Posted By: RicG Introduction... new member hello - 12/09/18
Decided to sign up after reading posts on this site for awhile. I am a retired Entomologist that just moved from Florida (after 40+ years) to the north Georgia mountains. Just needed to slow down and smell the daisies! I've been hunting all my life... archery and gun, and have had lots of fun and met many wonderful folks. Being a bit different (liking bugs...lol) I prefer single shot rifles and crossbows for most of my hunting. Works for me.

I am married with one daughter and two grandkids. I did not wake up dead today, so life is good.
Welcome to the forum. It's a good one.
Welcome. Don't let the grumpy ones "bug" ya'. wink

Feel free to "research" me. I'm a long time poster over at SWFA Optics Talk. I post under the name bugsNbows. I'm sure there are folks over there that would vouch for my worthiness.

I like your style already. Thicken up your carapace and come on in.

Might wanna beware of some of the DDT laying loose around the place, though.

Welcome.


Don't forget to tithe off your classified sales earnings.

Vinny

P.S. I can assist you in finding a worthy non-profit and/or ministry to help out.
Hit my box up.
Watch out for the tumble bug on this site.

So true...^^^^^^Like a pack of Alpha’s that can be running and playing, and the next second, they got one by the throat. It’s a great place! 😎
So, for example, if I ask somebody if their mother had any kids that lived, I'd be tarred and feathered? Just wonderin'

No, but half of the nitwits would spend a good half hour scratching their heads thinking of a reply...and the rest of us will just disagree with whatever they come up with.

New to here too yes. I have a gun and I go fishing.
I think this is a new influx of Liberal Socialist Democrat sockpuppets for 2020.
They feel kinda emboldened by the recent midterms.
They probably have like 1/964ths NA DNA in em too.

No.....
Last one I had was
"Wittman"

Gus sniffed me out initially, of all people. crazy

Then I corrected some wrong civil war posting about something.
And got nailed by our buds from the tn mafia.

Hahahaa!!!

Named after a ww2 tiger tank company commander in Normandy
He basically cost the allies almost a month of fighting by stalling out the british around caan.
Killed in the falaise gap.


I told gus I was related to the chocolate making family of whittman,s .

Ricbin for some reason nails me on my sockpuppets also
He knows I cant change my posting style.


So why even fugging try anymore....






Hahahaha!!!!
GFY and welcome.
I thought it named after your affinity for Gauchat poetry favorites. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
I was quoting tennyson or lord byron
Don't remember which...
crazy laugh

Hahahaha....
Welcome to the Fire!
OK.......that's enough small talk.
Here's a few questions you need to answer.....your answers will determine your fate here on the fire so answer carefully.

1) First and probably the most important = ice in Whisky, yes or no?

2) Do you own a 6.5 Creedmoor.

3) Chainsaws, do you own an inexpensive Echo homeowner model or a proper 30" Jonsered pro model.

4) Is "light" beer really beer?

5) And last but certainly not least, beans in Chili. yes or no.


Bonus Question A or B?

A) There's no such thing as a bad Cop.

B) There's no such thing as a good Cop.
Welcome aboard, Ric.

How do you feel about blue tape?

You don't shoot a .270 do you?

I don't know...Entomologists bug me.
Are new guys required to start a chainsaw thread? They should be. laugh
Welcome
Hey SamOlson post the picture of the crazy assed looking cut inhalf bug I think you posted a few month ago. You know that nasty red thing you found on the tractor. Have the new guy tell us what it is. It still haunts my dreams.
Welcome! This place is full of great guys and it’s full of knowledge so adding an entomologist to the mix is a great addition. I suppose if you love bugs Florida is as good as it gets in the USA. 😁
You guys..............geesh. He sez "bugs" and you automatically think insects. How you know he wasn't talking about that other one?

Welcome. Don't take anyone too seriously especially during happy hour.
I throwed a Betsy Beetle into my furnace bout an hour ago. It was making a hissing/clicking.


Sacrifice for pain

Unrelenting heat scrambles the sense
Caustic remedy betrays existence
Hellish invasion just part of the plan
Beasts have been summoned to conquer again
Unleash the fury

Internal burning an omen reborn
Embrace the torture purify the soul

Purification by fire πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
Welcome to the weird ranch, we can use a bug guy. We also really need an etymologist if you can refer one.

Just what we need, another buggy member. smile

Welcome. Just don't say anything favorable about Chinese Lady Beetles.
I hate ladybugs or Chinese lady bug beetles or what ever the fugg they are.

Took care of them fuggers earlier this fall with my mixture of bug killing
Zyklon B.

Looked like Pol Pots killing fields for a couple of days around the porch and outside window sills.

Everyone here got their tee hees and haw haws outta my post.

Now that we got a bug guru....

Why in the fugg are those things attracted to white colored stuff.
Hi Ric.
What was your particular area of interest in entomology?
My work is in Vespidae.
Should CA sell fur?

Ric,

Welcome to the Fire. If you are looking for an additional hobby fly fishing and entomology are like ham and eggs. Fly fishing is all about bugs. I also understand, although I have no first hand experience, that north Georgia mountains have some very good fly fishing for trout.

Just a suggestion to help keep busy in your retirement.

Thanks for the suggestion. There is, indeed, great fly fishing here on the Toccoa and others.

I used to live in Punta Gorda (we called it panty girdle) / Port Charlotte. Home of the pace maker jet set. Got tired of blue hair and slow drivers so I left. The N Ga. mountains are pretty nice. There are also some tax advantages over NC (which, BTW, is also beautiful).
