382781841_854589849565019_7895615410817400086_n.jpg So I'm having one of those days, just not in the mood for a lot of babble and drama. You warn 'em, give 'em the look, growl at 'em - and they just don't get it. Sometimes you just have to bite their head off to get your point across.

This has been the WORST mosquito season i can remember... usually they are bad this time of year but this year is exceptionally bad... there has been a lot of rains for sure which has boosted it.
Neighbors must have standing water around properties or ?
Also.... this is a spider year.... i have seen more spiders this year than in the last ten years combined.
The ole lizards must not be doing the job.... i know that we have had some droughts that affected the lizard populations and it seems the spiders have gotten a foothold... particularly the large huntsman spider like what Pepper posted a while back.

Arrrrrrrrrggggg
Need to find some sort of "deterrent" or natural insecticide for em.
Because of all the diggers mine holes here in the thousands on the leads the mozzie population explodes after rains. The only way I can stop them is wearing a ultra light fishing shirt and cover it in spray. I hate the stuff and dont put it on my skin but everything else I tried failed or wore off too quick during the day. I wear an adaptor cap and spray that too. The adaptor cap is like a legionnaire one but you can pull a cord and cover your whole head and face except for you eyes.

This lovely jumper was on my 3000 tractor steering wheel.
It was hard to get a proper picture as it was coming down to visit.
So I let crawl onto my phone, then put him on the ground.

Just got to where I wanted to go detecting, then rain within minutes. Ah well it's needed I guess.
Got home and the misses had just cooked these. Broccoli, blue cheese and egg coated in bread crumbs fried in olive oil.
She made the recipe up. They were absolutely delicious!
