Saw a gopher launched into the air in at least one of the kabooms.
You forgot the magic French word to make the Poulan go.
Teeeeeem-bearrrrrrrr! (cf the Lumberjack in Pink Panther cartoons)
Yup. I bought the Poulan on sale. Was a great deal, but then didn’t use it right away. It sat in the box past warranty, and then when I needed it like yourself couldn’t get the danged thing to start. Took it to a repair shop locally, and had the carburater serviced. It would start after that, but wouldn’t continue running. Rather than put another nickel into that piece of junk, I bought an ECHO, and have been sawing away ever since.
I noted the model Poulan I had on sale at giveaway prices at a major tool store for awhile, but then they disappeared.
LOL! My son used to plant fireworks with long fuses in all the gopher holes, but all that did was drive them into a neighbors yard until he did something similar.
Spectracide works wonders. Just apply it with a spreader and kill the grubs that the gophers are feeding on. Heck, you have a right to protect your lawn from the grubs.
Spotted Owl - Endangered? Sheesh, these things seem to be all over the place.
“Camp Robber” is a generic term, but are usually Gray, Canada or Blue Jays.
Tombstone is NOT in Maricopa County. It is in Cochise County. The Sheriff there is Larry Dever.
Thanks, I'll remember that.
Tombstone should have had from long ago , a surveyed right-of-way for the waterline. It probably was even deeded to the city. Even if not the city should be applying for the two as part of the project. The Feds could go pound owlburger if there was a right-of-way for the line. The line should have carried a “water right”. In many cases that right-of-way becomes part of the city. So many times I see these things get out of hand because the young fuzz-faced kids running the town don’t know the rules, don’t know how to look up the rules, and just keep playing the pressure hoping for a useful outcome. I’ve stopped several of these fights in their tracks locally simply by explaining the old rules to the diaper crowd.——the snivelers just shut up and slink off.
That was fun. The perfect way to get a teenage boy to enthusiastically rub out gophers.
I believe Spectracide and generic equivalent formulas also come in hose end sprayer bottles. That might be a bit easier to apply evenly than granules are.
Ultimely, this crime-in-the-making-under-the-color-of-law lays at the feet of Richard Nixon, a Republican.
Remember that as you consider your support for Romney.
Just bring in some barred owls. They EAT spotted owls, and are what endangered them to begin with.
First we had the illegal Mexican immigrants, now we have the illegal Mexican owl. Send them all back to where they belong and America can on with business. /sarc
So the hundreds of Mexicans (human beings = men, women & children) that have been killed due to the warped philosophies, beliefs and schemes of this administration aren’t even acknowledged by this bunch of heathens. But a freaking Mexican bird is more important than providing water for American citizens??!!! Someone needs to shoot the damn bird, fry it up, label it Fried Fast & Furious, and mail it to the White House.

My point is that it isn’t this administration.
It is President Richard Nixon (R), reaching out from the grave to punish us.
Remember that as you decide just how enthusiastically to support Romney
Would that explanation be by the old "shotgun barrel up the fourth-point-of-contact" method?
Over 99% of all species that have ever inhabited this planet are extinct.
