Oh *%#!!!!!!

My youngest just came in... Turns out that he had been hollering "help" from the barn loft...

We never heard him...

Neighbor (who walks by the now defaced fuel tank) heard him hollering and went to resque him.

He had been gathering fireweed, and had to take it to the loft where it needs to dry. On the way up his bag of fireweed hit the ladder end and shifted the ladder. He decided the ladder was now unstable, and wouldn't go down.....

So... He yelled "help"

Well.... I have no idea what my new label will be, and what all the neighbors will call me..... But I bet it is embarrassing.

Stuff happens to all of uf Alaskan. Chin up. Don't worry about what your neighbors say. Just remember what the good book says about neighbors.
And your son that painted the 3 backwards may be having issues with dyslexia. I got it after many years of doing payroll and keeping books for offices.
I had to find a new job. I feel for your son it's awful!

(I mix up numbers and letters when I try to copy or write or type them. And if someone is watching it's worse!) I don't see letters backwards.

More problems. Outside I noticed yellow jackets going into the garage through a small hole in the mortar by the outdoor light. We have cheap paneling on the walls which I hope is keeping them contained between the studs. So far I have not seen any inside the garage nor hear them in the wall.

I have blitzed them (wasp killer)several times at very close distance outside and it kills them fast. But I don't want to plug the entrance hole because then many will be trapped in the garage walls and looking for an exit.

No matter how many I kill more and more keep coming. They smell the spray residue and go elsewhere. I have emptied two full cans of wasp killer. I'm not certain if you call these wasps or yellow jackets or something else. They are a bit smaller and so far seem docile. I am very close to them spraying and none have come after me for revenge (knock on wood).

They are not like the usual wasps I fight every year, that put up actual wasp nests - which I find much easier to destroy. I never had any hiding inside the building. They remind me more of ground wasps that go into a hole in the ground. Usual wasps will immediately pursue me and buzz angrily. These just seem upset that they can't get inside., and fly around aimlessly.

The garage itself is somewhat heated and rarely gets below freezing in winter - so I'm afraid they will survive the winter if I don't get rid of them now. ANY suggestions that won't kill me or destroy the garage. Help. this has been one crazy year- weather wise. Which I think is way diverse kinds of insects etc are making homes where they didn't before. I have lived here 47 years and never had wasps breach the walls (brick on all sides).

Diva if you put some 7 dust in a turkey bastor and squirt it into the holes they are going in and out of they will take it into the hive and lick their feet and it will kill them. You should do it at night.

Pretty sure one of our DD's has dyslexia, at least somewhat. Her older sister's were so easy, high honor roll straight A no help needed, this one's a tough egg.....backwards letters, backwards numbers, hates reading, hates school

exact opposite of her older sisters and younger sister who has been reading since she was three. Boy starts pre-school this yr, hope he does good, not sure about him, ask him how old he is it's always "nine" say four, come on just say four. Next time you ask, "nine" say four! "nine"....hope he's just messing with us, he does have a sense of humor (how old did you say you are? "poop" .... Ohh boy... hope he behaves in school..) but it makes us wonder if we'll have another tough one cause he will never come up with four unless we tell him, has the fingers right, but not the number.
Going to be weird having a empty house soon, like to enjoy it, probably have a first shift job come up again and I'll miss out on the peace and quite Lol!
