Yes they were thick here, fall '12, walked the neighbors pug, he likes to play, loves attention, problem was, do that on the lawn, and there's half a dozen ticks on him, good thing he's got short hair and its a light color, easily spot them. One odd thing this fall, I was in the woods quite a bit, here and another farm, both times my friends picked up ticks, me not a one, and I thought I was the tick magnet, seemed I'd get them out of thin air, knowing I've not been in the brush or similar. Friends wife got nailed on top of the head, some new tick borne illness, she almost died, had blood transfusions, months of recovery, well just takes time til you feel 100%, darned things are carrying some nasty bacteria or whatever the heck it is, not all, but its russian roulette with these things. I look back at the aerial photos, remember how things were as a kid even 20 years later from say the photos of '52, fields were still mainly clear, not many deer around, now all that has changed, lots of trees and vegetation, abundant deer, never had black flies, gnats so thick they swarm you, never ran into deer flies unless you went to the woods at the other end of this place or the mountains, mosquitoes probably the same, never had such nuisance insects, I never saw a tick as a kid, on a dog, horse or any other animal, rabbits too. This cold snap does have the potential to kill insects, apparently their "antifreeze" acclimatizes, but when the temperature has a dramatic change, they can't take it. -10, too cold for much work outside, so heck, let it drop to -30, won't see those bugs til July, by then gardens are all planted, firewood done, "have at it cold" weather LOL !

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
