60+ year old thread.

When I lived in California as a kid I too was highly allergic to poison oak. It put me in the hospital a few times, eyes swelled shut, etc. When it bloomed and the pollen spread it was a nightmare for me. Never had poison ivy here in Michigan

 

Growing up, my mom's good friend was highly allergic to poison ivy. One of their neighbors had a small burn pile in an open area behind their houses and without realizing threw some poison ivy on the burn pile. Mom's friend, Anna, happened to go outside while the fire was burning. Inhaled some and ended up in the hospital as a result.

 

Well, yeah, those breads are good. It’s those nasty wonder white breads that will kill you.

 

I get a small dose of poison ivy every year.
Usually golf related. But never severe thank goodness

 

Generator ran on-off all day, yesterday. By late evening, it had settled down, ran about 30min. then off. Looks like power is on and holding once again and was on all night. ! says it all.

 

Only one way to get rid of the stuff, need to pull the roots out. I always wore old cloths, shoes but newer gloves. When finished I just put all the cloths in the trash. I hate poison Ivy. When I first moved into my house the trees were infested with the vine.

Good morning. HVAC contractor #2 in today for a quote. Going to smoke a chicken on the rotisserie today. Another busy day.

 

Goats love poison ivy. Sadly they like everything else as well.

 

Good morning all.

Had fun yesterday as i was able to get the Camaro out of my garage and fun cruising around town .

 

I love OWLS. But the Barred owls around here and all the racket at night gets crazy.

 

BAPS runs Saturday nights. I need to call you soon. Been a little hectic lately for me, some work, some personal issues.

 

Works for me. We could rock out both tracks in a few weeks. Same week if you’re nuts. lol. Call anytime.

 

I envy you, I have to sit in the woods for hours,days,weeks,months to see one of these magnificent creatures....

 

We have quite a few here.
Sometimes 3-4 light up at the same time.

 

I like all owls, they are cool birds. I’ve heard Barred owls in the northern sierras but never actually seen one. First time I heard one was late at night and at first it gave me an uneasy feeling. Didn’t sound like owls I’ve heard before. Then I figured out what it was and all was good.

 

We had a barn owl in South Dakota. It would launch and the little birds would be on it like chihuahuas on a Rottweiler. They would harry it relentlessly and even ride on its back, picking at its head. The babies would wander around the ranch, maybe as far as a hundred feet from the barn. You'd see this big, grey ball of fluff on the ground, and twenty minutes later it would be in the top of a tree.
Where we live now there is a pretty good sized owl that we've seen roosting in a tree across the street. Got to love the sound it makes, hooting in the dark.
