re: DIY Termite Treatment

Do as I say, not as I do, but.....


I've never really understood the trenching. Treated soil is treated soil. I'd rather apply a heaverier dose and a wider swath than dig around my slab. I'm old and my back hurts. Full disclosure, if it's my own house I'm inspecting the slab and grounds way more frequently than the once a year contract folks anyway.

We have the issue where it constantly tells us we need to "re-authenticate". We then have to get on a computer, and sign back in with YouTube TV. PITA.
I've never heard of anyone worshipping the shroud. It's an amazing piece of Christian history that scientists have failed at discrediting.
Worshipping the shroud is what you took from that?
Beautiful property. I'm with the others. Add a mini deck for working outside and enjoying the view.
Oilprice.com is run by a bunch of green energy morons. Get your oil opinions, good or bad, elsewhere.

Use ethanol free pump gas, add sta-bil, and save $$$.
There is more at play than just shipping disruptions.

There is still the "Russia" thing going on. Infrastructure damage in Russia, infrastructure damage in the middle east, US shale production having peaked, and OPEC lying about their actual production capabilities over the years. And whatever happens in Iran, someone will continue to threaten the strait of Hormuz.

JMO, but oil isn't going back to $55-60. I think $80-90 is the new floor . That's healthy for producers and refiners, and it's still "cheap" for consumers historically (especially inflation adjusted). At $55-60 there is a lack of capital investment in new projects, and wars or no wars the price would have bounced up anyway.

I have had it over a year now.

Here is the original thread I made. I've since moved and bought a ZYR, but I still use the Stihl on part of my property.

My new favorite, since Honda left the market, is the Stihl brand of walk behinds. Built well, cut nice.
Y'all thought I was kidding.......

Get rid of their food source and they will leave. Treat your yard for the grubs they like to eat, and they will soon find new homes.
Buy the best engine and hydro combination you can afford. It will vary by brand and price point.

re: AirTag in Gunsafe?

Posted by dragginass on 12/22/25 at 5:29 pm to
I'm of the opinion that if the safe itself is not enough of a deterrent (assuming it's a decent one and not a "locker"), then the thieves will get what they want anyway. But Your average meth head burglars are not going to get in your safe, unless they have hours/days to work at it. Cameras resolve that problem. An actual safe heist is probably an inside job.

I'm in the same boat as OP. Researched and settled on the Bambu Lab A1 mini for my son. Will know more after Christmas.


We decided on the same thing. Unfortunately we decided too late. It looks like they are now backordered everywhere.
So they are non-profits, independent of the Church. You've made my point. Finances (USAID or otherwise) and potential fraud of Catholic Charities has no cross over to the church. They are not a requirement of the Church proper, and their participation in parish ministries varies based on many things. That they may carry out a mission, on their own accord, that *should* align with the church is not an indictment.

I agree they should be defunded, I don't agree with their mission on immigration, and it does not actually align with church teaching anyway. That's my position as a Catholic, which is not in defiance of any Church teaching.

The leadership of the church is always a concern, and always will be. There are Fr. James Martin type priests, and there are Fr. Mike Schmitz's. The truths of the Mass remain, however.

I don't understand the Catholic Church's worship of Mary. She is not sinless and she is not a co-redeemer with Christ. It is silly and misguided.


You're half correct. The Catholic view, which I won't bother detailing here, is that she was in fact sinless.
