That storm just gave us a lot of rain, some wind and no hail. Our oldest is on staff at our local Boy Scout camp (only 10 miles from us), the first wave they went to the shelters but they were back at their cabins for the second weaker wave. We did have some window rattling thunder.

Nope.
They was yellow & black, the western bumble bee, endangered.
DH says when he went back to look for the engine bolts that had fallen out of the weed wacker, that there were about 50 of the bees crawling around on the ground.
So many, he was leary of approaching, thought they would sting him.
They were not interested in stinging or flying, just walking around on the cut grass.
I cannot find any now.
I am thinking that it has been so cold the last day and a half (and raining) that they all went in their hole & closed the door.
I hope so.
next time it is warm...I will go watch for them to emerge, and catch one to positively identify it as either the western or the rusty bumbler, the western is more endangered and the society is asking anyone who sees ONE to contact them, probably to keep records of their numbers.
But I have a very healthy subteranian hive here, oh so rare..so who knows, maybe 'they' will come out & study it?

I have a DR wheeled whacker myself! But the stupind pull cord broe last year, and the cover over the starer coil is RIVETED on!!!

I really wish I had a way to fix it, cause it runs beautifully!!! Stupid pull cord, and even stupider rivets!

Cut them off with a sawzall, then replace the rivets with screws if ya can, when you put it back together.
Either that, or look for screws elsewhere to remove the pull cord assembly...try contacting DR.

Look a little farther that cover probably bolts on. Most likely there is 1 or 2 bolts up bu the spark plug and 2 on the other side of the engine. Most likely take a 3/8 or 7/16 wrench. Should remove the entire cover around the flywheel.

ummm lol I only had olive oil so I tipped her upside down and drizzled a bit of oil in her vent. she gurgled a little. I rubbed around the egg and then put her in a crate. egg came out in a half hour

I'll bet it's easier to tip a serama upside down than an english Orpington.

I always wondered about suppositories...glove up & shove one up there with a finger......

gently of course....

Tornados are not the only reason to move west, I really hate the humidity.
