Cleaning up after Ike
With exception of some major branches beyond my capabilities, the backyard is cleared of debris. And I learned where fire ants take shelter ~ in the tall grasses near the sycamore trees. Also learned how to really piss them off: find their hiding spot with a lawn mower. They do get aggravated when their mounds are destroyed. Gained a few bites/welts out of that lesson. They gained a feeding of fire ant poison.
Company crew will be working today, Sunday, to continue clean up in Danbury. One resident supplied a complete bbq lunch for them yesterday. The neighbor kept insisting it was no big deal ~ his attitude was the brisket had to be cooked or it would be lost. Needless to say, the crew did not see it that way.
Weather has been cooperative for the clean up and restoring electricity. High temp during day is mid-80’s with low at night of low 70’s. Good mosquito growing weather. The spray trucks have been attempting to get out but no spray planes yet.
