My friend Eric lives to fish. Booked a couple days on Oneida Lake for us and had a great time.

I have to say I was doubly pleased after firebombing my hornets nest, digging it up....and torching it more....(yep, kinda vengeful!), that raccoons or some such finished the job a night or two later, further diggin them up and finishing the job. They must like them roasted!

I judge political intellect by results. I lived through the Trump presidency and the Biden presidency. If any level of honesty is applied to the two, I find it difficult to understand how anyone could possibly rate the Trump years anywhere near the same rating as Biden and Harris years. Not even close.

Nice catch and good eating! Al

The Black Diamond got a new set of clothes today, picked up a like new camo stock and put it on replacing the plain Jane black. Will be doing a bit more shooting with the See-All sight to make sure it will work for me, if it does not measure up I will be mounting a little 2 1/2 Leupold on her.

First Light I have a suggestion that I have learned for the ground bees. It's a little safer and I think more effective. Make note of where the hole is, making sure there is only one entrance. At night, stuff a small rag into the hole and pour a couple cups of gas onto the rag. Don't light the rag on fire. The fumes will seep down and kill the nest, just leave it alone for a day or so.

Funny you post this. Just this past weekend I was on vacation in Sodus Bay at an AirBnB. Got back one afternoon and parked my truck one spot over from where I was parking in the grassy driveway in front of the garage. A few hours go by and we decide to take a walk, I just have to grab the umbrella out of the bed of my truck in case it rains. I drop the tailgate and inside the bed are at least a dozen bees and they are not happy! My wife got stung once before we where able to back away and assess the situation. Turns out I parked my truck in such a way that the right rear tire covered the entrance to their ground nest and they where working there way into my covered truck bed trying to get back home! I think we where both lucky that it was a cool and rainy day so the bees where not super worked up.

That is just scratching the surface, I could add enough stuff to triple that list. Al
