I solved the JFK assassination mystery, provided Area 51 details, settled the Ford/Chevy AND Budweiser/Miller debates, and sketched out how to be a millionaire in only two months.

Unfortunately, that post is buried forever.

Yeah, I remember it was super cool. I think Clich posted a patina picture right after that though.

Wait...we could have been tearing it up here and we've been slogging through slow yurt land instead? Where the heck are the rules of this place?

Ask Bladite. He'll recite them to you in binary. And maybe Klingon.

Guys and gals, I'm sorry I haven't been that active.
Nothing to do with motivation and all about perspiration. Work has been kicking my butt.
Man, if I realized that three of the five moderators were AWOL, I'd be tearing the place up. :p

What this place needs is a big shot of Moose.

Maybe we're trying to set the example not be the example. ;)

Hahaha j/k I don't think that we knew most of you were AWOL.

I am assuming you are referring to the controller box for a water well when you say "water pump". Some of the things you can try in attempting to reduce ant intrusion on electrical circuits are

1) build a well house around the controller box (and pressure tank, if the tank is collocated with the controller at the well head)
2) sprinkle cinnamon on the ground inside the well house
3) hang a sock full (or two) of moth balls inside the well house fairly near the controller box.

The purpose of the shed is to protect controller and pressure tank from the elements. Protection of the cinnamon and moth balls is just a happy by-product.

I use cinnamon under and around the bases of my bee hives to try to keep fire ants out of the hives. This SEEMS to work pretty well, but I have to replace the cinnamon after every medium to heavy rainfall, as the rain washed away the cinnamon. I used cinnamon for fire ant prevention in my well house and my parents' well house, also, and it seemed to work. The purpose of the moth balls is to keep mice and rats from chewing on the well controller wires that are exposed.

Edit to add - Our well houses had concrete slabs to stabilize and protect the well head and for the tank to sit on. If your well house is dirt floored, you would have to replace the cinnamon on the dirt floor every time it rained enough for you to get standing water in the well house. If you don't already have one, you should have a concrete pad poured out to about 4 feet from the well head in all directions, at the least, to protect the well head from being flooded during heavy rains and contaminating your water well.

also "ortho home defense". spray it on EVERY surface down there. wood. stone. all over.

there are also "death granules" for sprinkling around perimeters that do a job on insects wanting "in"
 
It's always fun watching the sprint to the finish line....

It's been nice to see a few of the old guard come back around.

Always here,

Doc

less a sprint than a buncha old gits hobbling towards the same single use rest room

and the toilet paper is missing
 
Well, for a fellow git, it feels like a sprint... Heh heh.

Entertaining at least.

3 2 1 bans.

the person that makes exactly 1000 can start a new thread. not before. not after.

also, to gameify it, the person that makes 1000 cannot have more than 2 or more posts in a row or they are disqualified.

if you manage to post over 1000, i don't want to see you starting a thread, or even be in the first 25 ;)

there might even be a stupid prize. there might not be. i'll ponder that one. beckerheads in good standing only.

if you are REALLY dumb, you won't be in good standing ;)

do not start a new thread until 1000 ;)

or else... you'll never do it again :] la la la
