Bug ID Thread

So the correct answer was carpenter bees. Which as far as damage goes, it could have been much worse. They just bore and lay eggs without causing mass destruction.

Appears I have termites, powder post beetles, or some other wood destroying insect in my fence. A couple years ago I had giant carpenter ants coming into the house and bought a product called PT Phantom that seriously left those mf'ers dead in their tracks on the way to wherever they thought they we...

We've had a Samsung washer for at least 10 years and (knock on wood) never an issue. Bosch dishwasher, requires regular cleaning but no issues other than once we kinked a hose when putting it back in after doing some plumbing and it cracked. New hose, all good. Our GE fridge is 9 years old and was n...

She talks to her mom once a day and her sisters at least weekly.
I have family that does this and I don't get it at all.
I overhear most of their conversations and honestly don't know what the hell they talk about.

I’d love to hear that guy explain where that rusty dust pan came from. There is a greater than 90% chance it was a hand me down from his dad, and his dad got it from the homestead works n'at.

If I don't believe it yet, I guess I'm never going to believe that otherwise seemingly sane people read that ish and still want to vote for the guy, because "sanctity of life" or "Biden's policies are worse" or whatever.

I’m glad my daughter wanted to stick with one sport. Being forced to watch softball or some other lame **** would be brutal. I don't mind watching softball, but it was really bad earlier in the season when no one could pitch. Watched the other team take a 9-0 lead through two innings without a sing...

I quit giving target completion times. too many variables. I got chewed out once for not having a brisket ready on time. No guarantees if it’s going to be done right.

My SIL cancelled her Memorial Day/Birthday barbecue because her township cancelled their parade. Weird, because the rain is supposed to hold off over there until 3pm at least, so now we're on our own. Had to go to Fresh Market to get burgers, etc. because I have nothing that's not frozen right now....

I’m having this same debate in my head right now. I have a 7 pounder that I’m debating whether to start it in the oven low tonight. Or just throw it in the smoker at 275 on the (early) morning. Started mine at 7 AM, 275, wrapped in foil after 4 hours (was 160 at that time) was at 200 by 5. It was f...

I’ve kept it between 250-275. Started at 7 am and I’m stalled on 174 for a couple hours now. I’d think it should be ready for dinner.

I think 225 for 20 hours or whatever is nonsense. I’m not that dedicated to the craft that I’d lose sleep over it.

Lazzara's is the one we like. Yes there's a Publix now, it opened in 2017 or so, We first went there in 2018 and it was open then.

Last we were there was August, 2020 so peak COVID. Will be glad to be back there during "normal" times again.

Smoking a 10 lb pork butt today. Local butcher had them on for $1.99 a pound a couple months ago and I bought three. Not sure why I bought a 10 pounder though. Gonna take a while.
