Yeah, Ole Stevie could invoke the spock-funk elements for sure. The thing I always liked about Stevie's work as one of the originalists was the "lack" of profanity. His politics did me in but I sure liked on his music for a long long time. I still like his music as it is on the same plain as Merle Haggard to me BUT, I don't go looking for Stevie's music much anymore but Merle is worth the search though he may have been on the same plain but he didn't vocalize his beliefs... jmusao
(Pleases me that we almost speak the same language..... the same, but different... )
(Had to instill a little bit of John too.)
My son, home from Lexington, innocently informed his mom (my wife) that he had seen roaches in the stuff he was bringing home because his Lexington roommates had turned their apartment into a squalid pig sty (at least that's who he blamed.)
My wife, who runs a very clean home and is terrified of getting roaches, ordered him to leave all his stuff in the car until he could 1.) douse his clothes in insecticide 2.) seal them in garbage bags until he could run them through a hot wash cycle.
So he just messaged us back not to worry: When he cleaned out the car, he found the roaches dead.
Now that's impressive, having a car so filthy the roaches commit suicide.

I bought the album the first week it came out. Still have it.
I lived off-campus during my last two years (Maxwell St. and Clifton Ave.). Both were dumps but we didn't care. Somehow a rat got in our house junior year. We tried to lure it out by putting cheese on the kitchen floor and then throwing darts at it. Never made a direct hit but eventually we poisoned the critter. Didn't sleep much during that time.
Mix some bacon grease with some borax powder and feed them the concoction. They'll suck it up, carry it back to their hideout, die from dessication and where the little cannibals eat the dead, becoming zombie roaches. Expect your target pest becoming history as it shrinks away. Borax works with crickets too. All earthly orthopterans anyway.

Thanks Rooster. My wife had already ordered up the Borax Solution. And so far we're only plagued by terrestrial pests. (Whatever happened to CatInIll?)Mix some bacon grease with some borax powder and feed them the concoction.

Whoa dude! Sounds like you've got something to talk about. Who better than people who have no earthly idea who you're talking about? Let's have it pal, I smell a mystery.

I've been up on and off of my roof 7 times today. We removed a retractable awning that was motorized. It was heavy. 16 feet long and lots of steel. I estimated 200lbs but it could be more.
No one got hurt, no damage was done to the roof or the awning. Damnedest thing.
Prior to the gutter job, I'm going to push broom my entire roof. I want to start with a clean slate, so to speak.
We discussed that we could, theoretically, clean and realign the gutters, and buy and install gutter guards, for less than the price I've paid. The job would not be done properly and I would still end up having to pay someone to fix it. Expensive, but necessary.

Boric acid works too.

Good to know.
I have been in that position more than a few time but kept coming back to life.
Any idea for stink bugs?Boric acid works too.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday we get a dose of your heat, as it's supposed to hit 98° both days.Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and mostly cloudy in North Austin. Today's high expected around 100°F. Yesterday, we only hit 97°F. Seemed comparatively cool during my afternoon walk.
Precision Heating and Air coming out at 8:30 am and installing a new 2.5-ton Lennox central heat and air unit. Signed contract yesterday. Wife worried current unit might fail.
Heat so severe lately Cap Metro putting limits on MetroRail speeds. Speed limit now 50 MPH rather than normal 60 MPH because rails expanding so much from heat.
Working from home today because of virus outbreak at the office. Pup gonna be happy, especially with AC folks walking around.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Where are they? (The problem area..)
Best treatment for those is to prevent them. If they are coming in your home try determining where and seal off as best as possible, then ensure landscaping is draining away from your home to where excessive moisture can be diverted. I am of the adage of keeping pests from accessing the home. While I am not against pesticides at all, I am a strategic user of pesticides versus a broadcast sprayer of pesticides. (Though in many cases I was a perimeter treater to the max.)
My norm was 4 or 5 gallons outside and a very few ounces inside.

