  1. It's getting worse Dropped two trees on yellow jacket nests yesterday. Off to the races... " "This season's been perfect weather for them. Stable high temperatures. Very little rain. The rain's been at the end of the day or overnight when they're not really working anyway," said Russell. Basically, Russell says most days have been great work days for yellow jackets. "This time of year, nest population is very high. You're talking three to 500 individuals in a nest. We're talking very, very aggressive," stated Russell. A common myth: when the nights get cooler, days get shorter, and yellow jackets get a bit crazed. "That's an easy thing to tie it to, 'Oh, the season is getting shorter and they're getting nervous'. No, no. The number of bees has just escalated so high. There's so much more activity, that it just seems like they're more anxious, but there's just more of them," noted Russell.
  2. Not much sense going to the doctor . If you get it you're pretty much toast .
  3. It's got me spooked . I work in a hardwood forest eight hours a day . I've never worn bug spray . I bathe in it now.
  4. Definitely tough being a tree today. On my property I have a 12 foot in circumference elm tree that somehow managed to escape Dutch elm. The Gypsy Moths killed it last year ☹️
  5. A couple days in the low eighties would be nice!
  6. Let's get a hard freeze in here soon. The effing bees are driving me nuts.
  7. Very disappointing. And it wasn't only hype boy talking about it.
  8. First sunrise of the last unofficial day of summer 2019.
  9. That looks like a whole lot of suck to me.
  10. I found DIT "Some hobbyists have been following Dorian practically since it formed about 800 miles southeast of Barbados on Aug. 24, when it was a nameless tropical depression. In the absence of a surefire track for the storm, some amateur forecasters are sharing misleading information online, sometimes by posting an especially severe model as if it were a definitive prediction. The pros have a nickname for the posters: social mediarologist. And they can lead other viewers to then complain to local forecasters, many of whom see responding to their audience as part of their job description."
  11. August was almost perfect. Golf courses in Tip-Top shape. What more could you ask ?
  12. Yup, think it's going to be an early one.
  13. Are we still going to get the dew points in the 70s as promised??
  14. Same model you used for your tornado outbreaks and temperature forecast?
  15. Some spots 4 to 5 inches of rain? I will pass thanks.
  16. No comparison, rounding error from normal temperatures with little in the way of rain or humidity. I'll have another sir...
  17. A man of honor owning up to his mistakes! Don't feel bad, many a man has succumbed to incessant propaganda. Favored tactic of the Cold War Koreans and cheap salesman in current day Connecticut.
  18. if all you have is a nail, everything looks like a hammer.
