What is a chain?

Do the deer flies follow your truck mirrors down the woods roads? This generally indicates how crappy the deer flies will be for the day.

Another observation: It seems that each day only a set amount of deer flies will bother you if you are in the woods (not on the roads). Killing the 2-3 that are bothering you brings another 2-3 - all day unless the weather changes. Smacking the 5-6 that are bothering you will send a request out for another 5-6. At which point the ear plugs are put in.

But, if you stop moving, soon there will likely be none bothering you. Must be that motion thing. If 'it' moves like a deer ...

Yup, just one of'm present indicates how crappy the day will be. :D

I think you are right as in the number of flies at you at any one time, but as the first ones get their fill the next available recruit rushes in. :D

I've noticed in the garden, onlye one of them deer flies will come colliding and crawling on ya, swat that and only one more comes by for a try at it. :D

"Multiply length times width in chains, then divide by 10. You now have the acres of that field. Ex; you've paced off a field that is 6 chains long by 4 chains wide. 6 x 4 = 32 square chains."

Okay........, I was making a joke here...., then forgot to come back to this thread to follow up with it. :

Did everybody miss this math mistake or was everybody just being polite by not pointing it out???

Figuring acres like that, I thought I'd at least be asked to sell land for somebody. ;D Good profit in selling more land than you have......

I had forgotten about it, thinking that someone would speak up.

But then, as we were being our 'normal' selves, we knew what you meant and were being 'polite' ;D