Or some Labrador...
Yeah I owe that ILL Cat or Cat in ILL some pictures of Cumberland Gap but I have just not taken the time to scan them. (Better to owe him than cheat him out of them though...)
We live in a cabin in the woods. We never had trouble with them till we had about an acre near the house cleared of growth, mostly small trees. We haven't seen any since it started getting warmer, but we found several every day the past winter. Jan has dogs and cats, so she doesn't want pesticides. We would just catch them and flush them down the commode. Thanks for the advice. Edit to add, we flushed the bugs, not the dogs and cats. 😁

You need to get to work on those photos BB
. Folks I've been around but like Rooster said, those dang Aliens are keeping me busy. Now that summer is basically here I'll pop in more often. Hoping for some clear skies this weekend at Nolin Lake so I can get some scope time. Anyway, everyone be safe and keep an eye on the sky!Soto could bring the heat!The Reds motto in the 80's was to pitch Soto and then pray for rain the next 4 days.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and clear. Expecting today's high right around 102°F. Maxed out yesterday at 101°F.
New AC installed. Quiet. Cool. Runs great. 68°F = our current temperature inside. Supposed to run unit at 68°F for 24 hours. One of the service techs grew up here in our neighborhood. His father owns an auto body shop near the end of our street. Small world.
Pup stayed in here in the office with me yesterday. She tolerated interior temperatures well when thermometer climbed above 90°F during AC installation.
Happy Friday, y'all.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning folks. It is 60.1°F and partly cloudy on our way to 80°F. As 82 said we are supposed to be hot as Texas come next week.
Forgot to take my garbage out last night, missed the pickup. Dumb and old.
You all have a good Friday.

Good Morning all,
Thank you all for your well wishes. I am feeling better. Yesterday was rough but I guess it had to get worse to get better. I will still stay doped up today... Time for a cup of coffee and a squid/ Octopus?
That's my BIL. We were in Korea at the time when I took this... A real delicacy but speaking for myself, I've ate'em but I'll stick with an english muffin, bagel, or doughnut with my morning coffee. Heck, an apple will do...
Have a great day!
My Darling and I are planning of flying my BIL and SIL over here to visit in honor of my BIL's retirement. (There first trip. I will do my all to repay the kindness they showed us while we were there.)
Another local dish while we were there in my BIL's and My Darlings home town...

I am getting a good laugh at all of these roach tales. When you live where I do, roaches are as common as birds in the tree. There are several varieties of a cock roach and to me the worst are the small German roaches. We do a good job of keeping them out of the house. The big boys with wings are the palmetto bugs or roaches also known as the Florida woods cockroach. You seldom see one in your home as they prefer palmetto fan palms and cabbage palms. But if you do, don't freak out when they spread their wings and fly into your hair. The chameleons keep the roach population down and become your best friend.
Last night my wife entertained me with her screams over a frog in the house. Now the girl is petrified over a frog and living on a lake means we have them by the thousands. Very few get inside but last night was the exception.
I had gone to be bed and drifted off to sleep. My wife stayed up to read. I was in a deep slumber when she woke me with deadly screams of panic and fear. What the heck? I heard the sound coming from our bathroom where she had gone to wash her hands and face before coming into bed.
The frog was jumping all around her and the more it jump the more fear she had. After fighting a losing battle and screaming the whole time for about 10 minutes, she went into the kitchen and got a pot and a strainer. All the time I stayed in bed, laughing my butt off and enjoying the entertainment this Kentucky girl was giving me. The longer I stayed in bed the madder she got and the louder she screamed. I refused to budge.
This morning I went into the bathroom and there was the pot turned upside down. I lifted the pot and no frog. It had escaped. When she got up she accused me of letting it go and said I would pay for the frog's terrorism. HA This story will continue when Mr. Frog returns again. I will have my popcorn ready. Oh, my mama used salt or vinegar to rid the house of frogs. Just put it down in the area and they will jump back in the lake. But I ain't telling my wife that because this is too much fun.

Thanks for reminding me, today is garbage day here. Our pick ups are Tuesday and Friday.
We had a nice rain storm last night while we were all sleeping. Currently it is 78° and our high will be 82° with a 42% chance of rain. The humidity is 87% and winds coming off the Gulf at 9mph. Nice breeze to cut into the humidity.
I trust all have a good Friday and the start of the weekend.
On the contrary, CatinIl, I'm counting on you as the "Dew Line" (Distant Early Warning) to use a Cold War term from my youth to let us know when it is time to get out of DC...I don't want to be a part of this in real time...@MdWIldcat55 , are you saying I'm a terrestrial pest?👽

Small world Sir, out garbage is picked up the same days. My Darling is serious about it and would but knows how I don't want her to touch the garbage so all My Darling does is say, "I'm going to take out the garbage." (But I normally have it out already.)
The truth is out now on BBUK.... there is a food I despise more than gizzards.. This is called Soon dae... I'd eat gizzards as opposed to this ten times out of ten times... My darling loves this.....
Near translation........... Blood Sausage...
