I currently have a wood awning covering my 12×16 patio and I’m stuck trying to decide whether to repair it, installing a new roof and updating the wood to pressure treated wood. There is some water damage and I have problems with carpenter bees nesting in the wood.
Which solution would be best, update and fix the existing wood awning, purchase a cloth retractable or purchase an aluminum awning? The difference in cost for each is within a couple of hundred dollars.

My son is allergic to bee stings and must carry these. I’ve asked my doctor, pharmacy, and local hospital but was told to just throw them away when expired. With experience in waste collection, I feel that it would be unsafe to introduce these objects into our solid waste stream when they’re still capable of automatically injecting someone with a large dose of an expired drug.

I have bee hunting for BMW r850R. BMW brought it here (US) only in 1996 and 1997. I have never ridden it but once was told it is very smooth (being a smaller flat engine) and almost as powerful as 1100. If any of you had experience with it verses r1100r or 1150r.

I mean, by age 16, we should all know how to spell, right? But if we had a spelling bee between an 18 year old and a 30 year old I would place my bet on the older person. And spelling has NOTHING to do with experience.

bees in my lemonade. fans sitting next to me chain-smoking throughout the race. hillibillies randomly standing up in front of me to cheer particular drivers every time they come around the track, apparently believing the drivers can actually see this show of support while they’re hurtling through Turn 3 at over 100mph.
all for the low low price of $50 for any NASCAR ticket that gets you remotely close to the track. and god help you if you want a beer that doesn’t have the word “Bud” or “Busch” in it.
what is the appeal of this “sport”? why do you like going to car races, NASCAR fans? i can actually see some of the enjoyability of watching races on TV, but actually being there in the stands (i don’t know about the infield) is akin to torture.
“get a life” is a pretty compelling response. i’ve had pit access too and that part is fun, but the race experience itself tends to obliterate those good memories.
