    How I found it easier to hook my hoses up is when you shut the engine off wiggle the joy sticks back and forth to take the pressure off the fittings and I think your hoses will connect a lot easier. Give it a try.

  • @macbitz
    @macbitz Před 9 dny +1

    Great video. Yellow jackets and some hornets are well-known for ground-nesting and they often choose abandoned rodent burrows or other natural cavities in the soil to build their nests. They enlarge these cavities and actually construct paper-like nests inside them, similar to what they do above-ground. What's more, they can be more aggressive than other species if their nest is disturbed. I learned this from the groundsman of the cemetary where my dad was buried because their nest was right next to his grave! Made visiting very challenging as they couldn't really justify disturbing the nest and I accepted that.

  • @kirk467
    @kirk467 Před 12 dny

    I remember the last time you cut this pond Davin! I’m surprised you don’t hit more wasps nest with all the grassy fields that you cut! Try bush hogging on a no cab tractor! No protection at all! If you get stung, take a little bit of cigarette or pipe tobacco, wet it with spit or a little water and slap it on the sting area! Kills the pain pretty quick my friend! Just an old time remedy from the old Cajun people and it works really well! Helps stop the swelling too a little bit!

    My dad dug up a ground nest one time with the cable front shovel. He thought it was a bumble bee nest (if I remember correctly). And I remember him saying the bees were mad and swarming the bucket of the machine. I wish I was there when he dug up the nest. But I hate bees/wasps and part of me is glad I wasn't there. With my luck, I would have been stung.
