Possibly the European Hornet. But they follow the same lifecycle as the bald-faced. Nests are not reused year to year. And you would certainly notice their nests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_hornet

What kind of hornets? It's odd that they are active each year in the same shed. The giant paper ball-building bald faced hornets die off at the end of each season and the queen hides in a tight crevice somewhere. In the spring, she poops out a few workers and they get to work making paper.

I am sure Pfizer is salivating over marketing this one. Tickdemic-2025 is upon us, we just didn't know it.

I misspent most of my teens and into my mid-20's drinking a ridiculous amount of Pabst Blue Ribbon and smoking Marlboro Reds (soft pack because they were about 3/16" longer than box) around a bonfire in the woods. Places like Murphy's Pit, the old Medford Stump Dump in Medford and remnants of...

Well this is interesting. https://newjersey.news12.com/jones-road-wildfire-arson-suspect-to-be-released-from-jail-with-electronic-monitor

CCW. Working on mine now.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this, it is fascinating. While I knew the story of Joseph Wharton and his plans to corral the water in the Pines and divert it to Philadelphia, the map illustrates the scope of such a mammoth project. Had it come to fruition, I'd be sitting on some lakefront property...

This is the location. https://boydsmaps.com/#18.00/39.782348/-74.897410/nj2020/0.00/0.00

You know, you finally get a kid to crawl out of his mother’s basement and into the big woods and he does this. :( Bob, I am posting a link to a press conference that I just watched. OC Prosecutor Brad Billhimer indicates that lots of technology and some witness testimony went into the arrest...

I’ll take 10 ticks over 1 chigger. But fire removes both. Win-Win. I have literally had 10 ticks this season already doing a 2-day job in Winslow.

I was derailed on my way home from my annual Good Friday freshwater fishing trip. I was coming back from Port Elizabeth and couldn't turn onto Union off of 49. When I got into Vineland, all the way up near Wheat, the smoke was visible and the smell was strong. Winds were hard south all day today.

I don't even want to know what the Gecko pulls down!

It's staggering to think about how much I have paid for vehicle insurance over the last 50 years. I started driving in 1975. I have insured the same two trucks simultaneously for the last 23 years and my wife has always had her own vehicles. I have also insured 4 different motorcycles off and on...

Looks like the culvert beneath the bridge is blocked. I don't see any sign of beaver though. One would normally see fresh cut saplings and brush stuffed all along the face of the culvert/bridge on the upstream side. Stuffing it shut on the outlet side is far more difficult for a beaver. A true...

I'll definitely get one. Eventually. My CDL isn't up for renewal until August 2026 and has to be done in person. I will probably wait until then. Visiting MVC is always a living nightmare and I might as well get the most for my 3 hours of torture.

I struggled with selecting the proper forum in which to post this, and I think I found the right one. I think everyone will agree that our friend Boyd has spent what seems like 20 years perfecting one of the most convenient and comprehensive mapping systems known to modern man. When I received...

Me neither. The fire was very close to a friend’s house but the NW winds are a blessing.

Fierodoug hasn't posted since 2016. I hope he didn't find a bottomless hole.

I get PayPal scam emails a few times times per week. I forward each without opening them to phishing@paypal.com. They send an automated response to me acknowledging receipt but it doesn't seem to help all that much. I have Comcast email at home and I really think they have a very shitty spam...
