Garden hose and hose end questions
Comments (6)I would get the thick brass connectors and use metal strap clamps. even with the metal strap clamps you still have to periodiclly retighten. Regardless of the type of hose they work loose. I used RTV or super glue with some sucess at the joints and on the screw threads. IMO the plastic ones arn't worth a dare....See MoreWhy would someone steal a bee hive?
Comments (2)Some people will take anything that they can get their thieving hands on. Used hives are not valuable, at least not to a knowledgeable beekeeper. If a hive is infested with American Foul Brood, the only cure is to burn the hive and everything associated with it. Your hive wasn't, but anyone buying the hive from the thieves wouldn't be able to tell if it was infected or not. I hope the bees stung the bee-jeezus out of the thieves!...See MoreWhy would anyone steel a gas cap?
Comments (15)I remember back when I was a senior in high school. I had a 1971 Ford pickup. Drove it to school often. One day I came out and found the gas cap was gone. A day or so later I was with a bunch of friends in a big parking lot. A couple of them wandered off while some of us stood there and talked. They came back a while later with about 10 similar caps for my truck. They had went and found likely prospects and stolen the caps that mite fit my truck. I refused to accept any of them and since they couldn't remember which cap came from which vehicle I told them to leave all the caps on the poarch of the grocery store where hopefully the owners could find them. I went the next day and bought a new locking gas cap. I figure somebody needed a gas cap and stole mine. But I sure wasn't about to do the same.

Comments (9)I'm committed to not buying "As seen on TV" stuff. I currently own a 75 foot real rubber hose. It was recommended by the workers at the nursery where I buy my spring plants. I take it up in the winter and I've had it about 5 years and it works just great!...See MoreTxMarti
