Raccoons in the dog house !  I let my German Shorthair out yesterday morning and all of a sudden she looked like a Rhodesian Ridgeback with her hair standing up.  ;D Raccoons and Shorhairs make a bad combo.  Made a removal "tool" to get a loop of rope around its head and dragged it out of my fenced backyard where it quickly went up into a neighbors maple tree. Now if I can just get rid of the deer she barks at out the window during the night I could live in peace  ;)

Eric,did you by any chance make a video of pulling that racoon out ??  ;D

  My wife got a few 'action' pictures on her phone camera while I was yanking it out and dragging it out the fence gate. Little critter put up a pretty good tussle. The can grab stuff with their back feet/claws pretty well.

We had a Chow-Collie mix that was a gentle with kids as the day was long. Loved that dog.
She was a fierce protector of the kids and of her backyard and us. Didn't have to be trained...
A raccoon made the mistake one night of going in our backyard. It made it into a tree in the backyard where it climbed to 12-15 feet in the tree. I tried to persuade it to leave hosi g it down but it clinged to the tree. The dig would park itself at the base of the tree or nearby, she was an outside dog, had to be forcibly dragged into a house in winter time when it was not safe for her to be outside...she was built for cold weather....a winter coat so thick.a furrier would be jealousy would be visible across a NYC street. That dog loved the snow and cold and she loved us.
Anyway,we took the dog out of the backyard knowing the racoons wouldn't come out of the tree, lest he be lunch or a snake for the dog, so we chained her to the front white picket fence panel we had put between the walkway and yard. It gave us a nice support to semi-trellis the roses planted there
 The dog had a 10 foot leash from the tie off point. Surprisingly she was really quiet in the front yard. Taking her for a walk was like taking a locomotive for a walk. She was very very strong and those front legs and shoulders were stout!
That raccoon didn't leave until the third day. During the day the dig went back to the backyard and had the run of the yard...
That raccoon was scared #$%* less for 3 days, no droppings beneath the tree.
Kids were instructed to stay away from the tree. We had a picnic table I built, it was a 2 person moving table as I built it to last. It was heavy and I didn't have to worry about tilting or toppling if I sat alone at the table. I was 275-285 and 6'4" at the time... Lifting 300lbs wasn't difficult, 375-400 was lifted many times...
The picnic table didn't even begin to raise the other side's legs... The legs were built with pressure treated wood.the top with regular construction grade 2x6x6 or was it 8 feet? Might have been 8'probable was as we had friends over and everyone sat there easily. I built it my size so the food surface didn't make me bend over like most do if I wanted to put my elbows down without arching my back. So it was about 3 inches higher than typical bench top to tabletop height. I have a long torso and my height is in my torso. If they x-ray my sternum it is always 2 images. Same with my pelvis...it won't fit on one X-ray.
I think I should have been 6'8" - 6'10"

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

you are totally misinformed and ignorant of the facts. What's worse is that you continually hang with the sheep. "these aren't the droids you are looking for" right? And then smugly laugh at those of us who are standing for our country.
Furthermore, you do it behind a keyboard.
Fauci and his organization did in fact contribute MY money to research gain-of-function in viruses , even after Obama technically removed the "funding"...back in 2014, I think?....Regardless Fauci continued anyway with money ending up supporting the wuhan lab "research". That re-engineered virus, accidently but none of the less, escaped from that lab and created this chaos.
You know about the chinese lab found in Ca. a while ago ?
Regular media plays into this hook, line, and sinker.

It should be removed, because it’s bullsh1t. As far as “standing behind my keyboard” goes, so are you mate, and considering that we’re thousands of miles apart, can you suggest another medium to discuss the subject?

Seriously, as Trevor said, the whole Fauci story was a fabrication and only believed by a small percentage of people in your country, and pretty much nobody else outside the US. You’re entitled to your own opinion, but that doesn’t mean you’re right. I’m a conservative voter, I think “Sleepy Joe” is too old to do another term, so I hope Nikki Haley gets in, and the far right radicals like Margarine Traitor Green get their marching orders.

Mods, apologies for discussing politics, feel free to remove my post. ;D

I bought two reasonably cheap HJC brand helmets, and they're falling apart!

The front clip on the visor is a weak point, and breaks off. The plastic on the pinlock insert tabs is brittle and snaps. The visor mounting plastic on one side of one helmet broke away (which I fixed with a ground down nut held in place with J-B Weld, and two button head metal screws instead of brittle plastic). The internal tinted visors are iffy, at best.

But what really annoys me is these are the most comfortable helmets I've ever owned! They're fantastic at freeways speeds, and I can go several hours without head fatigue. Go figure...

Well, I have CoVID, one of the many mutated strains of Omicron that's SARS-CoV-2

You are talking about an HIV strain, never claimed that... Sure that was debunked, it was BS.

