I envy all the flat building site ground. Did you ever try glue traps for the scorpions, they work great for brown recluse spiders, seems poison doesn't get them unless they get sprayed on.
How is everyone doing?

I do put some out in the tight spots. With indoor/outdoor cat that damn thing finds em no matter where I put them. Now there’s a struggle getting a cat off one of those.
I know, I had to separate one from a Schnauzer's head and it wasn't fun, funny, but not fun.
They stick rather well to a labs nose also…
Cooking oil is your friend for unsticking glue traps
Edit: Let me be clear, room temperature oil.

Been steadily picking away at the deck roof since Labour day, almost done for this year, will get lights and a ceiling fan at some point.
Looking fw to cleaning up the shop and getting back on Pig projects.

Nice job man! I needs one of them!
Thanks Rush, looking fw to not getting soaked grilling this winter.
I’ll add, this has been percolating in the brain for about a decade, so I’m happy to finally set time aside and get it done.
A lot of work for an old guy! 
You wouldn’t call me old…but my kids do!A lot of work for an old guy!
A cat gets stuck to a glue trap? GEEZ!!how big are those scorpions? The last one I ever saw might have been a 007 movie.. I didn't know they were in Oklahoma ?
Al on average probably 1.5-2 inches in length. Kim squashed a good one last night.
Learned in a college biology class the way to tell if a scorpion is venemous or not. One type hits you with its tail over the top of its body, the other strikes with its tail sideways. Wish I could recall which is which. Was also amazed, on a nighttime hike with an expert, how many are actually around. Their shells/skeletons are luminescent under black light.
The little ones in MO. have a sting pain about like a wasp sting, hurts, but not deadly. I never had one sting me to see if they were side pitchers.
Ditto, ours sting but nothing more than that. Not that I would want to be able to describe how bad a sting it is.
Yellow Jackets up here are Nasty Bastards 
along with ground Bee's and White tailed wasps that are the size of Bubble bee's 
. Worst are Black
flies in da spring . Size of the tip of a #2 pencil

Drove Kims new 62 to town this morning. Kinda rare in that some cheap bastard ordered it without the power locks and windows in 1990. Little did they know these would be pain in the butt for many 30+ years later! Has 167k miles, not perfect on outside but has good bones and drives pretty darn well.
Kim going to have to have little stool to check oil.
Then got on tangent and took some rubbing compound to the blue BJ45. Got me thinking how cool that blue would be on a pig and you don’t see many like it. I’m pretty partial to it since my nice 40 and the troopy are same and it looks good in the sunlight.
