    Trust me it is not **** like not being a jerk or an a-hole the lad talks some smack he appreciates my approach. My older little brother has a special needs daughter she can't talk much but she can clearly say F you im. She can't say T's. Does not matter physical or mental people need to be given ****.

    I have a Johnson outboard, an Evinrude and a Mercruiser. I'm not strange.

    I am going to go with that set down by the wood shed, the wife has lost a few traps down there.

    Looking at the trees down there I suppose the stub of the branch is important in the set rather than just screwing the trap to a straight tree trunk?

    Yes, it does seem to be better that way for sure.
    Maybe screw a perching board below the trap?

    Have the trap deployed I also put out a ground squirrel trap will see if I get anything any chipmunk or red squirrel kill is a good kill. I am not proud of it last week a chipmunk had tunneled under the corner of the cement patio, Gerty chased him in his tunnel and I grabbed the spray foam and sealed the burrow with a full can.

    There is nothing better than watching your wife enjoy her life, while we may not discuss the expense and trouble it takes to make a wife happy, a happy wife makes for a happy life. I have loved my wife since she was 15 and it has cost me a fortune but well worth it.

    Up until this weekend's rain we were sitting at 0.06" of rain in June. Average temp was 87 with 9 days over 90 degrees. The past couple day's 0.85" of rain will help the crop along another week or so.

    Unsure if this means you caught an actual bird, or if this is another “johnson” motor joke :)
