I know…. this is pretty lame.

What can I say… I’m an engineer.

Bummer. It is a lot of fun. I’ve had it running on three different computers here.

I knew we had a picture of her around here somewhere!

Does the Permethrin act as a repellant or as an insecticide?

I believe it acts as an insecticide.

As an aside, it is also the main ingredient in the shampoo used to treat head lice. So, it probably doesn’t cause too much dain bramage.

I would definitely recommend trying Permethrin repellent on your clothes if you are worried about picking up ticks.

I’m in full agreement with this. For the last WGA campout at Hartman Creek, I had a pair of pants and a T-shirt that I treated with Permethrin. I then went and helped the park naturalist (along with many others) go and pull garlic mustard. The naturalist wore an all white jump suit so she could see (and remove) the ticks before they found pay dirt. We were stomping around in the same woods for hours, and I saw her pick off no less than 3 or 4 dozen ticks from her white suit.

Every time I looked over myself for the little buggers, I never found any of them. She could not believe how well the treatment worked.

It was about a week before the campout that I took my pants and shirt outside, hung them on the clothes line, treated them with the chemical, then let them dry. I will do the same before the camoput at High Cliff this spring.

Watching…..

Always watching.

I heard on a show on Wisconsin Public Radio about somebody who had the exact same problem. The tree expert on the radio pronounced the tree dead, right on the spot.

R.I.P.

Does this kind of tree make good firewood?

Our IT guy really recommends Malware Bytes in order to get rid of malware and other nasties. It’s free and very effective.

Just a few hours left!

Mostly Firefox.

IE when I have to.

Chrome when I’m on my “slower” PC as it seems to be lightning-fast.

Using Mapquest was something that I learned about during my days as a reviewer. They have *much* better coverage out in the boondocks than does Google.

I don’t know if this link will work: Map Quest Link (you may need to zoom out)

The above link is for these co-ords: N44 02.565 W89 05.834

Making this a “Sticky” so it stays at the top of the forum.

I will be closely watching how this progresses. I like the choices presented.

[Buy_The_Tie]

Can I vote too?

No, wait, I already did.

“Impartial” = “Abstain”

I didn’t like the new one enough to vote for it.

I didn’t dislike the new one to vote against it.
