There is a wild plant here that eats bugs, a Pitcher plant, I think they are in many places and are many different colors and shapes. Around here you find them in wet or damp areas. A bug goes in and the top closes. A rough idea of one type, internet pic. 4 Quote

DizRotus Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I like those photos. A Rat motor powered Ford Falcon? You don't see those every day. It occurs to me there are MANY MORE Chevy powered Fords than there are Ford powered Chevrolets. 3 Quote
Schu Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Id love to drive that sucker around town... I love fuel altered and gasers Quote

Times have dropped and speeds have risen to the point they need to shorten the distance to keep it "safe." I was at US 131 Dragway in Martin, MI the night "Big Daddy" Don Garlits turned (at that track) the first 7 second -- lower than 8.0 -- quarter mile in his AA/Fueler. Now gassers and pro-stockers are in the 7s. 2 Quote

Pro Stock has been in the mid 6's for quite awhile now . Quote

I always hated running and basic training confirmed it . Actually the whole force march stuff was worse than running . Quote

But first you'd need to confirm whether fungi can be shipped from Australia, a country not known for its spore ports. Groan away @CECAA850. Carl- Does this @CECAA850 business work? If you were aware of this and didn't groan, my feelings are hurt. 2 Quote
CECAA850 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 @DizRotus works. It's too early for my brain to function though. Coffee! 2 Quote
mungkiman Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 My current residential construction project slowed down long enough for doves to build nests on the foundation formwork. Here's a shot of a hen and chick sharing one of the nests. 3 Quote
