You didn't outrun them, they gave up after they figured you'd had enough! Yellow jackets cruise around 10 mph but can get close to 30 mph for short bursts. While running away in an opens station in road gear they easily kept up, so I looked it up.

'zactly! I tried running a matched pair of singles but they would get tossed. No local source for the banded B section belts, which are available online, but I found it ran fine with just a single B belt so never bothered to put a banded one on it. My Scag mower has a propriety banded belt that for which seems to be no aftermarket replacement and they're really proud of it! Thankfully they run for many hours.

Nah. When a rock takes a couple out you just replace them. Aftermarket flails are what I used. When you look at it have the seller run it. Big bearings on the drum are expensive and should be greased regularly. Look for cracks.

Irish twins refers to children born less than a year apart and often ending up in the same grade in school. It was used it to mock large Irish-Catholic immigrant families in America. Birth control was considered a sin by the Catholic Church - take what God gives you, propagate the faith.

We have an above ground pool with a deck. Brown wasps nest under it and never bother anyone so I leave them alone. Yellow wasps of some type got in the house under the eves and I ended up making a device on a long piece of strapping with a hose full of insecticide strapped to it triggered with a couple hundred feet of air hose from the shop. It successfully blasted enough powder in two attempts to kill them all. They had gotten deep in the house. I like the liquid spray. I hit a bald face nest with foam and they seemed to just bathe in it. Liquid soaking the nest took care of those aggressive SOBs.

Too soon!

Here's a good explanation from a reliable source of what data centers are and there are several different types: https://www.forbes.com/sites/technology/article/what-is-a-data-center/

Red Tail Aviation out of Moab, Utah, set up a temporary landing strip and ferried moneyed folks from Reno in their Kodiak planes. Some of the later flights I did transferred to them to get to their well provisioned RV already staged at Burning Man. Red Tail runs the FBO at Canyon Land Airport. We visited often as the principle had a home on the Colorado River there. Since we bought lots of jet fuel and our plane sunk into the ramp they cast a concrete parking area just for us. It was good incentive for us to keep buying more fuel than we needed for the courtesy.

Certainly a good idea. Here in the "Live Free or Die" state there is NO requirement for any auto insurance. I guess it's OK for someone living up near the Canadian border who doesn't drive very far but overall it's crazy. Drivers are supposed to be able to prove financial responsibility but that doesn't stop you from registering a car and police don't ask for proof of insurance if stopped for a minor traffic violation as in other states. If you cause a crash you have responsibility to pay and will likely to be sued and loose driving privilege. I guess those living in a dilapidated trailer in the woods with meth teeth don't care. Those with enough money to be financially responsible buy insurance. It's all strange.

No but I was fortunate enough to be at Kilauea during an unforeseen two day eruption back in the early '80s. After having toured the whole Big Island including the many craters I heard that Kilauea had become active after having been quiet for years, so I drove up there. It was spouting lava in spectacular fashion in the caldera below Volcano House. There were only a few other spectators on the rim with me, maybe a hundred or so max. After a while it got very cold on the mountain so I drove back to my hotel in Hilo. As it got light I drove back and the eruption had died down to a huge pot of bubbling lava. The rangers let the small group of us get right up to it and the heat radiating was more than the biggest campfire - you had to rotate. It was blowing lava into the air which cooled a bit and came down like rocks with a soft core. When the wind shifted we had to back(run) away. The Hawaiian rangers were really laid back but the radio chatter increased, the ground rumbled and cracked we we beat a strategic retreat. Where flowing lava stops it often leaves a toe. I put my foot on one while walking past to feel the heat through the shoe and it cracked open! Volcano went quiet that day and was so for some years until wakening with a vengeance. Since I was then regularly flying there I got to see it again and fly over it often. Yeah, I had a great career.

Although there is some airline service it’s not a major passenger airport. Actually, most of those have chain link fencing that could be easily breached by a 120 mph Mustang. This kid had a half dozen cops on his tail. When the airport was an active military base with nuclear bombers he’d have died in a hail of gunfire. Now is ANG tankers and civil field combined. FIL was police until he found an opportunity to train and change MOS to aircraft mechanic on the B47 and B52s.

NH is, as far as I know, the only state that doesn’t require any insurance and why we normal folks all carry uninsured motorist insurance. Anyway, the PC 12 is one of Plane Sense’s and they likely have it covered. Just to drive to my Tee hangar we need one million coverage and the PDA, or airport authority, named on the policy. I got rear-ended and the first thing out of the other driver ’s mouth when I asked her if she was okay was “I don’t have insurance” . My coverage paid for a new rear bumper, her car was totaled plus my insurance company would likely surrogate and she’d loose her license. Anyway, the drunken kid is only 17 and may skate if not charged as an adult. Story is he crashed the gate at the FBO at 120 mph!

One wing is torn off, it’s a total.

I flew passengers into Reno for burning man many times . Yep, all sorts of costumes and a lots of excitement from aging hippies. When returning they and all their clothes and luggage was covered with playa, a very fine white dust that gets everywhere. Plane would need a complete detailing after. The National Auto Museum is in Reno and has many of the Harrah cars, a very good take.

My wife said it was quite a sight when I was fleeing in an open station in road gear across a lumpy field. From my perspective they were keeping up easily and didn't give up for about 1500'. I imagined the little suckers were laughing at me.

He was always polite and proper in English and it seems when talking in Farsi with other Persians who visited but multiple yellow jacket stings brought out some language I'd never heard before.

Pictures you see have been cut and pasted - that works.

Road in front our place is State of NH as it used to be Route 151 until the Pease AFB cut it. State still maintains it to where the runway cut it off then new town road around the end starts to reconnect north and south Newington. Anyway, they mow it once a year with an offset flail on a Kubota. I handles anything the grew up in the previous year. I keep our frontage mowed clean as do some others.

My roommate hit a nest while mowing the lawn on the house we'd rented. After the tirade of curses in Farsi he filled the hole with gasoline, touched it off and watched with a smile and some beer we had left over from a party.

This kid kid runs from police crashes fence and tears wing off a PC12. News story says small plane but the small plane is a PC12 worth anywhere from 2 to 6 million depending on age and hours. https://www.facebook.com/manchesterinformation/posts/daytime-photos-of-the-plane-damaged-during-a-high-speed-pursuit-onto-the-tarmac-/1551013860375499/

Medicare covers it, Medicaid varies by state. Google free testing and there are options for free tests. I've always had descent health insurance either with my employer or now on my wife's so it's never been a question. I suspect all private insurers cover it as it's cheaper to catch early than to pay for radical surgery or treat if it becomes metastatic. The American Cancer site will have good info for those who need it. Most insurers have figured out that early detection of anything whether breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart and blood problems, etc., cost them less to detect and treat early.
