I enjoy working on the train layout and the grand kids love it almost as much as doing things in the yard and woods. Something for all seasons.
Today,

Well I went ahead and cut that 60+ foot dead Ash next to the driveway in front of the shed. Was pretty puckered up before it fell hoping it would go the way I wanted it to, but it fell perfect. Got to use the grapple a lot. Gave all the core stump age wood to Brian to split and sell to the campers. I have more than I can use of dead Ash. Saved a few small trash loads for when the grand kids came over so they could ride along to the burn pile. Man O man I can't believe how well Jordan the two year/almost three old can steer the tractor. He even knows how to pick up the RPM. We had fun, for sure. :thumbsup:

Have a good night, I am beat. Here are some pictures of one of the three sections of the trunk of the Ash. it was a 4 legged tree. I cut 3 of them last fall and took the big one today. It sure can bring up the heart rate as your cutting one of these thing in close quarters like this one was. It fell, just where I hopped it would. :scratchchin:

good evening all. Not caught up yet but tired and post quick update. Trip to Missouri went well, L couch on the deck boat rebuilt with 3/4 in. wolmanized plywood (original 1/2 in. no-exterior grade plywood). 50 hours work in that puppy, looked more like an aircraft spar than a seat back . Had about 5 in. of rain while gone, more coming next week. 57F this morning, 77 for high. Windy tomorrow, as wife and I play in a couples golf tournament tomorrow.
