Hard choices have to me made. I side with the birds, but this ain't going to be easy. https://exit63.wordpress.com/2018/06/16/the-foxcatcher/

Guy, was the pipe only supposed to be temporary?

It is true you have to walk a very fine line. I think it may be the timing of when you posted your caution that may have caused some alarm in Jon's mind. Pro-gun posters should consider that a lot of members take the opposing view, so they don't take kindly to initial posts that may seem...

Wait for it, here it comes.

Thanks Boyd. This is good info for me.

Sun out up here. Feels great!

I really think we should start calling the period from mid-April to early June the "wet season", or perhaps "moody monsoon time". This has really been a fundamental shift in our local weather pattern in my experience. This seems to have started about 8-10 years ago (only going on memory).

Going on memory (and using the opening in the plastic thing), it had to be about 5/8-3/4 inch long. I was surprised at it's size. I always thought they were a lot smaller.

Here’s trouble. Found in my garage. And I carried this plastic thing and washed it out before I saw it.

Oh, now I get it. I actually thought it was the opposite, that you wanted us to talk more about the weather here. :p

Ahh yes. Post #2 in this link: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/rough-and-tumble-pine-plains-a-pbx-hike.11117/

That is very cool Al. :cool:

I think I may have posted that bug with an ID a couple years ago. Maybe.

I do agree. I think the worst of the pine is over. By the way, pine pollen is heavier than most, causing it to not stay adrift as long.

I like having my bear spray too Jon. Do what you feel is right for you. :clint:

This is the male cone, which releases the pollen from the scales shown at the arrow (I pulled these off the main cone). Quite a lot of pollen from each of these. All I did was tap it a couple times and that load to the right fell out. These pollen grains end up being blown to the female cones...

Although it drizzled here most of the morning, it tapered off this afternoon, and a windy front came in. Back out came the pollen. It only takes a little wind to dry it.

I suppose I do. Interesting concept.

I really do.
