60+ year old thread.

Annie follows the sound of them digging. She's not fast enough most of the time, but trench warfare is her specialty

 

Mine would pussyfoot around where the fresh mounds and burrows were smelling the ground. stop smell more & stand there like he was listening.. Then the 100 mph digging was on , He almost always got them .. It was a trip just to watch...

 

For the really stubborn ones scrape away the dirt covering a hole. They don't like it and will pop up to cover it up.
Sit back with a cold one and a pellet gun to pop it in the head when he looks out.

 

It is a trip to watch... Guess I don't know how many Annie has gotten if she eats the evidence

whack a mole!!!

 

Afternoon all:
Drove down to a Sears store to buy Sears Weather Beater paint, they don't sell paint anymore! Then drove over to the Sherwin Williams paint store, that isn't there anymore !
Noticed on the way down that there was a Sherwin Williams store on the left above where the other one was, so backtracked to that store.
Paint was on sale, plus a extra $10 off coupon was added, total $43.56.
From what the receipt says, I saved a total of $31.90 on that gal. of paint.
It looks like it retails for over $70 a gal., that's crazy!

 

Yeah, paint's not cheap anymore... but what is?

How's it going Carl?

 

I think if I can catch them mounding I'll just use a shovel the plop them out and smash the shit out of them. Next week I'll have time to scan the hill if you will.

 

Ok you, use that "DownEast logic".....A bag of lime, A solo cup around each new area,then in open holes,give em a "love dusting"
We use it for snakes but "in their eyes" will stop your critters also.....

 

That's the problem. I've limed the lawn twice and no open holes. I can't use any more or I'll shock the grass into submission.
Oh btw. How are ya ????

 

I expected that you were using it for "cover"....BUT I mean just saturate the mounds,then fill holes........and what the he!! do you know about submission

We are doing well, Connie leaves for NH mid-July for her Soccer Camps,then onto China to help our daughter with her 1st child till October...I start at the New Freightliner Dealer on Monday....Office work and set hours showing my age...

And you,????? behaving and still tuning your race cars....

 

Good for both of you...
Congrats to your daughter, hope all goes well.
Yes still tuning , behaving,,,,,,, not so much.....
The older you get, the more you can get away with.

 

Hi Sue!
Going as usual!!
Couldn't believe that Sears doesn't sell paint anymore, their Weather Beater Ultra was a good paint, but I read that it was made by Sherwin Williams.
I did get the zero turn mower that I was going to look at, and just got done cutting all the low hanging branches that the roll bar would hit!
Earlier I burned all the wood that I ripped off of the garage, facia is on, now I just need to get new soffit up and then paint.
Then I can start on some other projects!!!!!!!!!!

for office work and set hours. Congrats on the grandchild.

 

Morning all. It's a shame about Sears Weather Beater Carl. Loved their paint. Sherwin Williams isn't all that good and expensive as well. Best paint I've used ( I hate painting so I don't use much paint) was Benjamin Moore.

Good luck with the mole problem Mike. never had them so can't give you any advice.

Have a good day all and a happy and safe 4th

 

Morning all:
SURE; now you tell me that!
I'm pretty good at painting, but like you I don't enjoy it.
Like everything else, there's paint and then there's paint. I would rather pay a premium for good paint and not have to do it as often.
I read some reviews, and came up with Sherwin Williams; sure glad I didn't have to pay full price for it!
Some of the best reviews were on the Sears Weather Beater Ultra, but no longer available.

 

One more day,one more day One more day,one more day One more day,one more day, One more day,one more day

 

I am finally feeling better after returning from vacation. I caught some type of cold bug.

Here is a sunset pic from the Grand Canyon. The smoky haze if from the California fires.

 

Beautiful pic Tom

 

Evening all:
Forgot to hit the post reply, so Sue beat me to it!
X2!

 

Evening Carl
