Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

I also am still having issues with a groundhog under my pool house. Seems it moved the traps out of the way. May have to try poison. Not fond of doing that. Cannot get under house for bombs and guns are out of the question due to location.

Couple doses of Chlorine and Ammonia poured down hole should do it. Cover hole after applying. Be careful.

That does look good and with just a few modifications it would fit into my requirements.
1. Substitute taco seasoned black beans for the ground meat.
2. Substitute Sprouted Corn Tortillas | Food For Life for the Fritos to get it to oil/fat free.

Did you sprinkle lime juice on top?

Wife used French Dressing. I poured a large amount of Medium Salsa on it.

Unfortunate, but cannot get to the hole. And I am not messing around with chlorine in tight spaces. That stuff makes me gag walking into the building where store the pool stuff. And the building is ventilated.

Plus, I have a horror/funny story about an old friend crawling under his house to bomb a groundhog. He got stuck, banged his head and almost did not make it out.

Maybe I will try some man-pee around the perimeter. LOL.

Salsa is a must.

What are you using for bait in trap? When I was trapping them. Used fresh lettuce. Maybe some of that recalled Romaine would work. :confused3: Blocking hole got same results as you. Put a couple of traps about 2' away from hole.

Rick, I love the tank art, thanks. If I were a real farmer, I think I'd make it into a cucumber or that watermelon!

Perhaps ..... an ear of corn Drew?





Or hide it with Camo?

Was using cabbage and apples in two big have-a-heart traps. Traps set side by side, right against building where it goes under. Other routes to building blocked with lots of wire. It literally pushed both traps out of the way.

I may stake them down after today.

The darn thing also got down by my koi-less pond and ravaged all my plants. It must have been like a buffet. LOL.

As we all know, tastes change with age. As a young man, I always used French Dressing on salads, but not for many years. I changed to Ranch Dressing for salads. That is except for that taco salad, and my wife and I (and our daughters) do use the French Dressing for that. And of course, Frito Lay's Medium (or Mild) Salsa is a household staple.:laughing:

Can you get a section of pipe to the hole from the outside, pour from outside?

Can you reach the hole with a PVC pipe? If so ease a PVC pipe into the hole and drop a bunch of chlorine pellets down and then add a little bit of water to get the pellets going.

Good morning all.
Spent 2 hrs this morning fighting my AC system. The pressure is fluctuating like crazy. The system was a little overcharged so I let off some into my recovery tank. It's cooling now but the fluctuation is still there. I'll have to check it out further this afternoon.

Taking the ROP, fender, and seat off my tractor so I can get to my double acting valve to fix the leak is tough. Everything is rusted so I have to cut each bolt out. Ran out of those little 3" cutting wheels that I use in my air tool to cut this. I'll have to get some more today.

Capitol One bank is driving me crazy with their notification. One service center scheduled a service date 3 months out. The other service centers call PLUS sending us a letter remind us of the date every week. I'm ready to drop them.

Have a great day all.

PS: Drew, I really like the watermelon painting on the tank.

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 6:00AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 81F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unless you’ve had the training and purchased the license, Transit is off limits for mere mortals in Kalifornia. Brush-b-gone has some in it, and is my go to for poison oak, so I’ll pick some up today while I’m in town.

Ask your eye doctors if they’re building a house or a pool, Bird. Or if they own their own fancy surgical robots and such. Any “yes” answers are cause for concern...

Maybe those traps have too much man smell on ‘em, Rip. Not sure what to do about that, though.

Hang in there, folks, Friday’s comin’...

The one that pulls its own seat, would the seat be called a 'sulky'?

It is quite a ride on that sulky, have to hang on for life when it takes off..

60°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 89° today. Looks now like we'll be in the low 90s all weekend.

Landscaper finished his work yesterday. We are pleased with the results. These guys did good work, and did it relatively quick. Here's a couple of before and after shots of the north side of the house. Looks much better, and it's no longer rotting railroad ties. Still need to clean the dust off the porch door and windows left by the masonry saw, and wait for the grass to grow.



I always tease my Wife about painting the propane tank. I've suggested a yellow submarine, and she usually slaps me when I start singing the song. Ours does need a good scrubbing, but the gray paint seems to be in good shape. Loved the watermelon tank, Rick.

I use the man-pee approach every time I'm in the barn, Mike. I don't think it's cured our problem, but it does seem to confuse them for a bit. We tried bombs a few years ago, and that worked for a little while. Our permanent fix will be to pour a concrete floor out there. Tired of dealing with those destructive oversized rats.

The Wife found a mole trapped in the netting of one of the seed blankets in the front yard yesterday, and joked with the landscaper about covering the whole yard with it. There's another problem that's been terrible the last few years.

It was 45* this morning, yesterday it got up in to the mid 70's with a light shower in the afternoon.Today is going to be in the mid 60's with a a chance of showers again this afternoon. It looks like we might get some snow over the weekend.

End up doing maintenance work on one of my trailers yesterday. I have to replace a tier on it, I'll get a new one when we go to town today.

Not much else planned for today

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

I knew something would show up. Off to Dentist. Cracked a tooth and lost a filling.

Transit? That’s used for grain crops RNG?

You need something, with triclopyr, like Remedy. And a good surfactant. I use Diesel 75% to 25% Remedy, etc.
