#6- I had a 1978 Ford Pinto. Yes, a Pinto that would do the same thing. I never kept it up for more than a couple of seconds, since it kills your tires and I was too poor to waste money like that. #10- That pilot has extreme skills. I know how hard it is to hover and hold that steady and he makes it look like an everyday thing.
#8. I'm old. Back in the 50s my father would take us to a place called Caswell Memorial State Park, near Modesto Calif. We would fish between the mosquito swarm just like that. From time to time, a truck would roll around spraying something to periodically kill the current swarm. In those days, it was fun. You'd fish, the swarm would hit, you'd run for protection, and the DDT boys would come around and blast them. And back to fishin'
Last time I was at Caswell (2000s), all the "campers" spoke Spanish and were obviously living there in tents, trailers, you name it. Ghetto AF. No place for fun anymore.
That swarm is the norm for anywhere north of Dauphin Manitoba or Prince Albert Saskatchewan; they hang around until about a week after the snow falls. The ones shown here are pretty tame - they aren't trying to gang-rape you and take your wallet.
I'd do 10 waaaaay before I'd do 9. I don't like snakes for one, and for two linemen make good money, and if I recall correctly, the ones that work from helicopters get a decent amount of hazard pay.
No idea why it's defaulted to publishing as anonymous. I was the one who just said that I'd do 10 before 9 and why. Computers. I work with them and can't explain everything they do.
Yeah, just avoid grand mesa in the summer. It's a mesa - the top is solid stone that's fairly flat. There's thousands of little pongs and puddles everywhere, if you go up you'll get bit, I don't care what sort of deterrent spray you're using.
I'd rather be stung by a bee. The swelling goes away quicker.
One of my former homes was ~200ft from high tension lines, and I've seen them work on them/inspec them from helicopter, but I've never seen them work beneath the lines.
#9 or #10. pick your poison
ReplyDeleteTrue, but #10 makes a shit ton of money

Like…I understand the math of bonding on to live lines and being at the same potential as them…but it just seems like it shouldn’t work.
DeleteDefinitely neither!

I can verify your claim. I fished Caswell a couple times back in the 1980s and got ran out by the skeeter swarms. It was terrible.

ReplyDelete8} Oh hell no.
#2 - it’s the only way those poor creatures can avoid being raped by the locals in whatever ‘stan that is.
ReplyDelete#9 looks like he got bit at least a couple of times. That’ll teach him.
ReplyDelete#5 - ????
ReplyDelete#1 chep in trees. No?
ReplyDelete#10 ... Balls of solid rock, or head full of them?
ReplyDelete#1 - One of the many reasons for me to move from PA to Colorado is the extreme lack of flying insects.

#10, I wonder how much extra that guy gets paid?
