whadja do today?

[KenJax Tree]

I think I will fill a bowl with bullets and milk and start spooning them down.

One year it rained for 2weeks straight.

We were out yesterday with spade shovels digging little trenches to drain a field. I had a old army shovel carving trenches under the bush, felt like WW2 all over again. I'd shoot anything that moved, was keeping my eyes peeled for an anaconda.

The rivers and stream are full my friends, cottonmouths are seeking dry ground.

A lot of my clients have water problems, they seem so perplexed by it, I tell them they live in Chester Springs.

This client's house is built ontop of a spring, she has pumps, last winter I noticed it dumping right outside the house so she had a guy come in, for 1800 he laid 20 easy feet of pipe which drained into the lawn. The lawn won't drain into the stream down there because the woodline has dumped enough debris on the ground to raise the grade over the years and the root flares of the growth have grown to form a dam.

I do work like this from time to time. We just opened up a little drainage, got it moving so maybe it will dry enough to get a machine in there. I think most of the work is on the lower end of the trough, we will be dredging it out so the upper part in the lawn will drain. Simple! 1800 for 20 feet of pipe!?

Well, if this dredging doesn't work then it will be another 1800 digging in 150 feet of pipe.

Be careful fappin' after eating those bullets, you wouldn't wanna kill the dog or shoot an eye out.

Always take a double dose of the doxy when you get bit. It keeps the lyme away.

How old is that machine? I know you have to keep up with carb emissions in cali but it seems it would be a pita to fit a new engine on an old machine.

What is doxy ?

 

[tree MDS]

What is doxy ?

Doxycycline. Its an antibiotic.

Careful with those ticks. Those little things can take down an elephant!!

Testing takes time. Meanwhile you could be taking the meds preventing the symptoms. The first thing they will do after they test you is tell you to start taking the pills while you wait for the results.

A buddy of mine was just mentioning something about a turbo strength doxy pill they came out with. Said one dose and you're good to go. Not sure if I believe him though. Anybody heard anything about this?

Yeah, my friend is a pharm rep. He said its basically a double dose in one pill that had some stuff in it to make it quickly absorbable.

 

[treeclimber101]

I should have not waited til today to have enough of the aches . I am kinda screwed now til mon/tues

Nice. At least some things are easier in these modern times. I had to take the pills for a month back when I got lymes.

You have to start taking the meds ASAP the sevens you realize you got bit.

I hear you. I'm really bad about that stuff. Had a tick on my neck a while back.. pulled most of it out with tweasers (I know, not good). Was months ago and there's still a small red spot from it. No ring ever formed though. Had one on my sac a month or so ago and just pulled it off. I guess I feel fine (relatively speaking). Those were brown ticks though, so maybe I got lucky? I'm gonna go to the doc next time though, you're right!! Nothing to mess around with!

Its actually kinda amazing I'm still alive in general, now that I think about it.

Get one of these, they work great.

 

[KenJax Tree]

Looks like it works great on your dogs hair, but what it embedded in your skin?

 

[NCTREE]

I guess the tick would have to be on you for quite some time to be embedded, I have had ticks on my dogs for 2 weeks before I found them and the key worked fine. It works great on people too. What is nice is your not sqeezing the tick with a tweezer when you pick it off, that sqeezing pushes all the bad stuff out of the tick and into your bloodstream. Remember "don't get ticked off pick your ticks off."

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

I just snorted a line a doxy, pulled a tic out of my eye and tossed a bunch of business cards from my old sub work contacts away.

One's slogan was " Returning nature to its roots!"

It had a picture of a big ass timber destroyer.

Yeah, I've seen those. I had something even better for my dog. I used to borrow them sometimes. They were like plastic dikes (think wire cutters, not lesbos), but blunt and had a tiny gap. Those things got everything out.

Just bought the same machine with shot bearings. You happy with the power? Any pointers on issues to watch for? Does yours have auto sweep?
