Have a smooth, happy day....

Try this: fill a small brown paper bag up with paper or plastic bags and hang it near their nests. They think that it is a hornets nest and will avoid the area. It particularly takes care of wood borers.This ol' board is slowing down for the summer.
A fairly slow day for me, working from home.
Continue to battle with a horde of small wasps with sharp stingers -- at least according to my wife who has been hit twice and swelled up both times.
They seem to be everywhere -- I've knocked down a half dozen small nests under my porch after dousing them with poison spray. And I must have shot down two hundred out of the air with this foamy spray my wife bought, but I don't think you can beat them by killing them retail. That theory hasn't worked from the Chosin Reservoir to Khe Sanh to Fallujah. It looks like they've crawled or gnawed into a little seam between my porch and a new door I had installed into the house. I was going to seal that up with caulk, but I read that was a bad idea, that they would do more damage escaping from the tomb...Ah well. I'm very good at ignoring problems until they go away. We'll have a deep freeze here in 90 days or so. That'll take care of it.
Hope you all manage to ignore all your problems.
Good morning folks.
Very nice steak dinner last night, perfectly cooked and seasoned piece of quality new york strip, a caesar salad and some sauteed spinach with a generous piece of key lime pie for dessert. Then my wife and I watched a passably engaging horror movie, 'Talk To Me,' before sleeping soundly. Got up early and knocked off a four mile run, three mile walk.
I'm heading over the the subway to ride downtown. I think I'll hit the Natural History Museum's paleontology and anthropology rooms while my wife is spending time with her brother's sister at a luncheon. Its a mild and sunny day in the east. Good weekend so far.
My younger daughter is in Peru with her travel-loving boyfriend. I laid out an itinerary for them starting in Cusco, and including the narrow gauge train along the Urubamba River to the foot of the mountain where the ruins are hidden. I did the trip back in the 1990s while writing about the Sendero Luminoso -- the Shining Path guerrillas. They'd been causing problems while led to me having a very nice, uncrowded look around Macchu Picchu. The government had closed it to tourists but I was able to hook onto a small party allowed to make the trip. It's one of those places that doesn't disappoint.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
I use dawn dish detergent and water, not an instant kill but don't take long!This ol' board is slowing down for the summer.
