My wife and I are grieving. Our little boy (we don't have kids together), our little Llasa/Jack Russell mix has been gone for 2 weeks. Somebody left the gate open (probably me) and he disappeared. No...

Thanks for the tips. I'm embarassed to say that my son gave me a fancy set of BBQ tools about 3 years ago for my birthday, and I hardly ever use them. I have a favorite little cheapo tong/spatula...

I've seen mockingbirds chase crows and even hawks. No wonder it's our state bird. We don't like trespassers.

My "Birds of Texas" book says that these smallish green parrots are not that uncommon in south Texas. They are more abundant throughout Mexico but occassionally visit the southern parts of the state....

I think I just bought the same commercial Char-Broil grille about 3 weeks ago from Lowe's for $300. It came with a free exchange tank of propane and free assembly. Have used it about 6 or 7 times -...

The other day, on our quiet and secluded cove, we spotted a snapping turtle. Fairly large (shell 20-22" long), and pronounced ridges on the back so we think it's an alligator snapper rather than a...

About 25 years ago, my in-laws had a "pet" albino squirrel that would eat out of their hands, at their lake house in Tool, TX (Cedar Creek Lake). Only one I have ever seen or heard of until now.

Thanks for posting that. We've got dozens of them all over our place, along with tons of deer. I've never noticed ANY kind of animal or bird eating the berries, but the deer and grasshoppers love the...

I would like to have some immediate secure storage at our weekend place and have been considering a container. I have also given thought to placing two, 40 ft. containers about 20 ft. apart, with a...

Just when I found my land, I got cut off (using terrafly). The message said I had used up all of my flight time. Terraserver-usa.com has the same images (I think) and has unlimited free use.

Hey bigbukhntr: You sound like you had an atypical experience with your home. I am considering doing the same thing, also here in N. Texas (Athens area at our lake home). I have a couple of questions...

My research and experience tells me that nearly all of the ones that are buzzing around and harassing you are the males, which cannot sting. The females (which can sting), usually stay in or around...

With too many other projects taking my cash right now, I don't have the funds to put in a concrete floor in the tractor shed. This is a semi-enclosed, 15'x30' galvanized steel structure. The flooring...

I'm pretty sure that MTD makes one with a 48" cut. I did see a Huskie at TSC the other day that had a 48" deck. I think it was 22h hp. Aren't those made by MTD?

We had a similar problem on a large, double insulated eyebrow (half-round) window in our bedroom. I installed a sunscreening film to the inside pane to cut down on glare, etc. The inside pane...

I know I'll probably get blasted for this. I generally try to economize (am one cheap ba!@$rd). I keep fixing my old 8N to keep from spending $16,000 on the Kubota I REALLY want, and I bought a cheap...

I posted a different question about this subject on the critters thread. Harvester (red) ants are eating my newly planted Eldarica pine trees and nothing seems to stop them. Question - if I do get...

Don't know if moving them would work. After they ate the three pines that were closest to the mounds, they made a trail (about 300 feet) to the other three and have started on them. Don't know if...

My wife gave me 6 Eldarica pine trees for Christmas. Noticed a couple of them were getting chewed on, so I suspected deer and soaked them with deer repellent and wrapped them with chicken wire. Two...

We regularly use a wildlife cam we bought at Outdoor World. Forgot the name brand but it cost $250 and has a pretty cheap 35mm Samsung camera in it. It works great, and have pics of deer, rabbits,...

I haven't tried it but someone on another board has suggested it. Good luck.

I've got a tractor barn, well house, and carport at our weekend place in the country with open, metal roofing. Just metal roofing panels set on perlins, on top of rafters or pre-engineered trusses....

I bought a 1998 EZ-Go (electric) a couple of months ago on E-Bay for $1,250. We use it on weekends to get around our 18 acres in the woods. It goes up and down the fairly steep slope to the lake...

I see lots of those around my (lakefront) place near Athens, TX. It is a common Texas water snake and is non-poisonous. You can usually see their stripes pretty good even when they are in the water....

Just like Mosey said, it will stay hot for a long time, and it is difficult to put it out even with water. Last year at our weekend place in the woods, I burned a pile of trees that we had cleared...
