I just got whopped by one of these evil demons:

Upper back between the right shoulder and spine. Last time one got me, there was some swelling around the spot . Can't even see this spot.

Careful, it might be hard to get the cow smell off his stuff.


True .... didn't stop to consider if I actually wanted it! :p

Worst single-sting I ever had was from a 3.5-4 inch example of one of these guys. (type of digger-wasp) Nailed me on the side of the neck ... left a welt the size of a golf-ball and literally brought tears to my eyes... felt like a damn cattle prod!

They're usually not aggressive at all believe it or not but one just like this flew into me at high speed in the middle of a golf course.

Dylan Thomas said "Do not go gentle into that good night"
The poison will probably kill you, but, you should fight like hell to live and maybe you'll have a chance.

We all might be dead. How would you know? This could be hell. Makes sense if you think about it.

Are you dead? Hard to tell, it can sneak up you, then BAM!

Working out in the garage, drink mug off to the side. Drilled a hole in some metal. Not sure how, but some of the shavings got onto the top of the mug. Didn't see them. Came inside for a break, brought the mug, took a drink. Felt something in my mouth ... spit it out.

Don't think I swallowed any metal bits.

Had to swap some old corn gas for fresh real gas in the mowers for the winter. Had a few problems and wanted to let the good stuff set in for a while to clean then goo out.

Fastest way to drain both tanks was to siphon. When you do that using a rubber hose, well ... you know what happens.

Sure doesn't taste like corn likker.
