I swear.....I don't know what the deal is, but two of my kid's cars had to have radiators replaced this week. Its a good thing Jimmy (Realspeed) knows so much about cars! We would have been lost without him this week!
Jimmy did one in an apartment complex parking lot, on a hill, with a drunk maintenance man checking up on him. The second he did on a gravel area, next to the highway, beside a welding shop with the sun beaming down on him both times.
We did find a cow ant hanging out at the second place. I haven't seen one of them in quite some time!

OK Kasey I am an old school southern country boy [^] BUT PRAY TELL what is a COW ANT [?][?][?][?]
I can tell you that. It's an ant on steroids. It's big and they're black and red and you can stomp on them until your shoes are shredded and they won't die. They got a stinger that's about 3/8" long that keeps on stinging until the sun goes down!! Don't screw with them they'll make you wish you were dead.
as for the other
I have seen one ( ANT ) never knew what they were , looks like a goo one to avoid
I think they are actually wingless wasps.
They are actually wasps and the females do not have wings. They do make up for that with a stinger from hell. In my youth we found that a pellet rifle was the best way to kill them. Luckily they are not fast moving and are solitary. I would hate to run in to a nest of those....
isn't that what they made 22 speadshot for ?

I have used that to good effect on carpenter bees, but it annoys the neighbors and with a little patience I find I can still drop them with a pellet! (takes a few more shots though...)
We always called them velvet ants or cow killers.

Yeah, that's exactly what they are. They don't hurt anything or bother me, so they get a pass.
I agree with Don. Send the kids packing and keep Jimmy. Does this make up for all his mistakes this year????LOL. You and Jimmy are more like brother and sister, then friends. Those are the hard ones to find. Your a great friend Jimmy.[;)][^]
Its been an interesting relationship to say the least.... lol from the beginning when i got a job trading a Cetme (pile of ****) in on a Lanber at her dads shop and getting my finger stuck in the barrel of a Barrett 50... Yes I actually stuck my finger where it didnt belong.... But yeah she is like another mom most of the time... keeps me out of trouble and blasts my * when i do something stupid...
Kasey got me a nice craftsman tool set along this line..
Had full intentions that it was going to be my track box (stays with the racecar) But it hasnt left the back of the daily and ive used it more than i ever thought I would... Granted its not a complete have everything you will ever need set... but its done all that ive needed it to do excecpt for a thing or 2 but those pieces have been added.
Another bug I never see any more are those HUGE black grasshopper things that had the red or yellow stripe down their sides. They were four or five inches long....scary as mess to a little girl playing outside!
Yep, lots of things evaporating (going away slowly or gone)in this neck of the woods in last few years.
To name a few. Honey bees, (the tree dwellers went first, As a teenager I hunted and robbed bee trees, squirrels, very few in the deep woods, seems they have moved from forest to towns, rabbits, quail, the large yellow and black striped grasshoppers, snakes such as rattlers, copperheads, water mosaics, bullfrogs, cow ants, mountain boomers (large colored lizards, Butcher birds, Blue birds, scissor tail birds, very few acorn trees and hickory trees produce or weak when they do.
Appears to me it's not global warming it's more like mother nature sending a global WARNING.[B)]

if you ever got hit by one you'd never forget it.
got hit on the neck while camping when I sat in a lounge chair. guess it was catching some rays. the only thing I can compare it to is getting hit by 3 yellow jackets in the same spot at the same time. intense pain that subsides VERY SLOWLY over a couple hours. and throbs like hell most of the night. felt like my heart was in my neck.
