I’d read about these crazy wasps that hunt tarantulas, paralyze them, then lay their eggs on them, but never thought I’d see one in person. Just about stepped right over this pair… It was really cool watching the giant 2″+ wasp struggling to get the small, yet not-quite paralyzed tarantula dragged into deeper bush. Gnarly. This crimson-winged beauty must be what spiders have nightmares about.
Been getting a little work done on the boat most evenings lately. After a swim in the ocean and a dinner break, I’ve been getting back into the shop, if just for an hour or so. Lately, Work has been coming along really nicely on the four new cockpit seats/locker lids.
Only three of the new lids will be hinged. Just as well, as there where only just enough of the “perfect” hinges left at the chandlery for three opening lids.
I swear, epoxy, fiberglass, and plywood is coming out my pores.
This entry is really just a test. This is the first post made to this blog from my new Palm T|X,scamming free wifi at the JR. If this works well, I shall let out a hearty giggle.
Also, being that this is the first night of the re-opened Jolly Roger, there is also the distinct chance of a “drunken rambling” entry happening a little later. WooHoo!
