Amdro Ant Bait 1 lb - Ace Hardware
Baits work the best just have to be patient. They love the oil in this, they start picking the granules up as soon as they are on the ground. Takes a few days to wipe them all out
The Next Red Meat: Why the Texas Emu Farming Boom Failed
This article sums up the history, people still raise them but it didn't turn out like they were thinking back then.
I have been known to use chlorinated carb cleaner/brake cleaner for killing yellowjackets too, with extreme prejudice...but in a well ventilated area away from anyone other than myself taking the exposure risk and no wasp killer close at hand. Using it as starting fluid i'd have to be desperate...
I like the manual trans XJ in green the best. My sister has had one for years, dragged it with her to Europe, Japan and back to the states while in the military. Even got it restored a bit when in Italy. I have tried to buy it from her a few times but its just not happening she won't sell. I...
I wasn't around at the time but it is really cool to watch these old NHRA videos from when our cars were new. The mustang fail at 18:10 mins was a bonus.
Plow dare they! Arkansas leaves Texas side of shared road covered in snow
It's a statewide issue with the lack of winter readiness, Feb 2021 just put an exclamation point on the problem. Even Arkansas gets it right. They've had two years to do something different but here we are again.
Can't...
I wish that the state of Texas could come up with a plan to deal with winter instead of crowing about how great we are and then not doing anything about it. When I was a kid I remember driving on I-20 during a snow storm and there was a TXDOT truck with a load of sand and two guys shoveling it...
Straight solvent is plenty with sonication, methanol (wood alcohol) is easy to source. I used dichloromethane (old carb cleaners contained chlorinated solvents) for an avs but that is more difficult to find and more hazardous to work with.
Just clean with the strongest solvent you can find when using ultrasonic baths, the parts have to be completely immersed. Can also add a small amount of acid. We use these in the lab frequently for instrument parts.
Reagan didn't fix it. Volcker and the federal reserve fixed it by raising rates relentlessly to control inflation. Fast forward to 2022, the pandemic and Ukraine war upending everything, now the fed is trying to use the same playbook. There will be pain, hopefully for all of us it levels off...
Here is a forum thread for YOM plate restoration that I'm using as a guide, there are a few posts about NY state plates that may be useful for you. It is an old thread though so may not be current for DMV purpose:
Vintage License Plate Restoration:
The trick with the 1970 texas plates is the...
I'm looking at switching to YOM plates for texas, I found out recently that it is an option. I have a set of 1970 texas plates that I've been advised needs to be restored in order to use for YOM registration so need to order the correct color reflective paints and such to do it. If that is an...
Same with me. I drove the 70 RR for years in NJ with the QQ plates all over the tri-state area, carlisle PA and all points in between and had no issues. People get down on NJ because of politics or whatever, but for classics it's pretty relaxed. Register once every 3 years with pictures for a...
we just moved back to Dallas from houston and as I was unpacking my tools I found a 36mm socket. I was thinking, that's weird, why do I have this giant metric socket. then I remembered back when I had a BMW I used this to take the oil filter housing off under the hood (spins off from the top...
I have a pretty high tolerance for food quality, was trained from a young age to eat whatever slop they served in the school cafeteria (dad didnt allow brown bag lunch.. hot food only). however, I draw the line at subway. I do not categorize that as "food". it is a horror show. beyond meat...
