In latest F-F-G . . . ..

Though I'd think the cardboard would get tore up during each catch. Maybe replace with sheet metal piece same size and zip tie in place?

I like this story. When Pontiac went out you cold get that tiny Pontiac g3 or 4 whichever for like $12k out the door. Two guys at work were doing it and the dealer had a third one. Gas was high and they wanted something with good gas mileage for cheap they could drive forever. They tried to get me to do it and I almost did but was like no thanks I'm going to buy a used ford ranger. I spent $4500 on it. Single cab 4 cylinder stick shift 2 wheel drive crank windows with air. They thought I was nuts. That must have been about 2010 or so. Their Pontiacs lasted about 3/4 years and I still have my ford ranger with 275,000 miles on her 16 years later. I bet its been years since they have even thought about their G3. Mines paid for itself 15 times over. I went from 13mpg to 26mpg driving 75 miles a day.

8 to 10 ounces???? Are you trying to feed them or test the bait? I always test using the same amount i trap with. The amount you use definitely can affect your results.

Nice, but wait until you are old enough that grandkids are lugging beaver for you. You'll like it even better then.

Interlock Kit is about the most affordable way for a handy person to properly hook up a generator to an electrical panel.

You buy the specific silver slide tooling for your panel. Remove the panel cover. Drill and install the mechanism and then it prevents you from having your main or your gen breaker on at the same time. So you can't back feed the main line and the main line can't back feed the generator when the power comes back on. Gens are rated at 30 amps. So install a 220V 30 amp breaker in the top position, run 30 amp wire (usually orange/purple), 4 wire red white black bare, hook it up in the panel, drill a hole through the wall, run a wire to the outside, and put in a 30 amp generator receptacle. Make up a 30 amp extension cord (wire and both ends rated at 30 amps, everything 30 amps!) and you are off and running. Make the extension cord 4 wire too and the ends 220 30 amp plugs. Use a generator with a 30amp 220v outlet with four plug holes / posts. (thats the red white black and bare)

The draw back is it doesn't do the automatic start thing. But they make a remote start generator that can be hooked up and all you have to do it throw the breaker and hit the start button. (That way someone can do it while I'm away.)
((they make gens that are tripple fuel use options too, Diesel, Gas, Propane.))

If you have a barn or an out building far enough away from the house that's safe for running the generator in I suggest putting the gen outlet there and installing emergency lighting in that area that comes on when the power goes out.
(Out in the barn you can run a 50amp circuit instead of 30 amps to allow for a bigger "barn" generator.)

(make sure gas carbon dioxide can't go down the conduit to the house or something crazy, not that I am recommending that you do this or anything.)

Got most of those plants out except for the tomatoes. Beat the rain hilling a row and planting but got soaked taking the trash down the lane. Like if I had my wallet on me I'd had to head to the house raining. I finished taking the trash down and just wrung out when I got back. Its raining pretty hard in this picture.

It’s a lot safer doing HV work than LV with all the handcuffing safety procedures. There’s always some jobs that just can’t be done by following procedures, then the utility turns a blind eye and if something happens, it’s on the employee for failing to follow procedure…..lol. Their butts covered.
The tree/chainsaw module these guys/gals read in trade school, then the 6 hour practical course isn’t enough for someone that’s never ran a saw. I’ve seen certified UTT arborists that shouldn’t be dropping trees either. Some should stick to limbing……lol

I believe the thinking is that everyone has worms and our doctors don't treat them. There is a theory that waste from the worms can cause bloating and cancer. Said a friend.

He and other old bands are out there on tour. I haven't been to any shows, but I figure they start promptly at 7 pm and are done at 9:00...maybe 9:30 with an encore? laugh

I think there is no need to treat younger stumps. Heterobasidion seems to require significant volume of wood, roots specifically, for the mycelium to establish and overpower the immune system of the host, let alone start producing fruitbodies. It probably outcompetes other fungi in the conditions when there is enough volume in the roots and the protective ectomycorrhizal fungi are repressed by poor soil conditions. It continues to grow sapropytically and fruit prolifically even when the pine is long dead, until the roots are completely decomposed, but I've only seen fruitbodies on partially decayed stumps that were at least 7 inches wide. Small trees probably don't have enough volume to support the fruiting. Heterobasidion does produce conidia that probably can persist in the soil but as far as I understand the main concern is the spores from the fruitbodies.


Some soils are just intrinsically bad for some pine species and Heterobasidion species will always be an issue requiring constant attention (borax, Trichoderma, etc.), or just giving up the idea of growing pines alogether or changing certain practices (how densely the trees are planted, and how much sunlight reaches seems to affect survival drastically). Here, it's a key pathogen of the Scots pine, the most abundant and economically important pine in Eurasia. The Scots pine trhives on sandy low-nitrogen soils, from dry to bogged (peatbogs are also almost exclusively Scots pine), however if/as nitrogen levels rise it's outcompeted by deciduous trees and/or oher conifers and Heterobasidion becomes more common. I rarely observe Heteroasidion in natural pine stands, but it destroyed several planted pine patches in my neighborhood where two key factors seem to have been neglected (wrong soil and insufficient/untimely thinning and insolation for that soil type).

9 a gallon right now, supposed to go up soon. Usually get two fuel deliveries, one summer, one fall. Yukon ice has not went out here yet, but any hour it should.
