    Why Have I Never Been Called for Jury Duty?

    Hummm. I've been registered to vote within a month of the couple of counties where I've lived in Minnesota. Not sure what they have against me. Personally, I'd like to serve on a jury.

    Why Have I Never Been Called for Jury Duty?

    With all this jury selection news for President Trump, I find myself wondering why I have never been called for jury duty...NEVER. It seems like everyone I know have been called, but not me. Many friends/family have been called several time. Me, zero. I wonder if some of my background has put...

    Booby traps

    We also have yellow belly sapsuckers. My wife took this video not too long ago.

    Booby traps

    Forgot those. We have Northern Flickers all over the place. I usually seen them pecking in the grass. I have never seen one on the house. They are members of the woodpecker family, so I don't doubt they can do some damage to house siding.

    Booby traps

    I've thought of hanging jars of Tannerite around the edges of the yard. When the zombies come to attack, I could shoot those jars. It wouldn't hurt them, but it might scare them away.

    Repel with 40% deet

    Ya know, we have two older vehicles. Our headlights have never turned hazy. I wonder if keeping the car in the shed has anything to do with it? I also know that you don't want to get DEET mosquito repellent anywheres near two objects that you might have on you: plastic eyeglass lenses...

    diet starting today

    Not a big fan of crash diets because you learn nothing and have not changed your lifestyle to something that is sustainable. Most fans of crash diets end up "yoyo dieting" all of their lives (or just give up).

    Booby traps

    We have mostly pileated, downy, and hairy woodpeckers.

    Booby traps

    The woodpeckers here were always pecking on the house. Then, we moved our suet feeder far from the house and problem solved. YMMV

    Booby traps

    Many of these ideas for booby traps would not work where we live. The deer and bear would be springing them all the time.

    Paint it Black - Just WOW!

    For some reason, I cannot get into more than one bagpipe song at a time. They sound like whining street cats to me. After one song, I've had enough. And BTW, I'd eat lutefisk a hundred times before I'd eat haggis.

    Repurposed item ideas

    Some of the things we've repurposed: An enamel basin made into a bathroom sink A colander made into a light shade. It makes pinecone designs on the wall. A beaver chewed stump made into a lamp. An old door used to back an open cupboard (the door was from our local jail when is was...

    It that motorcycle was a 1942 WLA "Liberator" made by Harley Davidson, I would give it a WOW post.

    This music style really resonates with my Norwegian heritage. Anyone else?
