DANGER AHEAD!
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have tried the dawn soap in various concentrations. I have yet to see a yellow jacket “drop dead right there”. More often after a minute or two of hosing them down (and staying out of range) I will see them crawling into the hive. I then direct spray them till they are soaked and dripping with the solution. Maybe they die, maybe they don’t. Typically they disappear into the ground or hive. The next day it is rare to find dead wasps , so unless they haul off the dead or something is eating them I will keep looking for something that really works. Regards Gateway Kid BTW I do my spraying about 20 minutes before sunset so most of the little buggers are in the nest. -
Thank you so much! Was unaware I had that information out there. Again thank you! Gateway Kid

What's on your Bucket List?
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Did the Africa trip in 2020. Fantastic! Since then went to Costa Rica and last year to Brazil. This year is Iceland to see the waterfalls and the “Blue Lagoon” maybe a volcano. Next year is Patagonia to walk with wild puma! Have been trying to arrange Galapagos or Antarctica but don’t know when those will happen. Regards Gateway Kid -

Airbike...?
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I always find it interesting that when I am running late or otherwise in a hurry, not one other person on the road is! They are ALL going 10 under or stopping early for the lights or something! Conversely if I am just cruising (lollygagging) along enjoying the drive whilst watching the sights every last person on the road is hell bent on driving near the speed of light! Anyone else notice this phenomenon? Regards Gateway Kid -
Generally if we want the cows to go someplace we put some hay on a trailer and drive around and throw some hay off as we go. When they need to move in rough country just get behind them on a horse and walk them to the new spot. The older cows have figured out they are going to end up where there is food anyway so often they will just lead the herd where they are supposed to be. Of course there are always those who don't want to cooperate, when you encounter those you would understand why we eat them! Never been in a real stampede myself but I will ask my cattle ranching cousin (currently about 800 cows and similar number of calves). Now horses on the other hand can be really really smart or dumbest animals on the planet, depends on a lot of things... is it sunny, is it cloudy, is there rain in the forcast, is it dry, have they been working awhile, have they been in a pasture awhile, do they feel like doing what you want or not. You know technical stuff! Regards Gateway Kid

Mostly 5 1/2 OMV for me. My old eyes like the longer sight radius. My arthritic wrists like the heavier OMV sucking up the recoil. My wife's guns are 4 5/8 NMV. She likes the lighter weight overall and the slightly smaller grips. All are polished stainless with one backup set being bead blasted. YMMV Regards Gateway Kid

You ever hear of a "purple paint law"?
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Our forestry people use day glow pink on trees to be removed. Not in the timber industry myself but we have about 30 trees on the south end of our place marked with pink to put in a bicycle path later this summer Gateway Kid -

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
That sounds right to me. My property is 14 acres and fenced so doesn't apply to me. While a chart further down the thread says we don't have an actual law our family of cattle ranchers goes up and paints cedar fence posts every year. Thanks for the info Gateway Kid -
She Hasn't Killed Me
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Obviously she’s not Australian! Seriously though, CONGRATULATIONS! We will be 43 years together in September. She is definitely the center of my world and has made me a better man! Respectfully Gateway Kid -

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Same here in Colorado. With fence lines being miles long in places putting up signs is not practical. Most of the time you will see a corner (fences running in two directions) painted purple and an occasional purple tree or post. Regards Gateway Kid -
Is there such a thing as a helicopter muffler?

Pretty sure, for television purposes, there is a knob labeled “volume” that they turn “down” for these situations! Regards Gateway Kid -

Category matrix

Thank you! Gateway Kid -
My wife is working on labeling the awards for our annual. She is looking for the correct category names. We know we won’t need every category (small annual) but would like the awards to be compliant with the official list. She used to have a copy of the category matrix, but can not locate it now. Anybody still have a copy they could post? TIA Regards Gateway Kid

No Rattlesnake Hatbands This Summer...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Cholla's topic in SASS Wire
As a veteran of both knees being replaced I have extended my mileage walking, my enjoyment of CAS, reduced my general pain levels to minimal and gone from 16 ibuprofen per day (nearly 20 years) down to one or two acetaminophen a couple times per month. If this was yelp… highly recommend and would do it again Regards Gateway Kid -
How do you tell them apart?
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
All of my cowboy pistols and rifles are engraved to one degree or another. This includes a name. Praise, Glory, Rejoice, Faith etc. The rifles also include a bible verse reference. I remember which name equates to a particular caliber. Works for me! Thanks to Aspen Filly and Jim Downing for their incredible artistry, particularly in following my detailed instructions… “I have xxx amount of money, make em look pretty, with this name! See ya when they are ready!” Regards Gateway Kid
