Yesterday I asked about using up some leftover marine grease(boat trailer hubs) on my backhoe's bushings. Thanks for the replies.
It occurs to me that I might do well to use it on the last few at the bucket.

William, On the serious side, I lived next to a 15000 acre tree farm that was having trouble with beaver building dams at culverts and flooding their roads. They put large poly pipe in the culvert all the way across and it extended over 15 feet into the pond side. They capped the end and had 3/8" holes all along both sides of the top at 11 and 1 oclock. On the down side of the culvert they had a stand pipe sticking up that would allow the pond side to stay at the same level. Their culverts were three feet or larger and we never saw one of them ever blocked again in over 10 years of their use. If they don`t have a good flow they don`t know where to put the dam.

You can also defeat them if they are damming up a creek by tearing out the dam down to the creek bed, laying a largish-diameter pipe on the creek bed which extends well beyond the base of the dam on each side, and letting them rebuild the dam over the top again. Creek will continue to drain through the pipe, and the little varmints can't figure out why the dam isn't working. I'm told they will eventually abandon the project and move to Cleveland.

oK-Y would you grease the beavers? Does it make them go faster? (HA, HA)

Thanks for the laugh!

Fried in lard is good, if they're fat maybe just a coating of pam in the skillet....;>)

They are good roasted or make great jerky too.
