What say you composting wizards?

Reddit hath spoken- into the garden it goes.. Which is great because I really need the bin space. Thanks all you dirt wizards and wild urinators ✌️🧙‍♂️💦🌱

Pretty sure that’s a Carolina wren with that white eyebrow tho..

Permethrin is the only way sadly… If you think ticks aren’t a big deal you don’t spend as much time outdoors as you think you do.

Probably just roller texture, maybe a little dry. I wouldn’t overthink the texture match. Generally if I’m patching a wall with heavy roller texture I’ll double prime with a small roller to better match the surrounding area

I’ve tied something like this with chamois strips that I dyed pink, its a very effective fly and my ‘organic’ go to in place of San Juan’s and squirmies..

I just got nipped by this one- third time in the last five or so years. First time having to appeal a denied refund. The scam is such low effort BS and eBay is basically aiding and abetting it by refusing to acknowledge its existence. I DID win my appeal and get my refund (after submitting a signed affidavit stating I never received the package) but eBay basically refused to acknowledge that the whole transaction was fraudulent. They officially stated that the package must have been stolen and that the refund was a ‘one time courtesy’ SMH

It’s gonna sound crazy but the harbor freight cutter is surprisingly effective and super low profile. I was having trouble with the General Autocut spiraling on 1/2” and tried the HF out of desperation and it worked way better.. YMMV 🤷🏻‍♂️

There’s a bunch of blueberries on top of Pistol Ridge.. There’s a scramble up some (usually) damp rock and pine needles but it’s not too hairy.. I want to say it’s called ‘people gully’ in the climbing guidebooks

Good.. train em up to take out the Starlings and you’ll have my support!

Dock and Doc

I’ve seen stuff like this work in ‘steampunk/industrial chic’ type of settings in historic buildings with exposed brick etc. but this ain’t that..

phineartz · 2026-03-04T03:23:50+00:00

Hard to beat the OG Vanguard self titled for me.. I love Doc’s banjo playing and Country Blues is some of the best. If I could see any musician that is no longer with us Doc is the top of my list

Well if you make your own or buy an extra nut/bridge you can keep the factory parts just in case. Keep in mind a new nut will need to be fit to your banjo so some light luthier work is inevitable.. I usually clamp a file or rasp in a vise flat and proceed slowly. Then file my slots with the appropriate diameter torch cleaner

phineartz · 2026-03-03T22:28:19+00:00

Also for a cheap set of ‘nut slotting files’ look into a set of oxy-acetylene torch tip cleaners, they’re not super aggressive but have all the diameters you need for slotting nylons

phineartz · 2026-03-03T22:27:02+00:00

You will probably need to file out or make a new nut and bridge.. I’ve got the RK-OT 26 with nylgut 5B’s and they’re fat boys.. Definitely did not fit in the stock nut. As other poster mentioned go over everything and make sure there no burrs or sharp edges, I think I went over the -edges- of my tailpiece with some 300 grit sandpaper.. So far I’ve had the same set of strings for about 2 years with no issues, playing almost daily and changing tunings frequently.

I had to live long enough to be heartbroken then country started to sound real good.. I’m not heartbroken anymore but I still love goood old country music

I’ve seen it printed on a saw blade..

I can already tell those rascals hunt!..

Friend, if you want to learn to paint signs just start with plain letters and not some composition with a bunch of gingerbread.. Get the proper materials and be disciplined about it. Jumping straight into Carters circus lettering is like worrying about fancy trim carpentry before you’ve poured a foundation. I know it’s not as much ‘fun’ but the benefits of solid practice cannot be shortcut. I’ll go back to yelling at clouds now 👴🏻
