Today I got into a head bumping fight with a hornet on top of the roof of my mother's screened-in porch which is on a deck about 12ft off the ground- so its an easy 20 foot drop down. I am busy minding my own business stringing an extension cord up there to pressure wash the deck behind me when this crazy Hornet starts dive bombing my head and all I got to fend it off of me is the extension cord.
So there I am swatting and the hornet and yelling at it which of course is futile but I keep yelling and this bug keeps flying in at me. We reach an impasse and i beat a strategic retreat to go find wasp spray.
As it turns out,, the wasp spray lasted long enough to piss it off. But I brought my backup- totally ineffective "Flying Insect" spray.
OH YEAH time to get it on little Hornet.
Anyway he got bored and flew away.
Bug 1- Mike 0. I decided I didn't need to pressure wash that deck anyway- especially after trying to haul up a running water hose.
Man's awesome Mind? yep.
Man is awesomely soaked? yep
Oh those crazy lazy summer days.
At least I didn't get a headache.
Oh yeah, that was before 11am.
Then I went to work.
sigh.
