I had a (adult?) red fox show up in my back yard and hang around for a few hours a while back. I got worried at first since it was broad daylight and did not seem scared, but it never came close to the house. It lounged and played around like it was chasing some of the gophers in my yard. At that point I would have built it a house if it chose to stay and kill those dang things.
I think they are beautiful and it had been years since I saw one.
Some evidence suggests that the fox was kept as a pet companion by early people. even before the dog. I can see why when I watch them.

in the dump at the recycling center
To save you some work in the future (if you do something like this again) there are boards like Freecycle and Trashnothing that you can post stuff free to give away. Then have people pick it up. As long as you are ok with people at your house. I gave away a pile of leftover gravel and form wood away that way. I also gave away some old furniture that way too. Sure beats trips to the dump. I bet there would be interest in river rock.

We used to see this when my Papaw had bees. Sometimes they would swarm and leave or sometimes he would go to someones house to cut a swarm out of a tree to bring to an empty hive. It used to be pretty common when bees were way more plentiful.

Wow. I shouldn't be surprised, but the stupidity... I was hoping he got bit.
He does happen to know that killing a native species of snake is illegal in most states.
And the "gang" symbol hand gesture at 39 sec. just cements how TOTALLY stupid this guy is.
Just walk around the snake and keep going unless you are in a situation where you need a food source.

Nice, but I have a feeling the effect would wear off quick...unlike a 12ga slug.

And would you be willing to 'appropriate' a few ? I'll pay the going craigslist rate for stolen faux boulders
Most days I like opportunities to improve my income . That would be a painful story to explain in jail though. "I stole fake boulders"

A lot of strip malls and apartment complexes near me are using these to hide water or electrical boxes so that it is "more aesthetic" It is better than burying them where you have to dig them up.

We have enough trouble with electronics at dinner without the centerpiece chiming in. lol

Look up crow traps. They make kinds you can catch a bunch in at once.
If you do, then you can dispose of, relocate, or cook them up.

A more perplexing problem for me at least, is how to keep crows out of the garden.

I'm not turning the outside of my house into Fred Sanford's place just to chase off the occasional gutterpecker.
I suggest a Red Rider BB gun then. Lol

I have not had this issue, but most of our windows have screens.
I do have the woodpecker on the gutters sometimes though. Mine is always early in the morning on a weekend too.

Yes sir, it's all hand stitched. Sometimes I wish I had a machine, but there's something therapeutic about it.
I understand. I am still at the piddling stage, but I like sitting with my lacing pony. My only issues is that I stress over the design long before I even start making it. I over plan things like that.

Looks like some good solid work. Are you hand stitching?

Ok, so not quite as classic, but my first car was a blue and white 1980 Cadillac Coup Deville. The trunk was big enough for a 6' 2" man to stretch out in, you could (*cough*) sleep comfortably in the back seat, and the fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror topped it all off. I loved that car in spite of it needing an engine rebuilt. 35 was max speed on medium size inclines. That probably saved my life though as I had one heck of a lead foot. I hated when I had to sell it. I ended up driving a crap brown Pontiac 6000 for years after that.

We use hilti for 98% of our tools. Dewalt is always trying to get more of our business and I keep shutting then down. Only downside to hilti is non of their stuff is automotive.
Upside we find of Dewalt is that our guys can run by Lowes and buy a new drill or whatever if one dies and they are not close to the office.

I know you have probably already looked, but the 2017 Standard Catalog of Firearms states the post ban Colt Match Target Lightweight is valued at 900 nib, 800 exc, and 650 vg. Take that with a whole spoon of salt though with the way prices are diving.
I do not see a definite match for the DPMS there.

Peejman I can't say I have. Dad had lots of vinyl with street racing songs, but I don't remember this one.

yep, your wife's uncle, I hear it all the time-- funny thing about Ramblers.
I never knew they existed growing up. Of course my dad is a Chevy guy, so we had a 60's Chevy van, a Nova, then an Astro Van. Not a lot of brand variety. lol
Honeybees...you ever seen em do this??!!?
