Is that a wasp nest in the "oh crap" photo? Doug Bald Faced Hornets nest. Just one of our unique critters out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanD Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Shotgun shell filled with a medium coarse grind of salt. A three in one fix; no damage to the wood, kills the bees instantly and removes the hive. Every year we had to do this, in and around the tobacco kilns; before harvest started. Dan.

DRIFTER_016 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Said nope to the crappy weather and went home early!!! Was 32* F at the boat launch when I got there around 9:30 this morning. Was gusting 40 MPH out of the North too. ? Managed to stuff the nose of the boat into the back of an over-sized wave on the way back to the dock to top things off. The dog was unimpressed with being hosed by a wall of 54* F water. I wasn't thrilled either!!! ? So it rained from the time I got there on Friday until just about dinner time on Saturday so I spent the day making window trim and a few pieces for the area under the deck. Was hoping to get to the top of the bottom window today but was too cold for that. The boat runs great though after the work I had to do on it last weekend. ?

Cast-Away Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hey Dave, I was on Georgian Bay yesterday and it is still 73. How warm did your lake get in July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I would rather have the 32F thanks very much, and a wave full of 54F water in my face today would have been MOST pleasant!!!! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast-Away Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Warm enough to swim over 65 degrees but a bit of a shock for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nice evening on the boat ride out to the cabin. Not!!! Didn't get much done was too cold to do anything. Had my 60,000 BTU propane heater on full most of Saturday and got the tiles for my hearth cut. That's all. Came home early Sunday to try and warm up some.
