So I tested my bodies endurance, and survived. I know that it doesnt matter, and people have done worse. But I just wanna babble.

Yesterday I decided it was time to start cleaning up flood debris from last weeks flood here in S/C Texas. I started with all the junk trapped up against a cattle guard and fencing. After a few hours of pitch fork, shovel and front end loader use, I had my fill of fire ant bites. Those little critters can get into all kinds of places before they start to bite. Fom my knees to my feet I have no less that 3 dozen bites....I stopped counting.
Since I had my fill of the fire ants...I was off to the barn with the tractor. I stopped by this Pecan Tree that had been hit by lightning. I was gonna push the tree down from where it had snapped about 10 feet up, but not yet seperated from the trunk. As it was just about to come loose and fall....I noticed all these little mayfly looking things coming around the tree. Nope. I never thought they were bees until they were all up close and personal. So I backed up, then stopped, took it outta gear, and ran. Waited a few, and went back for more. Bad idea........so with my 3 dozen fire ant bites and 18 or so bee stings....I went home. I took 50mg of Benedryl, sleot for three hours. Then I spent the rest of the night in and out of sleep with sweats and chills. Wow, was that fun. Think I'll wait for fall and hibernation before cutting up this tree.

 

Sounds like you need to try out for Fear Factor.
50,000 might ease the pain a bit.

Sounds like you need to rent you a spray rig. Spray the ants and bees with soapy water and you troubles are over. It takes the wax off of the bees wings and they can't fly, gets in their lungs and they can't breathe. Chokes the heck out of those darn fire ants too.

 

ants can live underwater

 

They can live underwater, but they cant live on fire. For really intresting way to kill fire ants, can of off and a firepit lighter.

 

ironic... killing fire ants with fire... I LIKE IT!

 

sounds like an interesting day. j/k.

pretty interesting "stupid human trick"....hey, didnt i see u on letterman one night?

 

A friend of mine was working for a road clearing crew weedaeting a fence row and ran into a ground hornet nest.got all stung up and went to the hospital for a few days.So he gets out and he's MAD,gets 5 gallons of gas and a funnel and heads out.pours the gas into the hole and runs a trail adout 10 feet away,just as he lights it he thinks"boy, thats really alot of...BOOM", It blew him down,blew out the fence row and on the other side of the fence was an old cematary he didn't know was there.He said he opened his eyes and he was smoking from head to toe and there were tombstones on fire and chunks of burning dirt falling from the sky! ,he said he just knew it was all over.After another trip to the hospital and an eyeliner pen to draw in his eyebrows he was able to laugh about it.
