Are you sure it's moles and not voles? I thought I had moles but I'm leaning toward voles the more i look at it. They make little holes around your foundation and driveway where they pop out but they make tunnel too. Tearing my place up.

My grandfather was one of the troops rushed over there after the battle started to try to plug the hole. They stopped the Germans and he eventually got wounded in a smaller action known as the battle of Banholtz Woods in February 1945 as the allies were pushing back into Germany. He was in the 94th Div. As a kid I remember seeing him with his shirt off and he had a huge hole/scar in his shoulder from shrapnel. I also recall him telling a story when I was a kid about his company running across a road and the germans were shooting down the road at them with an MG42 and the tracers were going between him and the man running in front of him. Crazy stuff. Wish he was around still so I could ask him all about it.

Is building blinds out of wood not an option? Would be a lot cheaper.

I never noticed the illegals where I live when Biden was in office. I mean they were here but it wasn't as bad as what you see on tv. After Trump got elected I see them everywhere. In the grocery stores, Lowes, freakin waffle house. Its ridiculous. My theory is the increased ice enforcement in certain areas has dispersed them everywhere... :banghead:

I'm thinking of putting a flat metal roof on it and have a small approx. 1.5" gap at the top between the roof and rafters and then adding a closable vent on the back wall down low. The structure is only 3'x5' roughly. He currently uses a heat lamp in the winter in his current well house but we only really freeze down here a few nights a year.

Trump usually says stuff like this right before it comes out. I have a feeling some folks are gonna be called to account very soon.

Almost hit one with my SUV earlier.
I opened up my front door tonight and had a bear right outside my doorway

Had to slam on my brakes outside of gatlinburg because one ran out in front of me

Tonight I was taking a bag out to my vehicle and there was a huge bear about 3 or 4 feet away from me. It took off running

We went to Gatlinburg this same time of year back in 2023. Black bears were everywhere. Heard or read somewhere that they are getting ready to hibernate for the winter so they are out and about eating as much as they can before that happens. Apparently this time of year it is common to see them everywhere and have interactions with them.

So I am getting ready to put out my pre emergent tomorrow. Supposed to rain Saturday here. I've still got Lespedeza and VBW left over from the summer. I'm losing the battle with both of those. Will killing these now with Celsius and WFZ help with keeping them in check next spring/summer or am I just wasting time as they will die back as soon as it gets cooler and nothing I do now will impact next year?

Greencast has my soil temp at 79 degrees this morning. Is 70 the magic number in the fall as well?

This thing with Kirk and the Ukrainian girl on the bus has just really shown how broken society is. Plus all of the school shootings, corruption in politics, radical islamists, etc. etc. etc.

Jesus needs to come quickly because things are not going to get any better. Society is in a decline.
