1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

We have a huge Pepper tree in our front yard at our house, had to get it trimmed last week because it was starting to press up against the top of the house. The pollen that fucking tree puts out is brutal. The gardeners looked like they were dying while they were trimming it lol. Felt bad for them

 

[insert Milwaukee tool pic and link by @Sperrunner here]

Plus a "just do it yourself" kind of comment

 

The rednecks out here will just think its a cedar tree

 

I had to get all up in that tree before xmas to hang lights on our house, I couldn't stop sneezing all day after that. Never again

Plus that tree is home to probably a million bees so F that

 

Won't have bee problems if you get yourself a lot of spiders

 

Nope

Bees are totally fine by me as long as I don't accidentally piss one off, been stung several times...last time was actually when we were in the Sequoias. Was on Kings Canyon highway with my window down and the little fucker smacked my headrest and went down the back of my shirt. Damn near swerved off the road when it stung me lol.

 

never been stung by a hornet or wasp though and I will die happy if I can keep that record going

 

Ahh I remember you mentioning that

I don't know why but I remembered that exact incident when something flew into my 4R when I was at Bald Mountain, and thought it was a bee lol turned out to be a fucking small rock I kicked up

 

not a bad idea, I've always wanted a tree house

 

I've been stung by yellow jackets but that's it.

I have a healthy fear of any insect nature put on this planet with the sole purpose of fucking shit up. Bees at least serve a purpose, wasps and hornets are just assholes

 

good god the things people will do for YT content, just why

 

Lol yeah

What do you use specifically?

For camping, I just cut up two water bottles I was drinking out of, put the top half into the bottom half upside down, and have vinegar in one and sugar water in another.

 

I use that white foam that you can spray at the nest from 50 ft away lol. Usually have to hit one or two every summer in the backyard.

Says 'kills on contact' on the can but in my experience that is far from true...probably just say that to make some people feel better.

hair spray and a lighter works pretty well too but here in CA you'll end up on the news for starting another wildfire.

 

You guys need any of this shit?

 

"Monrovia man sets Sequoia National Forest on fire in an attempt to kill a wasp"

Let's not forget, you won't be able to put the initially small fire out since your fire extinguisher blew up on your camping trip

 

Is 100 percent just water?

 

I’d gladly take those alignment bolts off your hands, mine are probably one with the bushings by now. Willing to ship to 64015?
