Working out the bugs

Today was pretty exciting. Matt came over to hang out for a bit and to take his Scirocco home.



Unrelated, there are a couple of things I'd been meaning to fix since I've been driving the car again.

1. Wire the leveler switch, and fix the high beams. The head lights only work on low right now. Also, only one of the fog lights is turning on, I probably just forgot to plug it in.



2. Re-wire the radar detector, I'll keep the current location for the switch/mute button but change the location of the detector so it's not blocking the passenger sun visor anymore.



3. The speakers only work on the driver's side all of a sudden... I suspect its just a janky wire. All the same, wtf!



Then it started raining, and we thought... this would be a great day to get rid of the wasp hive! This thing grew from the size of a hacky sack to the size of a rugby ball in about a week and since it was raining out all the wasps were lazy and just hanging out inside the hive.

This prompted the need for some liquid encouragement, it had to kick in fast and beer wasnt going to cut it.



Here's hive:



The weapon(s) of choice:



All it really did was keep the little dudes inside the hive but the ones that made it out didnt like it/us very much at all.







Rather than just letting the foaming poison do its work we decided that due to the size of this thing we had to take it down and burn it or else we'd just have a bunch of half poisoned beasties flying around the yard.

Matt readied the poison and Ryan got ready to take it down with a hoe.



then we ran....



They managed to get it into a cardboard box! and once everything calmed down again we lit it on fire.








Dont try this at home kids, burning larva smells nasty!





Some how I was the only one that got stung, that asshole crawled into my pullover and got me good right on the elbow. After I freaked out and ripped my shirt off he was flying around the living room looking for his next victim... he was swatted, captured, crushed a little so he'd stay still for a picture, and then drowned in cheap tequila.
