    I don't know about sloppy, but it only took me 10 minutes FTF to talk him into his first tight suppressor and get him on the phone with Andrew.

    I heard you are working on his second suppressor...amateur. :stickpoke:

    Pfft. I’m working on his second, third and fourth suppressor. You just stand back and watch what I have learned from you.

    R. Lee Ermey at the U.S.M.C. anniversary ball in 2006
    He died in 2018. He didn't die in battle, but when I talked to him in 2009, it seemed evident that (2) tours in Vietnam had killed a part of his spirit.

    I finally put together a respectable display for the last project that he worked on ..... this KA-BAR knife. At 16.5" long, The Gunny got his wish: he wanted a knife "that could skin a Rhino" !

    I discussed this with two beekeepers - both recommended eradication, at this point, since they have now taken home in between the old roof joists and wherever else they are.

    This is the group that I am working with so we did effort to preserve them.


    Extraction/eradication starts tomorrow...
    What's the latest buzz on the bees? Gone now? Wallet thinned out a bit after that?

    Yes; Wallet is not quite a CZ Shadow 2 Compact thinner but bees are gone.

    Guy was in a 120 degree attic for five hours with a sawzall.....the nest was about 36 hours old and 10,000 bees - he estimated based on weight of his shop vac. He earned every penny.

    I learned a lot - bees are pretty amazing creatures.

    Wow, my adventure with wasps in the basement (discussed here https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/good-or-bad-wasps.511078/post-8855324 ) was no where as bad as that.

    Glad it's taken care of, and as you said sounds like that guy earned his money.

    They must have really liked the Capo Estate to congregate that quickly and decide to move in that quick.

    Any big repairs to carry out after all that Sawzall work and bee removal?
