Big_John Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 This happened to my Ford Edge at the car wash... It's a minor annoyance, not really "irking" me... but it happened. $25 will buy a used one on eBay or I might try 3D printing one. My son stopped over to borrow my truck and mentioned he had to replace one on his Edge from the same thing happening. His Edge is a year older with a different grille or I would have "borrowed" his just to have some fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the diagnosis my neighbor had with a group of dying and dead trees in her yard. I hear pecking all day long. I have even seen the woodpeckers peck the heck out of ants in the ground. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i know,I’m not really going to kill the bird.I can’t even see it,I just hear it.Not to mention,I wouldn’t start shooting a crossbow near my neighbors house.No,I’d like to,but I was joking.However,it continues to peck away out there,even now,at 2 am my time.I just happen to be up doing some work on my bike,can’t sleep.And I’ll tell ya,this little guy sounds like a nail gun.He must want something in that tree..Thank you though for the tip sir.🐦🙉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really weird. I live on a wooded lot, and have at least 4 species of woodpeckers because of several bug-infested dead trees, and trees with dead limbs. I've never ever heard one after dusk.

Sorry Carl you're having this problem, I feel for you buddy.. My 70 plus year old Aunt fell last week coming out of a restaurant, her balance gets thrown off quickly causing to fall. I saw her the day she fell, other than the big knot on her forehead she looked ok until the next day. She looked like a raccoon with black eyes and had purple and greenish cheeks.

John M. Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Since I bought the 62 Buick Electra convertible from E Bay over the weekend as my next project, I've gotten slammed with 11 offers to buy builds at reduced prices that I haven't even looked at. I turned them all down. It's like having to deal with used car salesmen who use high pressure sales tactics on anybody who's just walking past their lots. Edited April 23 by John M.

It moved frantically around the area flinging dirt then burying his beak deep within. It looked as if he/she hit the honey hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
