We always keep cans of wasp killer on hand. What sucks is we do alot of stand up monitoring well lids, and you can't see if wasps are in it until it's to late and they swarm you...

Those jumping spiders are quick. I hate those wasps or ground bees, sometimes when you hit a nest, you can't get off the lawnmower fast enough.

I'm with Larry, I keep the wasp killer in the house. As for brake Kleen I stepped up my game on that. I get tired of buying it and having full cans with no propellent, so I now buy brake Kleen in 5 gallon drums.

Option 1 to spray it:
Spray Can Spray Can

Option 2 to Spray it:
Blow Gun Sprayer Blow Gun Sprayer
- basically the 'NUKE ALL' effect.

Haven't had to buy brake clean in 4 years or so.

Larry what's the story on the new trailer?

So.... this thing followed me home today.



Its 36 foot total length. 34' flat, with a 2' dove tail. Took a couple measurements and looks like the new truck will have about a inch to spare between the fenders. My truck with have a inch to spare with the front wheels but the rear is to wide but I'll always be on the back. Length wise with mine just of the flat deck on enough that the back of the tire is even with the back it would leave me about 18" between the trucks.

Good morning everybody!
I made it into Springfield yesterday to a Monster Truck show with some FTE members out here.
Had a nice time, even though a Hyundia Alantra almost won the tough truck competition. Yes really.
Raining here today, and it looks like we have some more storms coming through. No Tornadoes, so it can do what it wants to do outside.
I've already started working on new music for this years Christmas Display. I know, but a 4 minute song can take 40 to 50 hours to do.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I like that Dirt Crew too, but I really got a kick out of the Quad Chaos. It took seeing it a couple of times to figure out that it's a giant atv.

Super nice trailer Larry.
