    My pleasure. Feel free to send me any vids you want uploaded.

    I almost fell off my porch laughing the first few times I blew wasps away with rice. Too much fun.

    It has been unseasonably warm here and the wasps are active looking for nesting spots. I blasted several today. Some are huge and I haven't seen these before. Red wasp looking front with a black abdomen with a yellow stripe around the waist. Huge. This one was 1.5" and aggressive in my garage. .454 Casull rice loads took him down.

    Jeez, just pulled a bonehead move. In case anyone is as dumb as me learn from my lesson. The wasps were buzzing the heck out of my garage. I had ~7 in there and was shooting them a few mins ago. I took a bead on 2 near my ancient florescent light and blasted away. Busted the bulb. Yeah, not a good idea. Luckily I had one left and put it in. Almost totaled this old thing.

    I rate this 1/5, not recommended. Would not do again.

    My co-workers would call you a male donkey after a move like that! Then laugh at you out loud. I’d post the YouTube clip from Happy Gilmore but the comments there would get me an infraction.

    The LED replacement fixtures are brighter and instant on when you finally have to replace it.

    Hey, I had to laugh at myself on this one. I have about 50/50 LEDs to old florescent. When the ballast goes I'll change to LEDs.

    No worries Don. I posted it just so y'all could have a laugh. Not the dumbest thing I've done in 55 years by far ha, ha.

    Right! I replaced my 2 bbl intake manifold with a 4bbl in my younger days. Working late into the night and in a rush to see how much more hp it made.

    But the distributor didn’t want to go back in...

    Because the towel I had in the lifter valley to catch all the old gasket pieces was underneath the newly installed 4 bbl intake manifold.

    The important question is - did you get the wasp??

    I don't know if I did. Shattering glass and toxic powder falling everywhere kind of distracted me.

    I was walking near the lake and a yellow jacket wasp stung my ankle for no reason, so I crushed the wasp in my hand and threw his lifeless body into the leaf litter beside the trail.

    See, now I need to come up with an emergency Whack a mole rice loader kit just for these situations. Hands-on brutality is just so....primitive.

    Well, I would have never in a million years thought I'd shoot a mouse with one of the rice loads. My wife got home from work and said something was thrashing around in the garage. I looked and found a leg caught mouse in a trap. Normally I'd bust its neck with a shovel but this one was in a corner under a T-post.

    I was afraid it would get loose if I started dragging it out so I grabbed the derringer and blasted it with one of the .454 rice loads. Instant kill. Who knew?
