You don't do that during the day when the little f--kers are awake and can see you. You do it at night with as little ambient light as possible and using astronomers' red flashlights. (Or night-vision gear if you have access.)
A utility worker showed me a can of fast acting insecticide (hornet wasp) that sprays about 25 feet, that the power company issues to all its linemen. It works! A steady stream for 5 seconds on the nest has the wasps just dropping to the ground.
I like to keep those big hives under the window awnings for a good reason. Not that I live in a high crime area but it is a good form of security. I'm just really careful during the warmer months when mowing. Ohio Guy
#9 Really much better to do that sort of thing at night, preferably with red LED lights only, i.e. turn off the porch light. Completely prevents them from flying if it's dark enough. They're unable to see pure red light at all.
Depends on where the feline is on the bell curve. I've had some that were pretty sharp for a small animal. And a couple that were furry doorstops... Dogs are like that too. That's why I like German Shepherds.
We currently have 2 feral kittens we adopted about 6 months ago, and one of them already knows 3 or 4 words. I can guarantee you'll be mobbed by both if you just day "treat". I think cats can be as smart as dogs, they're just more selective at showing it.
That rig would set you back at least $100k. Maybe more depending on the lens. I remember paying $8 grand for a hard drive capable of HQ video capture. Probably wasn't bigger than 1 or 2 GB. And I needed two.
Somebody forgot to hook up the safety wire. Which is a safety violation in the Industry. I'm sure our favorite film industry apologist will say it's not required. But it is.
#2 there are times I want to do that. After a long shift putting up with dumbass drivers cutting me off and brake checking me cus they are about to pass their exit that they could have used safely by staying behind me.
There's gonna be a lotta screaming and yelling and then it'll get turned in to the insurance company with the video of how and where it failed. Especially if the video was on the same model mount...
#9 If ya aint got the balls to do it, then leave it alone.

DeleteAnother of the 1,000's of uses for WD-40. Works surprisingly well and with the new cans squirts good-n-far too.

How selfless of the woman in #10 to provide a padded backstop to keep the horse from hurting itself.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the other way around. That was quite a bounce off that colt. I wonder what shape her backbone is in now.
DeleteGood eye, had to watch again…poor horse!
DeleteGonna be a good cutting horse.

ReplyDelete#4 considering all that ice could cause that ship to turn turtle the deckhands are working pretty nonchalantly.
ReplyDelete1. People say you can't train cats like you can dogs because they're too smart. I have cats. They're ball bouncingly stupid.
ReplyDeleteMine aren't.

ReplyDeleteIt was a camera that got tired of being used and abused and decided to say Buh-bye.
DeleteThat's a high-end video camera on a stabilized gimble. That was a very expensive boo-boo.

ReplyDeleteWatching that lens go bouncing into the air was painful.
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 reminds me of my time offshore Greenland.
