Strange shit,
Yesterday I got stung by a yellow jacket on the side of my right hand about midway between the second joint of my thumb & the wrist.
I barely have a blemish like a gnat bite at the site of the sting, but the muscle just below the outside of my elbow is so swollen it looks like I implanted a Half of a hand ball under the skin and is hot & aching.
I?ve never had a remote reaction to a wasp sting like this, they have always swollen up at the sting site and never as much as this.
Go figure ? Am I developing an allergic reaction to wasp venom or what ever it is called when it comes from a stinger.

besides, 1 time laying on the ground in the winter, because you have to. Will be more then enough payment wise, for the lift.

I would have to invest in building a shop, which would involve excavation, foundation, structure, electrical, etc. Then comes the bill for the lift. I would never get enough use out of it to justify the expense/s.

In comparison to the cost of the building, the cost of the lift would be insignificant.

I want a new shop with a lift.... and it would give me a woody to have it. Not in my future though, I'm going broke.

Yes, wasp venom does cause an allergic reaction and it can get more severe with subsequent stings. I use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) topical cream and take a Benadryl antihistamine tablet asap after the sting.

New flagpole is installed now, kinda happy about that. The solar lights that I was planning to use aren't effective enough to do the job I expect. Got a pole mounted led spot light coming though and it looks like it's gonna do what I want.

That sounds pretty sweet. I have a place in the front yard where I want to put one in. Fortunately, I have an outlet not too far from the location to use for lighting. The one thing holding me back right now is that the location isn't far from the master bedroom. Not sure how much sound the flag will make popping in the wind at night. I guess if it's that bad, I probably should take it down anyway.

Do a solar powered light. We have something similar to this.

Having an outlet out there in the driveway area would be nice, but I can't justify the expense to get it done.

This is the light that we chose...
