I have a poster on my wall at work from this company, well, actually I have several, but the relevant one doesn't appear to be in their catalogue any longer. That one had the caption, "That which doesn't kill you only prolongs the inevitable."
It looks like that storm turned and intensified a bit. Not only will it hit more heavily where I’m at but it looks like my home might get some of it too.
Oh yeah, I already got a new roof. My biggest concern is the mold in the attic. We’re still without power and so I can’t run dehumidifiers without physically being there to refill the generator. So any extra moisture is pas bon.
Yeah, during Hurricane Laura my dad let some contractors sleep at his house for free. He cooked for them and everything.
When Ida hit he reached out to one of them and asked to give me priority, so they came replace it last Tuesday. I was literally the first roof they did.
And you may have to do a volte around your house before entering it

1. Roll them up in as many blankets and towels as needed to completely immobilize them from the neck down.
2. Crush drugs – with the side of a glass or jar
3. Push this mixture into peanut butter
4. While sitting on the victim, use the towels to grab the forehead and the chin and pull apart
5. Have your accomplice stick the druggie peanut butter mix past the sharp front teeth – back by the molars
6. Wait until most of the mixture is swallowed
7. Get off your dog and let him free to drink water
Baci will be really wise to us approaching with blankets and towels next time!

Wow you had to do all that for a Dog,
For my old Dog (sadly passed away some years ago)
just shoving it into Peanut butter or any delicious food ie Ham, Chicken, Chocolate Cake would have done the trick, he would have ate it quicker then it took you to put the drugs in the food !!!
My Cat on the other hand if you try that will eat all the food around the pill (even if crushed) and leave the remains in their bowl

I used to struggle with my cat until the veterinarian showed me a trick. If you grab the cat behind the neck and pull straight up, they become slightly paralyzed while in that position.
It feels cruel as hell, but it takes 5 seconds whereas before it'd take... well sometimes I'd just abandon giving the cat a pill.
I had an electrician install a 30 amp outlet so that when we do get power back at the house I can plug in my camper to live in while we do the repairs. Unfortunately when he opened up the breaker box, every breaker was wet and he recommended replacing them.
The good thing is that I'll have all new breakers! The bad thing is that they were already replaced in 2017.

I believe that's a innate response that allows the mother cat to carry kittens. It's not just cats, and it varies by individual animal. A gal I know had a pair of ferrets. If you picked them up like that, one would go pretty much limp, but would still look around. The other acted like it was pretty much dead.

Saw three squirrels today running over my garden and foraging in the leaves - for nuts from my Beech trees? If they're gathering this early, are we in for a bad winter?

I just ran over a yellow jacket nest with my lawn mower and got stung too many times to count. Wow, do those things get aggressive this time of year! I ran into the house and had to systematically kill every one still stinging me. No adverse reactions so far, but man, am I hurting. They are still swarming my mower and I'm going to have to wait until dark to retrieve it.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the nest? It's in the ground at the base of a small cherry tree.

I just realized that they're based out of Baton Rouge. I guess it makes sense with a name like Bengal, although the current Mike is a Siberian/Bengal mix and I feel like a grumpy old "get off my lawn" type man because of it.
in Burgundy, they usually nest in the ground and we treat them with Gasoline and fire at night if the nest is small else any special spray foam such as https://www.lowes.com/pd/Spectracide...Killer/3479819 should do the job, again if the nest is small

I watched a video about a professional removal of a very large nest. The guy used a shop-vac with a mixture of dish soap and water in it. The soap breaks down the surface tension, which quickly suffocates insects, since they breathe passively through spiracles in their sides.
Perhaps it was for the video, but they guy didn't just plant the hose over the entrance to the nest, but put it right beside the entrance, and occasionally beat on the ground to keep them coming out until all the flying ones were gone. He then removed the nest, showing the non-flying cohort that had other jobs in the nest.
However, I should also note that he had the full bee suit.
