Brian G Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Yesterday I ran across my first bunch of wasps for the year, trying to start a nest. These are the highly aggressive *orange* variety of "red" wasp we have down here (we have regular red wasps too). These bad boys don't like you before you get out of the truck, and they won't hesitate to come after your butt if you get a little too close (like under 8 - 10 feet). This shot was taken at full telephoto on my camera. Image Insert: 106.12 KB Brian G. Agent Orange Indeed [:-scared]
Richard Moore Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 I thought the downside of spring was having to discuss Les's tulips.
ozofprev Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Snow here too. In fact, I've started house-hunting in Charlotte (Huntersville) NC. Anyone know of builders in the area who are very good (or very bad)? How are the Ryan homes in Charlotte?
Chad Fabry Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 yep, still white as Dick Cheney's ass here too.

hausdok Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Hey Les! Next month is the tulip festival up in Mount Vernon. There will be miles and miles of tulip beds on display. You should come on out. Stay at Richard's place; he's got a ton of room. [] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
Richard Moore Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Les would be welcome. Besides tulips, we can aslo discuss the trauma of being named Leslie, my unfortunate middle name. Yep...Dick Les for short! I know you guys won't use that against me?
Phillip Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Les, Here are some tulips for you. Image Insert: 75.71 KB
Brian G Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 Jeez, I start a perfectly good wasp thread and it quickly drifts into *tulips*. What's the world coming to? [:-irked][] Brian G. Sending Les a Special Package Soon.... [:-scared]
Les Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 This is what mine looked like this morning! Image Insert: 128.73 KB Image Insert: 129.64 KB Brian, The last special package I received is now costing me $40,000 per year in tuition!

Brian G Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 It's already up and running in Mississippi. I'm mowing grass and washing a daily layer of pollen off my truck. Not a ton of fun, but better than snow. [:-party] Brian G. My Blue Truck Is Yellow Every Morning [:-irked]
Brian G Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 I hardly know one flower from another, but I thought these were lovely. This was a house that had been unoccupied a while, over in the edge of Bama. Image Insert: 224.8 KB Stick that in yer tulip beds. [] Brian G. Real Purty [^]
ozofprev Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 That is purdy, Brian. There are lilacs and other very beautiful blossoms around NY, but they don't last nearly long enough. That's why we are house-hunting in Charlotte, NC.
