Yep, uncover the tunnel, stick the pipe in, cover over and let the engine run..
Some guys make a lp concussion bomb device.. they pump lp gas into the tunnel,
and then light it off with a peizo ignition source like a gas grill push
button… whoomp… check out the internet for videos of that … for us farmer
type, the dirt mounds are a real big PITA. Doesn’t help my lawn mowing either.

Get some flex pipe , hook it up to the lawn mower or your car, put the pipe in
the tunnel and let it run for 20 min…or 30 etc… usually will kill out the
entire colony.

Wasn't much of a fall she bounces well...
I have checked rental cars from a few places and hotwire but they
aren't any cheaper and they are all far from the hotel and without a car to get
to the car rental place.... When we go on a trip of our own we will go into
spartanburg as hotels and rental cars are way cheaper. This trip isn't bad
since the hotel is free. She got two trips this month that are one leg there
and back. The hotel has a company pick up the crew from the airport. The hotel
is pretty nice and next to the expensive mall with Tiffany, Gucchi and has a
couple Maseratis in the mall (The new cheap one that looks like a big buick)
As for the Pocket gophers I wish they ate bugs. They are
herbivores and eat tubers and tree and bush roots. Need to kill them off before
they start to girdle the trees and kill them. After talking to several control
guys they agree with what i have read and the only thing that works is traps
and you need to put 15-20 in the tunnels everywhere. They also said the
shooting method is the best if you can catch them. They make tunnels about
2.5-3" in diameter and the gophers are about 12-14" long full grown.
Our cats were all nutz this morning. Everyone chasing and running
all over. They really liked the weather this morning but we were in the 60s
with near 90% humidity.

oh, dear. Is Geri okay? That slipping and falling on the ice can be a life
changer.
You might check somewhere else for a rental car - my guess is the hotel is
taking a big cut.
82* I remember that. It's 40ish, exceptionally wet (we are drowning in our
drought). We had 2 1/2" of rain Sunday, an inch on Monday and 1 1/3 yesterday.
Sprinkly today.
The gophers aerate the soil and eat bugs. Not worth it.
Our perfect dog had an implosion yesterday. In about 45 minutes he strewed the
garbage through the dining room, kitchen, eating area and family room. Either
before or after that he did some counter surfing and had 4 apple turnovers
fresh from the bakery and a pound of twizzlers. We were upstairs and didn't
hear a thing. We found him sitting in his bed with the remains of bright red
and yellow chip bags everywhere. ("It was a tornado, I swear!") Wasn't messy
garbage, mostly packaging. So hard to yell at him and laugh at the same time.
car content - replaced a light bulb in the jeep.

Geri was in Charlotte last weekend and there was a good bit of ice on the
sidewalks and she slipped on the sidewalk at the mall next to the hotel. I was
going to go with her but the flight back showed overbooked by a bunch but it
ended up having 20 empty seats on it... But she has the same trip this week so
we are going to rent a car sat morning and drive around and check the area out.
She has a couple houses she wants to stop and look at. Luckily the doubletree
suites has a Hertz counter in the lobby. Only bad part is that rental cars are
twice what I pay at most any other city. Their rental car taxes must be quite
high.
Oh and we were 82* yesterday and the day before was very nice at 72* and
20% humidity. We only see air that dry maybe 6 days in the year. Was perfect
all day. Course back to 60s today and 86% humidity.
And for varmits... I was siting outside last night and the gopher was
clearing dirt out of a hole about 3' away from the chair. I wish I had a .22 at
that time. They are getting really bad lately doing allot of damage. They do
nothing beneficial at all.

oh, that's a funny story. When we moved here we bought a .22 because of
varmints. Then Dan was sitting out on the porch reading, and looked up just in
time to see a small black bear amble across the lawn in from of him. We looked
at the bear, looked at the .22 and laughed. We also had a neighborhood cougar
for awhile.
I have my dad's guns and when I was little my dad's idea of father/daughter
time was to take me to the police shooting range with him. No big deal, Frank.
There's two cars in the ditch in front of my house both abandoned. They really
have no clue how to drive on snow.
No guns in this house. We don't need guns.
