Back home again - long but fun day

| No Comments

Picked up a few things for some projects I am working on, got a bite to eat and then attended my amateur radio group meeting. Tonight, we went over some of the fine points of sending digital information over standard radio equipment using a specialty modem that connects to a computer. Very versatile and a lot of fun.

Long day tomorrow too - into town for a potential Craigslist deal and then South to pick up my auction goodies.

Unpack the truck and surf for a bit. We had another tenth of an inch of rain after I left for a total of 0.3" - wet. Long range forecast is for more of the same.

BAD DOG Grace!!! - Grace, my older Shiloh Shepard, stayed home today. She is about six years old and has been suffering from diarrhea for the last two days so I did not want her in the truck all day. There is a dog door that exits into a 40X40 foot pen outside. I came home to find my cat giving me the stink-eye. Grace had lifted her dish down off the hallway counter-top and taken it into the living room and finished all of the cat food.

I am unpacking the truck and notice that the shipping box for the fly-control wasps is on the kitchen floor (it had been on the kitchen counter-top) and then I notice that the bag containing 10,000 wasps is missing. Found it in the living room chewed up and about 90% gone down her belly. The wasps had not hatched out yet but Grace made a nice meal out of their egg casings. Vacuumed up what I could find - the wasps are harmless to people and are about 1/8" long and about as big around as some sewing thread - I had gotten them to control the fly population on the farm. Have to place an order for another 10,000 bugs. The joys of farm life...
