General Music Chat

Hey RatsAss as a young boy and into my teens I spent a lot of time at my Grandparents place in southern Arkansas just outside Eldorado in a little town called Norphlet and that is where I first taught myself to play guitar on the front porch of that shotgun house. I tell my kids I actually had to kill my Sunday dinner and they laugh at me but it is true those were some of the best times of my life. Collecting fresh eggs every morning shelling purplehull peas in front of the tv. Arkansas is a truely beautiful state. I took a vacation up by Lake Quachita back in 1999 and hope to see the Ozarks some day.

Well, when you get ready, let me know. I live in 'em.

Dude.. On the job-sites here, the porta pottys don't get serviced enough. You'll see one for a whole tract these days. Builders cutting costs. Well in the summertime there are a lot of flies in them. It's bad enough you're sitting in a sauna of sweltering festering stench (I'll spare you the visual descriptions), but try getting bit on the ass by one of those horse flies. Sometimes your balls.

I can stand Horse Flies just about as much as Seinfeld and as for having a bite on my nether regions? Stuff that for a game of soldiers.

Haley that was funny pal. It's like saying "You never see a Beatle car anymore." and then seeing twenty of them innit

Adding to this story. (Sorry to be a bore). We had one of those crap portable wardrobes which you put together to hang clothes in. Of course this fell down bringing everything near down with it.

Anyway I had a rather sharp idea. I'm going to use those poles to form a rig for the porch using copper elbows from the plumbing section as returns and hang a mosquito net from it.

Then.....................

I'll destroy any vermin contained therein, thus forming a nice evening human habitat free from Horse Flies/Ticks/Mosquitos and these other tiny black flies which also bite. (No idea what they are?)

There are also colonies of wasps here. I think the house has remained empty for some time darn it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Those lil black bitey thingies are gnats - also called "no-see-ums" by injun wannabes. They can be really irritating, cuz they're attracted to the CO2 you exhale, & when they aren't biting, they're flying into your eyes.

Standard screens don't seem to bother them much. They do make special screens for the teensy lil boogers, but it's more 'spensive.


Have fun extricating &/or assassinating your wasps.
