Grant, you need some Bantam chickens. Last year we were pulling 20-30 ticks off our dogs every evening. This year so far there has only been a couple here and there. We had lots of people tell us that the chickens would eat a lot of ticks. I guess they weren't lying.

With all of this wet weather, the tic population here should just be miserable.

Good morning all.

On the mosquito topic.
Years ago i had to work way up north in BC.
The mosquitoes were triple the size they are here.
and so many of them.
Swarms and swarms!
Never want to go back north again.

We don't get a whole lot at the house, no standing water, since it's too hilly. But, out at the MIL farm, just a few miles away, they are just ridiculous.

I just bought a 1971 Ford F250 prerunner with bilstein 7100's in the front and 9100's in the rear. When i drive the truck the suspension feels like a rock but they are meant to be super plush (I thought). So i am wondering if they are out of adjustment or if that just how they are. If so, what new shock would you recommend? Thanks!

Are those the adjustable ones? I have Ranchos that you can adjust, there is a small **** towards the base of them, numbered 1-9.
