The males are 1.5 inches long but have no stinger. The females get over 2 inches long and have big painful stingers. They can carry a cicada and fly a hundred yards with it. I have seen a couple of the females climb out covered in the insecticide. I also saw one land carrying a cicada and drag it into the hole. Creepy!

After it rained all night, they are out and about at 7 a.m. If I can find these death funnels, I can set up some traps with bottles of orange soda and a little soap. You poke a hole in the side of the bottle and push the funnel into it. They climb through the funnel and drop into the liquid and die. Before doing the reno, I put the box somewhere and now I can't find it.

I’ve felt that way many a time!

 

[Tom Picciani]

Primed and painted bench, cabinets and doors. Rushed the doors and puddles paint in corners. Scraped it off and sanded it smooth. Will repaint with a brush tomorrow. Spray guns work great if you don’t apply too heavy. And I did!

Got my rider running so quiet my wife came out to check on me. She could not hear it in the house.

Never was any good with a spray gun, even when I worked painting combines.

Just a thought... Maybe use a small brush, even a tiny foam brush to lightly paint those inside corners, then immediately start spraying. That way less time trying to hit the corners.
I don't paint much either Rusty.... 'cept rattle can.

 

[Tom Picciani]

Results looked better when I dropped setting from 4 to 3. Going to brush everything else indoors. Don’t have enough to justify spraying and the cleanup involved.

Tom, maybe a 1" or 3/4" brush and lightly do the entire perimeter inside joints, then spray.
If that don't work, it's not my fault.

 

[Tom Picciani]

Need to run to Lowe’s anyway so I’ll pick up a couple

 

[highup]

If you do, buy a good one that's flexible. A regular paint brush holds a lot more paint than those foam ones..... but I suppose depends on spraying or brushing.
...either way, it's not my fault.

Dinner time at the kegger-Q

...to do my part to save the earth, I'm cooking the other two patties using the recaimed hot charcoal from tonight's meal. They micro up surprisingly delicious...... like Lucky Charms.

you need to put a couple ears of corn on. Smear with butter and grill on high. Then put on more butter at the table!

....did that last time, but forgot as I was shopping. Our Kroger store is all torn up...... Cash registers are now in the shoe section. Not sure where the shoe sections is now and they don't either.
...forgot to get cheese too, but luckily had a bag of shredded cheese. Tastes the same.
I buy onion buns and grill em first so they aren't cold and soft. Works fer me

Drawers are in. Bottom one is a little wonky. Sticking out on right. I think the left track is out of square.

Looks good to me Tom. I've never installed tracks before. Always wondered how you line up the drawer part to the cabinet part and have the drawer centered evenly.

A square is a great help.
