Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

While small infestations can be taken care of by dropping the nests into soapy water, contact insecticides work best for larger populations. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is the most effective. Since this is a selective insecticide, it kills tent caterpillars while remaining safe to other wildlife.

Happy Birthday to the wife.
Had some shrimp in the freezer, only Gluten Intolerant wife and I for dinner tonight, she is fixing shrimp and grits. Lots of southerners seem to really like it. May have to sneak in a chili dog or something later.

It isnt like the States here, Pottz. While getting a shotgun is possible, one has to complete a course, dont know how many hours, pay money for that, pay money for the certificate, have a criminal background check - in my case would be an FBI background check - and pay for that - plus the time-wait of getting it. I dont have any felonies or any serious offences, but it is still a hassle. Even with a bow, like a recurve, ya cant just go out and buy one, you have to get the permission from Authorties first,; and it has to be registered with the Guardia Civil. My bows are Not registered, got them at an estate sale - so if I was to shoot someone, would mean very serious trouble.

Hunting is a thing here, birds, the wild goats, they will even shoot a duck on the rare occasion one is flying overhead. Sometimes, when season begins, my valley is like july 4th, blasts ricocheting all over the valley.

If these critters were in one or two trees, I would just cut down the tree and burn the nest, as I have done years previous. I have burnt two nests so far. This year there are just too many nests. I will let the pest Control deal with it. They are pretty determined to kill off these demons, even spray from helicopters.

True story:
Back when I lived in Palma, the capitol city here, I was walking through a square one day. This was one of the squares where the local kids sold hashish. There was a young guy sitting on a bench, he calls me over. He is like, hey you wanna buy this - pullls up his shirt and exposes a handgun. I didnt see much of it, but it looked like an antique, not well maintained, something one would have hard time getting bullets for. I was shocked, actually, and was like nah, no thanks, not interested. This kid was maybe 15 yrs old. I decide that if I see Police, I am gonna tell them about this kid - eventhough I would normally stay out of something like that. I go out of my way looking for Police. Of course, when you want them, they are nowhere to be found.

There was a farmer who grew watermelons. He was doing pretty well, but he was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat his watermelons.

After some careful thought, he came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away for sure. He made up a sign and posted it in the field. The next night, the kids showed up and they saw the sign which read, "Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide."

The kids ran off, made up their own sign and posted it next to the farmer's.

When the farmer returned, he surveyed the field. He noticed that no watermelons were missing, but the sign next to his read: "Now there are two!"

I am sitting on my Lani, having a cocktail. It is spectacular here.

Mike in a tropical setting we call a patio a Lani (after the island I guess). Fort Myers is know as the City of Palms if you did not know. The town is 50 square miles. Some wealthy and some very poor communities.

I did go into the shop, put on a coat of finish, then proceeded to clean up and put things away. Urn project is coming to an end. I'm happy with it.

Pottz I hope you are making progress on your Urn, and have been able to keep it together some.

Anyone put a router table in your table saw? I am pretty sure I am going to do that , and get rid of my home made rolling router table. Keeping the lift and maybe the fence. Probably won't get much for it. It has a woodpeckers (pre) Pinnacle top and fence now. If you have a router table in your table saw let me know what you think of it.

Yep, Petey, have a router set up in my tablesaw. All my gear is mobile so I can roll it outside, where I usually work, which is great as I dont have to worry about dust-extraction then. Happy with the set up, but if your knees arent what they used to be, I would suggest getting a rig where you can adjust height from top, and change out bits, like the Triton.

Have had one for 20 years. I use it for larger pieces and have another smaller one made into a cabinet drawer. The little guy has a roundover bit I use often.