 You read that report of the scientist who published the refuting the SARS-COV-2 was engineered or not...they guy certainly makes a lot of jumps in assumptions with no example of anyone finding a pangolin which has the supposed close thing that this scientist is reporting as fact that jumped species/to humans. You would think by now they would have find the smoking gun as it were...that is a n animal infected with a close variant, they have not... meaning an example of the virus which could jump species to human transmission

Fauci funded gain of function testing in Wuhan labs, established fact. Fauci was in the original patent for the SARS-CoV-1 virus as they patented that work.
 That was the virus they sent to Wuhan to do gain of function testing. Gain of function is essentially that of biological weapons testing and research for that purpose, that is outlawed 8n the ZUS so the CDC has been doing some of this until someone pointed out the legalities I presume because they don't come out and say it but they say they can no longer do gain 9f function testing in the US, One mile outside the  US Territorial waters is fair game and some tankers or other large ships have full level 2 Laboratories for the purpose of doing stuff outside the US, yeah skirting the laws...

The testing often uses animals that are possible to give a good representation of human biological responses, this the humanized mice... All part of playing with the genetics and breeding mice with the traits they want... sometimes those traits have been introduced using methods you would expect. They parent the offspring that have these traits and you just breed them and feed them with plenty of food and nature ramps up the offspring in response to the plenty of food and they spawn lots of mice...



Oh well, who cares? I'm sick with one of the many omicron variants and the doctor said omicron is changing constantly with various strains. Fortunately it responds in the same way to treatment, therefore it's basic treatment is the same as before.


Having CoVID that pisses me off. My head hurts so bad I cannot sleep. My eyeballs hurt...whether open or closed. What kind of virus.makes your entire eyes hurt???
CoVID

Oh well, maybe I have drank the KoolAid , but things don't add up when I look at stuff. One fact about Fauci is he constantlu changed his stance and tried to proje t he had things under control but he was and is a beurocrat/politician...
The old joke... So how do you know a politician is lying, their lips are moving...

Conspiratorial rabbit holes at this point make me laugh. "Baaaah" -- I'm a sheep!

Not sure why the mods are letting all the bull5hit fly these days, but hey -- there's a huge number of people who want a rapist scam artist who led an insurrection and is currently facing some 91 criminal charges ( as well as losing an $83 million judgment -- after a $5 million judgment-- for defamation over one of his sexual assault victims because he couldn't keep his mouth shut) to overturn a fair election in the oval office because they think he represents "their interests." You should see the Fox interview with the president of UAW on whose interests he really serves (hint: it ain't workin' folks). Just read today that Fox viewers are unaware the network had to pay out almost $800 million for defaming Dominion -- no wonder they're so misinformed! The world is flat and the moon is made of cheese!

Have at it boys!

I bought two reasonably cheap HJC brand helmets, and they're falling apart!

The front clip on the visor is a weak point, and breaks off. The plastic on the pinlock insert tabs is brittle and snaps. The visor mounting plastic on one side of one helmet broke away (which I fixed with a ground down nut held in place with J-B Weld, and two button head metal screws instead of brittle plastic). The internal tinted visors are iffy, at best.

But what really annoys me is these are the most comfortable helmets I've ever owned! They're fantastic at freeways speeds, and I can go several hours without head fatigue. Go figure...

Trevor….. I got a chuckle from this post. My 7-8 year old HJC “flip front” helmet is the same. It’s had a few problems, but it’s still my favorite for all the reasons you listed! A few years ago I had to replace the inside, dark visor too. Then one of the pinlock things snapped. Somewhere I found a phone number for the Canadian HJC distributor and gave them a call. A nice lady sent me an envelope full of spare bits, for free! I may buy another one, the new ones look more substantial.

Conspiratorial rabbit holes at this point make me laugh. "Baaaah" -- I'm a sheep!

Not sure why the mods are letting all the bull5hit fly these days, but hey -- there's a huge number of people who want a rapist scam artist who led an insurrection and is currently facing some 91 criminal charges ( as well as losing an $83 million judgment -- after a $5 million judgment-- for defamation over one of his sexual assault victims because he couldn't keep his mouth shut) to overturn a fair election in the oval office because they think he represents "their interests." You should see the Fox interview with the president of UAW on whose interests he really serves (hint: it ain't workin' folks). Just read today that Fox viewers are unaware the network had to pay out almost $800 million for defaming Dominion -- no wonder they're so misinformed! The world is flat and the moon is made of cheese!

Have at it boys!

I wouldn’t be counting all your chickens before they hatch..?

^^^^^DITTO!

While we all have our own and differing viewpoints, our bikes are and should be the common thread, let's try to keep it that way.
