Another Gate

Mostly he mowed today. Last night, after dark, we annihilated the paper wasp nest that was using the electrical tape as building structure. The nest had been steadily increasing in size and volume. He couldn't mow the grass near it because of the wasps. They are vigilant and militant.

His solution was out of a James Bond movie; he used aerosol carburetor fluid, lit with the grill lighter. The flame shot out of that can like a flame-thrower. The nest was burned to a crisp. Black ash. No signs of life. It was awesome!

He mowed all the areas that hadn't previously been cut, because we are going to put either the auger or the box scraper on the tractor. We've had a verdant summer so far.

We also went to Sykesville and Woodstock, running errands or investigative noisiness.
