We have these ugly things this year. This one was right outside the door last weekend. Note his size compared to the bricks. Had another one just like it carry an egg sac under my stove!

It was eating a Japanese Beetle. I've been killing these things all spring. They were coming in with the firewood earlier in the year.

[GregD]

Hi Act, having a good nite?

 

[actaeon277]

Well, I have ONE WHOLE DAY OFF.
Yea Hah.

So I thought I'd watch a 1950s serial "mysterious island" and catch up on INGO.

 

[actaeon277]

By the way.....

I work for MORONS.

Morons think 1 day is a weekend?

 

[actaeon277]

Nope.

Morons ignore warnings about hiring the cheapest contractor.
These two pics are the result of a fire on a "mold".

Since the mold is supposed to be completely rebuilt every 5 years, and we haven't had one rebuilt in 10, we advised to send the mold out for a complete rebuild.
They wouldn't.
They were going to hire someone to wire it in place, without new conduit or pipe.
So we advised to hire the company that rebuilds the mold. At least they have learned from mistakes, and do a good job now.
But they wanted cheaper.
I told them, they'd get the mold wired, and the equipment wouldn't work right.

So today,
3 bosses are looking at the mold wondering WHY IT DON'T WORK.

 

[actaeon277]

The fire was so hot, you can see the aluminum in the plugs warped.
The missing plugs, MELTED.

 

[GregD]

Looks like it will need to be rewired again. . .but the boss always knows how to save money

 

[KJQ6945]

It takes a special kind of stupid to be in management these days. I call them "spreadsheet wonders".

 

[GregD]

Evening KJQ, have you ever got that right.
