#5 Chinese Silver Carp. When startled they jump out of the water. They're an invasive species that take over the ecosystem. In Canada if you hook one the govt wants you to kill it and report the location immediately. Al_in_Ottawa
Where most people see a problem, this guy sees an opportunity. Use your imagination. A boat with nets out the sides, drive thru the lake and they just jump right in! Tons of fish meat on the cheap. It would make better dog food than that corn and soy shit they sell. Cat food? Fertilizer? Hell, get a bunch of Asian housewives and they could make fishcakes or better all day long for Walmart! Back in SoCal at Lake Hemet and such the Asians used to ask us to keep the little carp we caught instead of throwing them back. They knew how to use them. Same with the wild boar problem. The problem isn't too many hogs, the problem is not taking advantage of the blessing.
#7 The back molars are always the hardest to get. #9 I will get rid of her with the draw bar. Nope. I guess it will have to be a wheelie. #10 That branch has a bare spot. The dog has spent some time there.
#3: This happens once in a while out here in the West. The field across the road from my house was perpetually FULL of tumbleweed. When the wind would blow out of the east, they'd pile up against the fence surrounding the field. Then the ones behind them would roll right up the ramp created by the earlier blockage, over the fence, across the road, and into my yard. This happened once or twice a year until a grover bought the field and planted grapefruit. ...No more tumbleweed...
Dad lived at one time in New Mexico. They'd let the tumbleweeds pile up on the wire fence and wait for the annual spider migration to set the whole shebang on fire. Tumbleweeds and spiders gone all at once.
I was driving our truck camper north in the Texas Panhandle on our way to Montana when we encountered a tumbleweed blizzard. The wind was horrendous and visibility was very poor. A bunch of warning lights on my 2020 F350 started coming on including the ABS, traction control and about 8 others. I had just bought the truck a few months previously and I thought, “Oh no! I paid all that money for a lemon.”
I pulled into the Ford dealership in a tiny town and asked them to look at it. They said they were busy and they could connect their computer to my truck to look at it in about 5 hours. I decided to push on and we made another 400 miles that day. After we set up the camper for the evening, I started crawling under the truck to take a look and there were tumbleweeds stuck everywhere, but especially in the wheel and brake area near the ABS sensors. I spent 45 minutes pulling out all of the tumbleweeds and cranked up the truck. Viola! No more warning lights.
Why are a violist's fingers like lightning? They never strike in the same place twice! We get the tumbleweed piles when there is a dry first half of the year and a wet end to summer here in southern Colorado. They settle in about 20 feet deep in one dry creek crossing on my road. Major fire hazard, those things.
#5. If that was a sport I would be a fan.
