I find that it helps to bite down on the kinked wire to squeeze the kink as tight as possible.

More showers today but ostensibly dry tomorrow, so I will try to do my fiber glass project then.

I finally got an arboriculturist out to quote removing my bee tree with a local bee advocate present to discuss how to do so and preserve the bees. The advocate will transport the trunk section containing them and set it up as a hive in an area where they won't be disturbed.

It breaks my heart to have to do so, but the tree is almost completely dead and in danger of dropping major limbs. We've watched the hive grow and ebb over the last 13 years and they feel almost like our kids.
 
Back when I was really young and dumb, I woke up one morning and went to the bathroom to take my morning whizz. I looked out the window at the pine tree next to the house and thought, "How in the heck did a basketball get stuck in my tree?"
The "basketball" turned out to be a butt load of bees. I'm standing there, pondering how many cans of Raid it'll take to get rid of 'em and how many stings I'll have to endure. The neighbor gal, twice my age plus a few years, told me to call the farmer a mile or so away. I'd gone to school with his daughter, so I knew who she was talking about.
Long story short, he shows up, no bee suit, no smoker, with a cardboard box. He reaches, bare handed, into the center of the ball, fishes around for a second, and pulls a bee the size of my thumb out of the ball. He sticks it in the box, and within a half hour, all of the bees were in the box.
I thanked him, and he thanked me. Turned out that he had a few hives and could always use more bees.
I learned a valuable lesson.
 
PS: I got my eyes checked and the protein coating on my cataract lens is not yet bad enough to laser clean, but my prescription was off some. I ordered new frames and glasses, because otherwise I would have to left my existing frames with them and I legally need glasses to drive home.

I had her rebuild the temples and nose pieces to keep as a spare, as they are the best frames I've ever had. Made of Titanium, so they take a lot of abuse without bending and are lightweight with polycarbonate lenses.

It's that time again, boys and girls. I'd love to give ya all a big squeeze but it would probably violate my parole, so I'll just give ya's a telepathic hug and a sneaky feel.
This song goes out to all of ya's, but especially an old friend that likes his women a little on the fluffy side.

Good to hear it turned out well brother cause the bees are really struggling right now. Especially here in town where people spray their ornamental gardens with pesticides. There are also diseases, parasites, and Murder Hornets to contend with, making it harder to continue to survive.

Morning has arrived, and the pond level is holding stable.
Took me a week to find the leak and it turned out to be in an old section of 2 inch PVC flex hose going from the center bottom main drain that was plugged up by mud created over the yrs.
I found out that termites like to eat the soft flew PVC pipe and cause leaks from a pool guy.
So........................
I isolated that section and pond has stopped losing water it appears so far after 24hrs again.
Now to plug the hose and be done with it, the purpose of bottom drain has not been needed in yrs.
I am a Happy Man .
