	So after the stick of doom visited the nest twice yesterday, there were a few stragglers left today. I would say they had won. This morning after my shower, it was obvious I need to be careful as my body does not like this poison. Chatting to Mickey over the fence, he said he had a solution, and less than 5 minutes later, he was there. Can of Asda (Walmart) wasp killer in hand. I was still trying to warn him when he was straight in....... After a few minutes, and a pair of gloves. And ripping the log out and tossing it on the lawn. Incredible how neatly they have hollowed out that log. And contents of the poison, I went back to ASDA to see if there was any in stock, nope. Maybe banned? As the wasps just fall out of the air when you spray. Tomorrow I will inspect again, and if no more wasps, I will clear up there cut back the shrubs a bit.

	If you want to kill a Wasp, brake cleaner is very effective. Alternatively, there's this, although it is a little extreme...

	Turns out, neither Sally, nor Greg the current lodger (Leaving on Friday) have ever held or shot anything except for shooting off their mouths. So a few beers, targets and two air rifles later, we had a full evening of fun. Started with the targets, set up at 24 meters, or 75 foot distance Sally got to shoot first, every shot, accompanied by a loud scream, and the fourth one followed by “I don’t want to do this anymore” Interesting, that at this distance, with a .177 calibration, she put this grouping together. Meant less competition for the rest of the evening, while she carried the beers and checked and marked off the groupings as we went through them. Spotter. Later, after the plying, we were sitting chatting outside till the mosquitos chased us indoors. I had just gone to fetch another beer when I heard screams, male and female. Came back to this..... Seems these two don’t like spiders much. A great evening

I have been coming up with a violent rash the last two days, so back onto the antihistamines Need to go clear out where the nest was.

	We do like a BBQ totti knows..... Ordered 30kg of BBQ Briquettes from Germany Let’s hope the reviews are accurate. Over the weekend, Sally asked me to help her do a sign for a work friend and colleague who had a double mastectomy. So I agreed. Ended up doing three, for two of her friends and her colleague Starting wit a rough sign, then a background painted on. Resulting in The other with added detail.... Result And 5 hrs later, seriously. The next big job was to wrap up the carport and driveway posts that had to be redone. Greg, the lodger, who left today helped after Andy moved out, he also taught me a whole lot about welding. He finished off the plates for me too. DONE. Galvazinc after finishing off. Spoke to the steel guy today, he should be here to do the steel work in two weeks. Price was a nice surprise.

	Signs went down well. It seems her bestie and her husband just can’t decide where to put it. I fetched the Custom Chevy C10 cab lifter made about 6 years ago from mate Martins place, along with another tool. This has lived outdoors in all weathers, all the yea5s, so will need me to make some rot repairs as one end already fell off when I unloaded it. Makes lifting a four man lift Sized cab off the chassis on your own using the engine hoist a piece of cake. The cab roller frame, built by Martin is a brilliant tool, despite an old wooden pallet with wheels doing the same job. The cab floor is stepped, and that’s reflected in the design, then add in four mounting points to secure it, and you can roll the cab about while working on it. I will tidy it up and add some wheels before packing it away with the lifter for future use. Been thinking of what route to go with my garage and carport “Forecourt” once the roof is on. Years ago when I made this fake pump, these colours appealed, they still do. The question is, do I develop the fake theme or use an existing brand. Copy and paste Been pressure cleaning the deck, furniture and repairing and painting all the stuff. While waiting for paint to dry today I also applied the stickers I had made this week by a mate on the body of the dummy pump. Other side...... I still need to draw up the design and hand paint the Belisha beacon. But am procrastinating.

	Looking for a Really cheap Jago Jeep. Primarily all the plastic bits. Or more complete. Pics are from old ads as example in case you don’t know what it is your neighbour has stashed awy. In case you have one parked in a hedge. Or out back, behind the house, that you forgot about. PM please if you have one stashed in a hedge, shed, council garage or some interesting place. Or if your aunties neighbour has one in their garage, under a ton of old magazines and cat litter. You never know. Pics for illustration only. PM please.

	If I find one for sensibly little beer tokens George, it will purely be stashed for later. But......... It would be a stupid build, and something I had never contemplated. Let’s hope someone has a large hedge..... and one stashed in said hedge, for me to release and clean up, and then store till some of my current jobs are done.
