Well it's been awhile since my last post.  Maybe I can bring it up to date some.  Since the recent snowfall of 7" I decided to go back through my thread.  Just wondering who is still around on the CP site?

It's been almost 2 years since my surgery for bladder cancer.  My last followup with the doctors in recent months showed no sign of cancer.  Just dealing with the lifestyle change and trying to retrieve my stamina .

New development on Dogtrot.  This year I noticed that Carpenter bees have attacked my facia boards.  Prior I did notice a few places and built traps but they don't seem to be working as well as I would have liked.  Anyway I attacked the entry holes with various pesticides injecting into the holes.  Immediately I noticed the bees exiting and falling out.  Just hoping that it will kill the larva.  Sprayed the wood with a residual pesticide hopefully to slow down their penetration. 

Try to upload a couple photos.  It appears the woodpeckers attempted to retrieve the larve.  Those places have been repaired since.

I hope everyone is well and have a Happy Holiday.
