You know, a few years ago, “they” said on TV that new study showed pulling the tick out caused it to excrete its bad mojo into the host. “They” said to put rubbing alcohol in a small cup & drown the tick and it would back out without excretion. Well, it didn’t work.

Well you can't using the watered down version of rum.
Over proof-works well I hear.
We have a jar with 99.5% pure alcohol in it, those suckers still wiggle around in it for a bit.

A few years ago I found one walking on me, threw it in the sink. Ran the hot water for a few minutes and I figured it was done.
Went into the bathroom an hour later and there it was in the sink again just waiting.
There's articles (research) that claim that they can detect the carbon dioxide from a mammal 30-40 ft away.
So they're already all grabby with there front legs by the time we walk by.

Some folks are wrapping the lower leg with tuck tape so they don't crawl up.
Now just a note of warning:
1: Wrap over pant leg
2: Sticky side out
3: Just below the knee
4: Because if you wrap on the bare skin with sticky side in it's called a Brazilian hair removal.

Just curious, @Blak bart , have you ever found enough shards in an area to be able to piece them together?

Morning's greetings and hallucinations to all. May you have a blessed day.

Yes I have WD....but only a few pieces....I've never found all of the pieces to one complete object.....but I've come close !!

Good morning, traveller. Again, thank you for the blessing. While yesterday started off rough, it ended with my #4 grandson spending the night. Right now, I am hallucinating about Thomas the train blowing his whistle and relocating cargo all over the island of Sodor.

The reason I ask, is because that’s what I try to do. And, several pages back, you posted some pottery that was yellow with (I think) blue and white rings/stripes. I ran out of time that day, but I had just recently seen the pottery on an Ohio history site. Article was about archeological Ohio sites digging for this pottery. They had many samples with none of them fully reconstructed. I guess I didn’t realize how important some of these pieces are.

 

[Blak bart]

They are key for me WD.....I found 1600s, and possibly late 1500s pieces here.....that tells me to put the coil to the soil.....there could be old spanish coins !!

You are welcome, Lady WD. Time with grandkids is golden.

Mornin all.

Bart still hauling in the goodies!
O.T. making me become a rotten egg.
W.D. still entertaining ticks.
Mornin T777!
P.J. is in the house too!
Cap'n still in his silks. And likely getting into his cups. (Rum of course.)
Z.K. ghosting in as a retread and having flashbacks / blashfacks to the rubber room.
A lot of those "colorful" characters participating faded away over and with time.









Widow maker came down out of a maple out front in last nights rain and stretched out on the driveway.. About fifteen feet of a top that's been dangling a couple years after a heavy blow.
A good thing.

Better on the driveway than through the roof.
I see it as easy picking firewood.
Yes, many from the RR days have indeed faded into the fabric of time.
Many are still here and that is a beautiful thing.

Morning Trav.
May your day's list be short and sweet.

Morning RC
I think you posted a something, my service sucks worse than a tick.
I'll have to view again once I'm in the city.

Thanks pepper. You are a goodun.

Any of you folks ever have a roadside firewood stand or know anyone who has ?
I am looking for real world pros/cons and do's and don'ts.

They just finished the 5G upgrade on the tower by my home the other day.
I've had comcast fiber business class internet before and it is slow by comparison to the 5G.
I tested it yesterday and was getting at max 303 megabits of per second.
Divide Megabits by 8 and you'll have your actual speed.
In the case roughly 37 megabytes per second.

I remember 1988 and using a Commodore 64 with a blistering fast 2400 baud modem!
It would take days to download a single megabyte!
Of course in those days a large program fit on a double sided 5 1/4 inch floppy disk with 512kb of total capacity BEFORE formatting for use.

Got any coffee ?

Great morning all I'm wishing everyone an amazing and wonderful day. Hope you're all doing well.

Lol! Yep. He made it. Even though he was still following family tradition in getting high before hand. Yeah like no one can tell. Well I can overlook it since I am guilty

Times have changed a lot since I was in HS. There was one kid in my class who got caught smoking pot and he got booted out (private school). Other than that I never heard of anyone else in my HS doing it.
College was an eye opener for me. It seemed like I was one of the few dorm residents who didn't smoke pot. And I still never have.
