OK, since it's really affecting your sleep I'll stop. I've been sending about 500 a week to your neighbor next door. Just kidding, I wouldn't really do that, I mean I think I wouldn't really do that, I mean I really wouldn't think I'd really do that. Sorry, got distracted looking for the number to the pet shop.

 

You heard the story "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Is there any place close by to fish. Fish love crickets, you love fish. Might help put groceries in the freezer or you could just catch and sell them. The cricket and spider traps Cincy mentioned are available at Ace Hardware. http://www.acehardware.com/mystore/storeLocator.jsp Chickens might be a nice addition to the hat household and they love crickets. Fresh eggs in the summer and fried chicken in the winter.

 

Good point Rick

Another thing to think about is to raise rabbits. Not a big expense and they well... multiply like rabbits....

Not to mention good eatin too.

 

Now if I could just figure out how to plant money

 

A while back History channel had part of a show on that. Guess they finally identified Little Miss 1565. Kinda sad.

Obvious Post

"They will soon be transformed into ghastly insect graveyards, which make great gifts". Now I know what chaikwa is getting for xmas

Gotta go back into town for some bnc adapters for the cameras. I was just in there getting some wire. Gotta start making a list.

 

He can quell riots, fight any enemy, even conquer countries. But give him a few crickets...



Thanks PAL! And to think I wasn't going to bother you, uh.. I mean, GET YOU anything this year!

Yeah. Considering it's probably a 2 day drive to get there and back, a list would probably be a good idea!


Afternune all.

 

HAHA!


Evening everyone, work went well today but it was HOT out there. Going out to dinner with the wife tonight..

And remember...

 

hey all, for T-rad ,up here our farm owns the land that gose over the back side of the hill right to about 4/5ths down the local ski slope,tthey set off the fireworks at the bottem of the slope so this IS THE BEST SEAT in town, so we got all of the youth group trotted though the back 40 down though the woods only to find my cousen standing with her posse [really,her kids and their friends] and THEN i get told that the cops are on 4wheelers with spotlights , and thet she just watched them bust the neighbors sitting on the top of the slope ,not sure if they were on the farms land or not ,anyways the cops walked'em down into town ,somebody had to go pick'em upso my cousen decided to go back to her house and watch the big one's over the tree line, at this piont i was'nt thrilled shall we say [i cant say that the cops were'nt trying to keep people safe, just thet they locked down our seats ] so anyways two -three years ago we had logged right above the slope so we simply hung a left onto another logging road and parked'em , i was told the view was decent , i don't know i was to busy checki'n for cops so there you have it my 4th of july

 

Afternooner...
Had a rough day at work, even if it was a half day. Bout to go pour a beer and work on the CRICKETS!!!

 

MATT!

At least the power plant has A/C!

So if it was YOUR land, why would you be scared of the cops? You New Englanders are a weird bunch!

Sorry your day stunk Mark. Watch those crickets, they bite!

 

Evening yall

Pizza for supper, hadnt had that in a while.

Had a good swim. Then it rained, got wet swimming, again.

Wont be up late tonight, tired.

 

Scott!

LOL, no they have AC not A/C!


Mark, offer the crickets some beer. maybe they'll pass out.

 

You caught that!

 

I was going to post something along the same line. My Hero has a worthy foe and his name is Jiminy.

Sounds like as good a way to spend the 4th as any.

Took me awhile to figure out where you got that from. I like it!

 

Ah, it did not stink, just hectic. Had to get on to two of my Sgt's, and had one get upset today. The kid that got upset is a great one, so I'm trying to help him out. Kinda feel bad that he is so stressed out, but he's a great Marine, so we're continuing to push forward.

I did not know that crickets bite, but I'm not scared...

I was thinking about a truce. They could cricket during the day, and I could sleep at night. I'll be more than happy to bribe them with beer, or whatever they want. I'll continue to offer them poison until they shut the heck up.

Ok, had a beer or four, working in the back yard... cleaned up the pool, changed a hose by myself (wish you guys could have seen that, there was water everywhere...) bout to get some rocks from my neighbor if he texts me back in the next few minutes...
