Hornet in ear-hit head on shockmount

If I had an ice pick in my hand instead of an oil filter wrench I might have really hurt myself. I have baking soda and an ice cube on the sting. Im going back out after them as soon as it finishes cooling off. Tell my mother I love her.

So how many times did you hit yourself in the head with that filter wrench?

If the baking soda doesn't help (and it should), try meat tenderizer.

Do you have a nest nearby or was he just a stray?

You need to find an old man that chews Red Man. Get him to spit a big fat one on your ear. That's what my wife's grandpa did to any injury he was around. I don't know if it healed anything, but you would certainly not concentrate on the sting anymore.

They're always looking for empty, cavernous spaces in which to build a nest, so maybe...

Took a while but I found the nest. They put it right under the overflow bottle.

And yes, I did hit myself more than once,
No I won’t find some old guy to spit in my ear,
Yes I do blame chaikwa,
No I didn't "flail" around; it was more of a controlled modified snake dance.
And I thank you all for your concern (not).

Doesn’t hurt much until I answer the phone. No hornet spray so I used some WD-40. I would have set fire to it but I need the truck.
