Standing at the BS cutting waste out of DT's and something starts crawling up inside my trouser leg causing me to cut a nice kerf where I didn't want one! Aaarrrgghhhh! Had to stop cutting while I hopped around, unbuckled and dropped 'em to get the little critter out before he got to something important. :roll: :mad: I did stomp him eventually. :twisted:

Gene, now quit that!! You're making me feel itchy, like something is crawling up my leg :x

I do hate to mess up a cut like that, and all because of a bug. You ought to see me when a wasp or yellow jacket comes near.......save me, not the wood :roll:

Better for that to happen while using a bandsaw instead of a tablesaw.

Now that would be a youtube video!

Glad nothing got hurt but the bug!

Yeah, I get the occasional tarantula that saunters into the shop-- I can tell you that those things act like they own the place. It is especially unnerving when you are looking under your bench for the little washer for the screw that holds the frog of a #4 bench plane in place (damhikt)

What is even more fun around here is taking a blacklight out and shining it onto walls/etc and watching all the little barking scorpions glow green...

Oh yeah, sound like a blast :shock: :D

We've got no scorpions (that I know of) in this area and I'll keep it that way if you don't mind :D

Sorry, film not available and I ain't gonna schedule a rerun. :wink:

I didn't say it was a bug although it was. One of those black beetles that come out this time of year. Around here it coulda been any number of critters, and I wasn't about to take any chances. :wink:

Tick season here. I run down all tickles in hope they don't attach.

I think that systemic stuff we rub on the dog's neck just convinces them to seek other game. Maybe it'd be better to let 'em stay on the dog....

I was surprised earlier this week when I reached for a door handle on one of our remote offices and there was a tick holding onto it....two evenings in a row :shock: Killed 'em and hope not to see another one!!!!
