Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

I know you grow stuff @six5crèéd but I'll ask anyone else as well; Can anyone weigh in on a good way to deal with ants on plants? I've got some new potted peppers and herbs and I've started seeing little nests of these red ants I have out back on the plants. I've been knocking them off where I see them but I need a better solution to deal with them. I bought some food grade diatomaceous earth and I'm planning on applying that stuff to the plants because It's safe so if you guys have any tips for using that or anything else I'd love to hear it.

 

Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite me but based on the warning signs leading up to it, I figured I'd risk it and only had them tighten the front 3 cylinders, not the back 3 as there was hardly any cost savings in doing it now.

 

$518 all in.

It would have been an additional $320 if I'd had them do the back at the same time.

 

Trying to cut a 1/4” wide piece of trim from a small scrap piece, got lucky. I only found splinters in the driveway from where the blade caught it and sent it! When cutting it, I heard a loud pop and the piece I was cutting disappeared.

 

Went and saw FreeGuy, Ryan Reynolds new movie. That was a hoot! Lots of laughter in the theatre.

 

Close

 

Heard from the dealer yesterday when I was out for a ride with the family. My tractor has arrived and should be ready to go next week!

 

Hate trim

 

Might have to re pot it, I use cinnamon In my bees to deter the ants

 

Good evening Creed and company. Hope it was a good Saturday for everybody.

Glad you still got the thumb @308savage!

 

I purchased a 1972 Olds Cutlass from my cousin for $500.00 on the condition I eventually sold it back to him for the cost I had in repairing it. It had no rust (AZ) and fresh rebuilt engine and paint. I didn't think it could be major issues because the engine had maybe 10k miles. The problem was a broken rocker saddle. Few dollars at bone yard. But while I had it swapped camshaft, lifters and better headers.

 

My favorite year for the Cutlass..jelly

 

Good weekend so far other than getting into 4 yellow jacket nest yesterday. Thank God I only got stung once on the cheek.

 

See if you can find some “seven dust”. It’s a powder and works good.

 

Glad to hear it was only a single sting, I was allergic to them as a kid and grew out of it I guess. Nice lake, where is that at? Love the smooth water, looks relaxing! Glad to have you back as well!

 

WTF..
SO SO LUCKY

 

Good morning Creed and Company

 

Oh yea..
This is so on today

 

I acquired a pre-1964 Model 100 Winchester in .308 that apparently is fairly sought after. I plan on hunting with it this fall so today is getting it zero'd day.

 

Were there any other issues noted? Honestly, I feel that would have been $320 worth of insurance; I assume that's an interference engine? Valve train issues can get expensive quickly.
