BBIIIGGGG SNIP

Hey Spuckle,

OK...thanks for the suggestion.

Brian

IIRC insect mounting pins were quite thin some 60 years ago. I just checked the soft iron wire from the price tags on turkeys, but it's just under 18 thou., real easy to pull straight though.

Hey Gerry,

Pins still are thin....I've ordered some stainless steel 10 and 12 thou insect mounting pins, I'll let you know how this works out.

Brian

All the Best, and a Happy New Year.

Brian Lawson, With a White Christmas !!! in Bothwell, Ontario

I'll see your 'Merry Christmas' and raise you a 'Blessed Christmas'. :-)

Mega-Dittoes, Brian and All!

I stood in the snow in Merlin, OR this morning, installing a new mailbox post for a client who recently moved down here from Alaska. You guys can _have_ that white stuff.

Probably should be "Happy Birthday". To the Christians, anyway. :-)

White stuff? Oh..you mean that stuff way up on the mountain tops way up high?

Shrug..I never get to that elevation

Gunner, who mowed the lawn today.

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

It's hit the mid 20s (F) in Central Florida the last few nights.

It sometimes comes down to visit us here in Oryguns. Luckily, it doesn't stick around most of the time. We're due for 14F temps Thursday night, though. Brrrr! But it kills most of the skeeters.

Watch your email for pics of my new lawn.

Just hung the puppies out the back door and there was about an inch on the ground with the odd flake still comming down.

So when do you plant the corn ,come spring? Got enough room there for winter wheat btw

Btw...put a bumper and a pair of headlight housing on the hedge..and maybe a chrome windshield frame. It would look pretty good.

You actually do have enough space there to plant a decent "stacked" garden come spring

Global Warming Flakes. :)

I'm at a lofty 900' here, dude. (Grants Pass is 960'.)

I've thought about that, lemme tell ya. The West 40 (approx 1/16A) is for my garden. It gets the longest sun.

Nah. I'll have the solar array at the front of the house (where the remaining 2/3 of the birch tree is now) to reduce the length of 12v wiring. I have enough angle iron and pipe to build the adjustable frame now, so I'll TIG it up and install it this winter, before I need it. This 45W system is only for emergency lighting but I might add a leased system to power the whole house some day. It would cost me about the same as electricity does now; maybe a bit more. Luckly, I'm

-not- one of the 1,950 people around here who are without electricity for the past 5 days. 60,000 were out but they fixed lots of downed lines after the snowstorm took down a whole bunch of trees. We were relatively untouched out here in the valley. I saw 4 trees down in Grants Pass during a 15 minute drive the other day. It was a thick, wet snow and broke lots of branches. I had a wrist-thick branch hit my roof from the birch. It's going soon, though.

And much more perennial greenery and flower color, plus a few mounds, will go up there. I'll intersperse edible garden goodies there.

Yeah, I do that now in a single raised bed on the West 40. I'll grow lots more next year, JIC. Non-GMO, non-hybrid heirloom seeds are in the mail to me now, as well as a nice little 55cm Japanese tanto. (My Christmas presents to myself.)

Cool!!

This spring Im going to be turning a significant amount of my side yards to "crops" Even thinking about the north 1/4 of the front yard. Make it fun to come up to the house and have corn up tall

Ayup.

Fresh corn outshines store-bought crap by 12x. Man, what a difference. I use organic compost instead of chemical fertilizers and my crops are healthy and productive.

Nice! Hope you got a real one and not a Pakistani version. My son ordered a 3 blade set some years ago..and while it superficially looked like real blades...it was utter crap from Pakistan. Id warned him..but noooo...he wanted "real blades". He certainly didnt get real blades.....

I felt sorry for him and got him a real set. The Paki stuff is up on a shelf somewhere.

Works for me.
