I had a neighbor who raced them. He had a coop above his garage. I don't know how he did it, but now and then we'd see maybe all of them circling the 'hood.
TonyK Posted September 26 Posted September 26 When I was a kid we had a neighbor one street over from us that used to let out their flock a couple of times a day. You'd see then circling around for awhile. As a kid I just wasn't able to grasp what was going on but it was fun to watch. 1

This guy was at least 50, he met his demise in bed with a younger lady that was not his wife...

Russell C Posted October 13 Posted October 13 When I moved into this overglorified trailer park, my teensy backyard (those bumpy blocks are my property lines) was just a bunch of flat gravel. My sister suggested adding visual interest to it via some fake turf grass, decorative rocks, stepping stone pavers, a birdbath. This morning, courtesy of the long strip of tropical storm moisture vacuumed out of the Gulf of Baja Califorina, now I have my own .. temporary .. personal little lake. 2
StevenGuthmiller Posted Thursday at 09:49 PM Posted Thursday at 09:49 PM A few hundred million Asian beetles!!! The freakin things cover every surface of the exterior of the house this time of the year, with warm weather after a cold snap, and they can find their way inside through the tiniest opening! If you walk outside for even a few seconds, you’ll inevitably bring several of them inside with you on your clothing. Sitting in my family room and I’ve flushed at least 40 of them down the toilet within the past half hour, and they just keep coming. Worst part is that you have to be careful when you smash the little buggers because they’ll leave little yellow stains all over your walls and ceilings. Who ever introduced these things into the US should be publicly executed!! Steve 2

JollySipper Posted Friday at 02:16 PM Posted Friday at 02:16 PM It's funny....... I watch the ants in the grass while the dog suns himself. They can carry 100 times their weight, yet they build these mounds moving one grain of sand at a time!

She's young and gets rambunctious. Once she gets over the fence (low electric job that evidently isn't on) she just hangs out.
