hopped onmy ford 950 to mow a while back. started up, started driving.. then a swarm of paperwasps start exiting under the hood and become quite interested in me.
I quickly just turned the key off on the tractor and dove off the side as it rolled another few feet dieing in gear. ( mower not engaged.. etc. just running in 3rd and idle to get up to the barn to check a few things before mowing ).
a good size swarm stayed around the tractor for 15 minutes. I came back later to investigate. flipped up the hood center section and there was a next about the size of a big honey bun above the rad.. and flipping it open knocked it, and the 300 million wasps on it again took off after me... another 20m to let them settle and then I got them with the pressure washer...
amazingle.. i did not get stung either time.. nor hurt making my emeregency evacuation from the tractor.
last time i got stung was last year, greasing one of the tractgors, i walked in front of it and ducked under the laoder arms to grease the front spindles, and there was a nest in the crux of one of the arms and one dropped down and hit my neck.. burned. didn't know what it was immediately though i had hit something ducking under loader arm. immediately noticed his pals though...
i'm in florida.. and they are all over here. under eves.. etc.. porches and decks.. etc..

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
