• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

There is a dead nut tree in front of the house that I've been planning on taking down, but now it looks like I am going to have to hold off for a while. This guy is working too hard for me to put an end to all his hard work and leave him having to seek out another tree to make into a home.

Excellent video Rich. Had a woodpecker go at the tree across from my home a few years ago. Almost gave me a headache after a couple hours. Don't know how they keep at it. Thanks for posting!
 
A few days after posting this video and not getting any comments on it, I had to watch it again to see if I had something embarrassing or non-PC in it that no one wanted to call to my attention.

Thanks for letting me know I didn't do something awful with it.
