Hahaha yeh I've seen more reptiles around and in ponds than the river. im in the woods for hours everyday so my dogs finds the snakes before i get to them and dances around them barking. Pretty handy tool for a forester.

A best-pal wanted to go to Australia. They have a Black Widow called a Redback, cuz the is where its hourglass is. It comes to civilization, sensing water, jumps into swimming pools, and sinks to the bottom, waiting. You have 15 minutes to get to antivenom, whereas black widows rarely kill people. Drain the pond, fence V well, refill and add crappies, bluegills, perch, bullhead and crawdads.

Interesting that black widows hang upside down, so their red, shows. Redbacks don't, but have a visible back.

The MAXcatch is what I've had most success with. Our house in SLC had waaay more spiders, and these did the job.

It's weird how my audio brand preferences have evolved over the years. I started out as a Sony car audio fan with cassettes, but jumped ship when the CD's constantly skipped. JVC was my next "go to", but they just didn't have the "juice" that Sony did. After a couple of JVC's, I've been a mostly exclusive to Pioneer. I did get a good deal on a Kenwood at one point, which is what is now in my Toyota. The damn thing is driving me nuts though.... it's slow at reading media, and the screen is starting to randomly go black. About 25% of the time, it completely starts at the beginning of the thumb drive when the screen comes back on. So, I'm back on the hunt for a new deck. I've been driving my daughters Escape here and there (since she's in TX), and really thought I was ready to make the leap to an Android double din.... but hers does not have sub controls that I need. I need to be able to have low pass, gain, and I'd love to have phase at the deck too.

That was longer than I expected...

Guess I'm going to go Pioneer again.

Pioneer and Kenwood are my to go to's. I put a Pioneer Double-DIN in the truck, and have never been disappointed. The interface seems to be a bit more intuitive than Kenwood's, or was at the time. There's a mid-2000's Kenwood EXCELON in the Mustang.

I'd probably do another Kenwood if I found a deal.... Might take the stereo out of one of the Fox Body's until I get things "just so".

I use Raid 4-packs from Home Depot. 4-pack ~ $5. They will fold into a non rectangular roach hotel, but I use them flat. Tape to a wall for fruit flies, etc. Cut in half before removing protective paper for skinny spots. Clean scissors w lighter fluid.
