_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted May 22, 2023 Dryer sheets is an old trick... Been there.... As for skin so soft.... Never heard anyone say they worked for much more then keeping seed tics at bay... Garlic in the diet sure fire works.... But not only on insects lol! Read this a while back I've used those citrus candles ... I can't tell. Much defrence... But then again it could be the grill smoke and that combined .... I just know they should be here by now, but ū not a single bite... ""It might have something to do with the linalool present in the sheets, but there's also beta-citronellol in those sheets, which sounds derived from the same chemical base as those ever-present citronella candles (our chemistry degree seems to have been lost in the mail).""

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted June 4, 2023 We went 4 wheeling yesterday and it was the driest I ever seen it in the almost 14 years we been living here -------- We cut a lot of new trails , seen a big dead animal chewed up by something , couldn't even tell what it was but boy did it stink , would guess a deer , seen two coyotes really close not far from the caucus , that was spooky , rode up to a spot we stop at all the time under big oak , killed the bikes and a minute after we stopped , these two coyotes jump up 30 feet away and take off running , guess they were laying out , I should have gone and looked for a bed and peed on it , LOL , never seen a snake , that is a first , guess it was too hot and dry for them --- stood hydrated 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dry as a popcorn fart. We got an inch May 12th and 1/2 inch on the 27th. Other than that no rain for a month.
