    Or a little bonfire celebration of life that got a little out of hand? Never know when the wind is going to come out of nowhere :evilgrin:

    No the bugs are horrible at dark, like run in front of a car if you are a deer bad. Wife did the off yard spray not a dent.

    Hopefully you remembered the red flag on the kayak hanging furthest off the back... Wouldn't want to get pulled over by a cop

    I use them to protect gutters on steep pitches, works like a charm.

    morbid; but true. My old man could go at any time due to his ticker but I have been part of his last 3 moves over the past 10 years and the amount of crap he has shed is amazing. Not kidding; probably over $100k in tools. Went from having 3 big barns to 1 to now none. When they moved from Indiana to a townhouse in Florida last year my mom laid down the law- if it didn't fit in a 20' U-Haul it went to Goodwill.

    He packed it to the gills but even so; I am very thankful for that. Will be manageable to deal with on a weekend when the time comes.

    Took 6 months to move my parents out of Manor Place, that was the actual address. My Dad tweaked when we said Pops it has to go, in his defense I was the same way at the ranch. Tell you what feels so good to have an easily manageable pile of ****.

    So bird feeders up birds coming, watched the eagles fly into my bay to the left, along with king fishers, loons, and herons to fish tonight. I have to start trapping chipmunks and red squirrels.
