Did you guys need the moisture in your area or no?
The whole state is is an extreme drought. We didn't need all of it at once though, we got 8.8" of rain in the last 2 days, that is insane. I am going to have to rent a power snake with a root blade to clean out my yard drain again. My ash tree has obviously invaded it again. I had water all the way across my patio.

Holy waterfalls! That's a lot of water! At least the fires are out, but yeah, now mudslides to worry about! Crazy shit!!

I hope you get your yard dried out!!

Trying to get mine dried out so I can mow. Just filled the bird feeders. The little bastards went through 15 pounds in a few weeks. I can see this could get costly! I might have to grow some sunflowers next year! :lol: They are quite entertaining, I have to admit!!

The yard finally drained, found a place with a power snake, $44 for 4 hours or $100 a day. Called a rooter place, they want $105 hr to clean it out.

Just be grateful yours don't eat ground beef. I'm feeding a conspiracy of ravens and I think they are conspiring with the beef packers!

Pablo Escobar's 'cocaine hippos' can be legally recognized as people


1635201484958.png

The offspring of hippos once owned by Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar can be recognized as people or “interested persons” with legal rights in the U.S. following a federal court order.

The “cocaine hippos” are descendants of animals that Escobar illegally imported to his Colombian ranch in the 1980s when he reigned over the country’s drug trade. After his death in a 1993 shootout with authorities, the hippos were abandoned at the estate and left to thrive with no natural predators — their numbers have increased in the last eight years from 35 to somewhere between 65 and 80.






So now what? Unintended consequences would have your dog suing because the kibble is too crunchy?

Doesn't the government of Columbia get a say?

I just learned in doing some research, we have a bird pandemic going on here in the northeast. Not in NY yet but close by in PA...and I live 10 miles from PA. . I'll have to keep things extra clean and keep an eye out! They say if you see any sign of a sick bird, discontinue feeding for a few weeks.

Not yet, I had enough fun yesterday trying to get it to drain. I'm going to try a high pressure nozzle in it this afternoon. I see more RootX in my future.
These are awesome, and come in different sizes. And Rocksalt is a good root destroyer, although not sure you can gte it...We use it to melt snow and ice. But it will kill grass.

That’s so sad.

I have a couple. They work great for somethings.

Right...I've had good luck with them, especially in conjunction with drano....and it would be great for outdoors...But if it's roots it probably won't do it, unless you add some acid first maybe...then it gets a little dangerous. Wear goggles!!
I use them for moving leaves through my pool plumbing. They work great for that. For roots you need a snake.
