Tater gun stuffed with a shrimp throw net, you catch it you keep it. I just got a 1600 mW solid state laser from China that runs off 12V (I think, I haven't really looked at it yet) to put on a little burning machine, I got to thinking that mounting that sucker on a quadcopter with some targeting software and FPV goggles would be just the thing when them crackas show up wanting their machine back. Say hello to my leetle fren CAUTION: Do Not Look at Laser with Remaining Eye Or even better than the spud gun but then the device would be disabled if the brains got burned through. --R On 7/30/15 9:52 AM, Curly McLain via Mercedes wrote: I see a market for gun-like tool which shoots a net or somesuch to bring down a drone.

Re: [MBZ] Why diesel prices are plummeting
There was an article in the WSJ a coupla days ago about gasoline and diesel inventories, and diesel is way high due to it being a byproduct of gasoline refining, and gasoline is being refined at a high rate, apparently due to some refineries having recently come on line in the Middle East. (It wasn't clear where all the gasoline was going, or if it was going, or the stuff was just being refined to keep up with the petroleum that is being pumped) The stuff seems to be building up everywhere and coupled with high inventories and weak demand prices are expected to remain quite low for some time. And now the Iranium supplies will be hitting the world market so expect further price declines. --R On 7/30/15 9:21 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: My local River Road Valero is at the lowest ever - $2.79/gal.

Spray your yard with insecticide. d D T IF you can find it... mehiho... otherwise Diazanon is what the extension folks recommend. Keep Diazanon OFF pets/animals. The prior suggestion can be sprayed on animals, but the latter will kill animals that lick like dogs/cats. Diazanon is the weapon of choice at the goof courses. No bugs, no 'dillo I'd look at the 'dillo as doing you a favor. You don't have to aerate your lawn. And I have an armadillo that is creating literally hundreds of divots in my back yard digging for bugs, I presume. No armadillo traps or poison. He leaves before I get up in the morning, so plugging him with the pellet pistol isn't an option. I'm thinking about a little chicken wire or hardware cloth fence to keep him out.

Hmm. Might have to look at that. Only problem I see is that armadillos carry leoprosy. Dan You could start your own leper colony. Its one way to keep the neighbors away.

I know one of them was a big frickin' ram of some sort. He had this huge grizzly bear that looked like the polar bear that was in the Adams Family, standing on its hind legs with its front legs straight up. Darned thing must have been 12 feet tall or more. He did this stuff by getting dropped off in the Styx and left to hunt and track the animals for several days. Rarely used a guide, so I was told. At least he was sporting about it. Not sure I understand the attraction of having dead animal heads hanging on my walls. I likened it to driving a Corvette or a Hummer (pen*s envy?)

Re: [MBZ] Why diesel prices are plummeting
Couple of points: Crude supply is now in oversupply. The Shale Oil beds in USA are producing at record rates. So much, that purchase of Saudi Crude is now to record lows. Saudis have their man dresses in a twist because sales are down so much and to counter, they have upped production and sales of OPEC crude. Price per barrel is at a record low, presently. The USA Dollar against other world currency, has gained slightly, thus has more buying power, as the World Reserve Currency [presently]. BRIC has not worked to date, although it's still pressing on to become the world reserve currency. At the present moment.. all the BRIC countries are experiencing financial collapse on a scale never imagined... China for example just lost record value on it's stock market. Russia is broke, and oil sales revenues are in the toilet due to the crash of per barrel prices. etc.. Relax, it's temporary.. soon we in America will feel the induced pain, as planned. The trickle up poverty plan of our exalted self anointed leader is set to finally work.
