Those do look pretty chintzy. I wonder what the expensive seats will be like.

My dad used to mange facilities and grounds keeping at a local school district. A deer broke through a classroom window in the night and could not figure out how to get back out. It did extensive damage to the room and furniture trying to get out. It was a bloody mess. The sheriff and game warden had to come in and euthanize the deer.
I remember hearing about that...

Would you take him over Hollins? Him over Bobby trees?
Bobby Trees would be great about 3 years ago though.

to be fair he's had no QB in Pitts.
To be fair his issues have never been about actual football. They've been everything else.

Yeah, at this point I've aged out of any other marketable skills and the golden handcuffs get tighter every year.
If we're on the same wavelength like I assume, I can tell you my region is decent for pay/benefits but tough on the mental health. But I know some guys who lateraled out to other states/regions and are much happier now. Just not an option for me so I'm making the best of what I got.
Trying to switch states because this one is a mess.

You too?
Unfortunately I'm sort of stuck. I don't want to go higher up the food chain because that situation is worse and I can't really switch career paths at the moment so I just continue to go in and try not to hate it. There have definitely been some "business decisions" about what I will and won't do anymore though. Particularly about unpaid extras.
I'm trying to switch locations if I can. It might not be better, but it will at least be different.

6'4 240 my ass he's 220 at best.
Will never like this pick. A TE needs to be big enough to absorb the hits so he can play 4-5 years before being spent.
He's a luxury #2 TE because he can't block.
I'm with you. It was a luxury pick at the time and he's not any of what we were told he was.

At my job? Yes. That is why people are leaving my profession in droves. My job used to be a respected position in the community where we were relatively well paid and held in high esteem. Now we are a public punching bag.

I couldn't agree more that networking in any industry is indeed important BUT... it's still funny to me that a 20-something athlete would go down to the bar to make a good impression... seeing as alcohol isn't a performance enhancing drug and all the other possible negative connotations...
Gotta go where the people are. Going to a hotel bar isn't the same as getting raving drunk at a hotel bar. The ability for a 20 something to go out in a social setting where alcohol is present and act appropriately demonstrates maturity that many can't.

1) Wasn’t it a compound word of charisma and poise?2) What an outside the box idea… go to a bar to promote your career as an NFL QB!!! (for some reason I don’t think this would have worked with McBeane).
Networking is really smart and you need to go where the people you want to meet are to do it. At the combine, the hotel bar is exactly where those people are. I bet this would 100% work with McBeane and a bunch of other people. It shows confidence and it gives you an opportunity to get even a little bit of face to face time with people who would normally be inaccessible.

That was a rough one, very Billsy. My dad is a Steeler fan, so we went to that game together. He obviously liked the outcome better than I.I didn't intend to break the ottoman. I stood up with my hands over my head in anticipation of the TD then reflexively hulk smashed the absolute ***** out the ottoman when Stevie discovered there is no God.

My first game in Orchard Park, Bills beat Cowboys for their only win. Greg Bell has 2 td's.
I was at that game too. I was 6.

Bills @ Bengals, Stevie Johnson why so serious game. Was there w a bunch of buddies and even though the Bills weren’t good, it was a great time and loved seeing the Bengal fans get all pissed off.
My Stevie Johnson go-to memory is him dropping that ball v. Pittsburgh. An ottoman died an unexpected death that day.

I'm kind of amazed that this story didn't end with the husband getting arrested for anything. A lineman gets home late at night from his difficult and very dangerous job to see that going on and nobody got assaulted or killed? I'm not sure if I'm proud of the guy or disappointed. This was step-mom, which gives me all sorts of follow-up questions about bio-mom and how THAT situation went down. Dad had custody which, in this country, usually means Mom is a complete hot mess. So this was attempt #2 and it works out this way. I dunno bro, maybe women just aren't for you.

Golf carts aren’t dangerous. Morons driving them are dangerous.
It's like most things, they aren't inherently dangerous, but they are to be respected as something that CAN hurt you. Others have pointed out situations that can hurt you even if you aren't being deliberately reckless. Particularly if it's not a well maintained, or a deliberately modified, example.

I'm not suggesting they shouldn't do it; just that it's not applicable here.
I've live-trapped animals before and releasing them is neither dangerous nor problematic; and relocating squirrels is legal in most places but you have to take them like 10 miles away or they'll track their way back. And even if they don't, it won't take long for another batch to replace them.
And have you ever tried to hit a squirrel with a pellet gun? Between getting within reasonable range and then trying to get a clean line of sight on them while they're navigating a tree (they are way smarter than chipmunks), it is harder than you'd think.
Live trapping is an option but only if, as you said you keep doing it, and then also act as squirrel Uber driving them far away. The other issue with live trapping is you can catch stuff you don't want to catch. Like skunks.
And yes I've shot squirrels with a pellet gun. It's not easy but it's about how you want to spend your time. Do you want to set a trap and walk away or sit near your tree with a couple beers and wait? You can always do both with the pellet gun being more recreational.
There's obviously not an easy solution or it would already exist. The tree owner needs to decide how much they care about the fruit. If they care they need to choose one of the few available options for a neighborhood. Trying to permanently thin the squirrel population is the most effective however they go about doing it. If they don't care that much they need to let it go.
I'd love to grow some fruit trees and berry bushes but between the birds and squirrels and deer there's no realistic way for me to do it so I planted some raspberries and blackberries in the woods instead and just let the deer have them. I'll go out and try to harvest some and I usually only get what they can't reach which isn't a lot.

Yeah, because they're protecting their livelihoods.
And they live on farms.
Are you suggesting he start tossing $40 worth of high velocity Winchester cartridges around the neighborhood to protect $13 worth of fruit?
The efficacy of that plan may be somewhat lacking...
It's because the other stuff doesn't work. If there was a passive way they could keep the animals off their crops they'd do it. Squirrels give zero Fs. Any sort of fence or guard or block you put up becomes a puzzle for them to solve and they enjoy solving it.
If you don't want to shoot them or can't because of neighborhood proximity issues (though a pellet gun can take down a squirrel with no trouble) then I'd suggest trying to trap them and not to waste your time with live traps. Why not a live trap? 2 reasons, First, it's usually illegally to move an animal off your land onto other land or onto public land so what are you going to do with it? Second, you have to open the trap, the squirrel will be pissed and you're not interested in a trip to the doctor with bites and scratches from a wild rodent.
If it's not worth it for the tree worth of fruit, that is probably worth more than you think it is, just let the squirrels eat it.

Do you have any neighborhood cats you could entice to hang around the immediate area of the tree?
There is a reason that farmers shoot wildlife year round.
