How'd it go today?

quite noisy for such a tiny saw!

The Stichl 150 has a sound output of 110 decibels, while the Echo 2511 has a sound output of 112 decibels. I bet our American colleagues think you're talking nonsense, especially since they love drilling extra holes in their exhaust systems!

they really shouldn't call something the "outlaw festival" and include rules on the sign...

speaking of, anyone got any leftover fireworks they need to get rid of?

Git lit up by yellow jackets this morning. Five hits on my right thumb near the second knuckle. Multiple hits on both calves. My truce with stinging insects is out the window.

In case anyone in interested, I have found that the very best way to aggravate a large quantity of ground nesting yellow jackets is to run over their nest spot in the tall grass with a riding mower . Luckily, I saw the swarm before I made a second pass. No stings.

Second best way may be to set an idling chainsaw on the ground in close proximity to a ground nest. I did get stung by a couple that time .

I have dispatched three ground nests thus far this season. I'll have to buy some more spray tomorrow, and then this one will get gone too. Nightime ninja work .

There was an Alpine Valley venue near me years ago. I can’t remember who I saw there though. Most likely during the days where I thought I needed to make sure they ran out of alcohol every night. I’m jealous though. I have never had the opportunity to see Willie. Enjoy.

We are tailgating at the moment. Willie and Bob are why I’m here. The weather is perfect over cast 80 nice breezy temp dropping two degrees an hour. If you ever get a chance to see a show here it’s worth it. I’ll get a pic or two when we go in.
