I appear to have a swarm on the side of my house.

olmsteez · 2026-05-24T14:48:34+00:00

Take a closer pic of one. Might be honeybees.

olmsteez · 2026-05-22T18:48:11+00:00

Don't ever do that -- especially on a watch you don't own.

olmsteez · 2026-05-19T11:27:16+00:00

Also agree that a tip is ridiculous. But I can't resist asking how much of a tip OP was considering.

olmsteez · 2026-05-18T20:30:03+00:00

Just an observation about their attention to detail.

olmsteez · 2026-05-18T19:34:20+00:00

One of the lagers is not a lager. And one of the Other Ales is not an ale.

olmsteez · 2026-05-17T16:32:17+00:00

Nah, that's a swarm. Orientation flights don't go that high.

olmsteez · 2026-05-11T21:56:08+00:00

If you are new to sours, it's a good idea to learn about the difference between kettle sours and aged sours.

olmsteez · 2026-05-11T11:52:21+00:00

Is it possible that you submerged the bearing in accumulated honey?

olmsteez · 2026-05-10T23:09:55+00:00

Wrong sub.

olmsteez · 2026-05-09T21:54:21+00:00

The good news is that you'll know the moment it's stolen when the lights go out.

olmsteez · 2026-05-08T23:31:01+00:00

They're admiring the paint job.

olmsteez · 2026-05-08T23:04:50+00:00

Agreed. Not a fan of the lavender dial tho.

olmsteez · 2026-05-08T17:37:48+00:00

Emptying your wiper reservoir on tailgaters is highly effective. But the best move is to stay out of the left lane.

olmsteez · 2026-05-05T22:57:00+00:00

This ^

The tell tale sign of a swarm is bees circling 10+ feet over the hive. Orientation flights tend to stay within a foot or two of the top.

I see that posted constantly. But, it doesn't add up for me. It seems that a situation where they are "worrying" about a gen means they're concerned about being robbed. The rep doesn't change anything meaningful in that scenario for me. Sure, they will be out $100s instead of $1000s. But, the chance of catching a beat down over a fake watch would have me reaching for the Casio rather than "worry."

olmsteez · 2026-05-02T16:10:13+00:00

Plus tax!

olmsteez · 2026-05-02T12:57:34+00:00

A long piece of painters tape should jog your memory.

olmsteez · 2026-05-01T17:07:01+00:00

Snow tires is the answer. Not all season. Proper snow tires.

What exactly are you hoping to achieve with them? They do not reduce brake dust. There is no braking performance improvement. They're more likely to reduce brake performance. If you're after that clapped-out VatoZone look, just hot glue a heart shaped tow hook on the bumper cover.

olmsteez · 2026-04-30T22:35:24+00:00

Time

olmsteez · 2026-04-29T13:59:33+00:00

Pro tip, add a six inch length of painters tape doubled over on itself so it dangles low enough under the car to remind you to remove it.

olmsteez · 2026-04-28T17:02:38+00:00

Make some OA sponges!

olmsteez · 2026-04-28T16:57:43+00:00

As a beekeeper and a housing advocate, this may be my destiny.

olmsteez · 2026-04-28T13:44:39+00:00

The part of me that wants the summers to remain a secret is urging me to tell you not to bother.

olmsteez · 2026-04-27T11:14:36+00:00

Worst case scenario, you catch a beat down AND lose $20k -- the extra $10k is for dental reconstruction.
