NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[actaeon277]

Yes, the one from Canada. Unfortunately she just left this morning

Then you can come to the red solo cup event at the Post.

Last time I had an underground nest

Fire can spook them, but gas fumes will kill them. I cover with a board. A few around today wandering. At least got my trees planted near them.

 

[Brian Ski]

We’re enjoying our deck fire pit tonight

We got to sit out by the fire last night. It has been a few weeks. A little cool, but nice.

Good morning y'all. Corn freezin time. Going to start with ten dozen ears today.

.

So, can you share what your process is of freezing corn?

I helped my Grandmother for many years. She had a 10x10 2by board with a 16D nail in it. Stab an ear of corn on it and had a corn ring cutter. Corn got scraped in a sandwich style baggy and went in the freezer. Pretty simple.

I did that after it had been dark for a few hours. The fumes probably would have done the job alone but if there were any hiding in a branch of the hive where the fumes couldn't reach, they damn well got got when the fire sucked all the oxygen out of the hole

Also any stragglers that didn't make it back by then got the Luke Skywalker Experience (that is, returning to the homestead to find your only known relatives served extra extra crispy)

Walked in the VNA float for the popcorn fest. Had fun in the rain.

Ok, that was you.

A real life-size lego like motorbike.
Melensads still won't ride it since it's not playmolblie.

I'd ride that.

But I'd prefer a Honda. Or a Royal Enfield. Or an Indian.

And clearly Playmobil would be best of all.

 

[Brian Ski]

I guess I feel Lego's should be Lego's. No they have these kits with special pieces to make these special star wars figures. Each little part has all the pieces in a little baggy. The bike above looks like it is made with super size 3d printed blocks. Dump out a 100 lb drum of Lego's and have them build a bike. Or other big figures. I would be impressed.

I've seen something like this before. I poured half a 32 oz mason jar of gasoline down the hole and it burned for probably a half hour. I'm guessing this guy poured quite a bit more than that. Oh, he also looks older.

 

[Brian Ski]

My grandfather told me, find out where they are entering the ground and wait until night when they are all in the nest. He used a qt jar with a cone type top. He would just flip it in. I remember him saying no fire.

 

[tv1217]

Agh. Where's the fun in that?

Yep. Gasoline in, plug hole with rag and a stick. All dead with few stragglers. Occasionally they'd have a second entrance, and maybe have to do the same thing the next night, but that's rare.

ps. Maybe not as much fun without the flames, but very effective. I think the fumes saturate better without the flame.

It's a lengthy write-up, and I'll respond tomorrow.

Whew. Saves me from typing it.

Next, on or off the cob?

I'm not saying I need one, but...oh wait yeah, I need one. For science.

We bit chilly tonight for daughters marching band competition tonight

Off, cobbs scraped clean. 31 juicy pints froze. 8 hours total man hours. Corn cost $50.
