Watched the Masters. Watching NHRA since that went off. Just ate two nekkit cheeseburgers. I can't do no more!
Good morning D! Lots of rain last night but first time for sleeping like a baby in awhile. I needed it plus you can water your grass but nothing brings life like rain.
Has GhostVol been buy at all? cordmaker how are you? Man more coffee!
Watched spring game with some good signs. We have some massive o-lineman. Coach Cal out recruiting. Things here are good!
We probably won't know for a while anyway
I just walked back in the house. Been outside and walked through the garage and there he was. A huge snake. At least a 6 footer. I grabbed the first stick i could find but it was not strong enough to hold him. He got away and ran up under the refrigerator. I will go back out in a minute or two and get him back outside. If my wife finds out about this she will freak out. She was not raised around snakes like I was and gets scared around them.
Morning D, more coffee! I go to my MD at noon for a follow up. Feeling good and I think I'll have a good visit! Take care all and be safe and healthy!
Ditto.Hope your checkup is a good one.
Matt Jones is not doing it for me today.
Great story. Cotton mouths. Man oh man that is one snake that brings fear and caution. A diamond back rattle snake will at least warn you.. A cotton mouth is aggressive. I attended a poisonous snake seminar many years ago offered by an animal rights group.. The instructor insisted cotton mouths just want to be left alone and will not go on the offense but will run from trouble. I immediately spoke up and said that was about as crazy a statement as I have ever heard. Obviously the person had not be in the Florida wild. In the year 1977 I was fishing with three other friends on the Withlachoochee River. This is a very wild river that runs to the Gulf of Mexico and we were in a very remote area. Probably a good 15 miles from anything as the crow flies. One of my buddies asked me to take a long cane pole and check the depth. We were about 2 feet from shore. I thought it was about 2 or 3 feet deep and when I checked I must have hit a gator hole because I didn't reach bottom and my momentum threw me into the river. Above were live oak tree limbs hanging over the river and unknown to me cotton mouths were hanging from the limbs. As I hit the water two cotton mouths dropped into the water and another buddy yelled "COTTON MOUTHS". I swear I came out of that water so fast it had to set a world's record. When I got in the boat I was shaking all over. My friend took a his pistol and shot both of them. A cotton mouth will take you out of this world and I don't mess with them.Sawnee, back in the late 80's we had a tough regional drought. Terrible, my baby Diana was about 3 years old. I watched as she keep staring into an old sand pile.
I walked over and there was 4 to 5 baby cottonmouths. I went crazy getting her back into the house. I went to the garage and not first weapon of choice grabbed the weed eater. Oh man I did some slicing and dicing.
I worked for my neighbor as General Manager of a Mobil Industrial Lubrication Business. During this time I get to my office and In the corner is a huge Cotton mouth. The only weapon I had was a 3 pronged coat hanger . It was a circus, miss, miss, miss hit. Went on about 10 minutes till I finally got a head shot.
Every snake that passes by me will face a certain death. My MOTTO is kill first then identify. They just give me the creeps.
My friend hope you removed the one in your garage.

I hate to see stuff like that.My wife told me there is a big fire in Paris, France. Notre Dame Cathedral. Looks very bad
Very scary, indeed. I don't like snakes either, but I don't kill non-venomous snakes if I have time to identify them.Sawnee, back in the late 80's we had a tough regional drought. Terrible, my baby Diana was about 3 years old. I watched as she keep staring into an old sand pile.

This is tragic. France has pretty much gone secular and I doubt few people attended the church but as you indicated it is as work of art. Art that can never be replaced. The building itself was architecture from an age that can not be duplicated. Plus all of the contents and artifacts inside. It is very sadI hate to see stuff like that.
It is a work of art and I am not a Catholic. I protested against that church but they are good folks.
Stepped on one last fall that was sunning at one of my fishing holes and I killed another one at rattler pond last year as well. Will pull up picture when I get home from work.Great story.

And yes I did get the black snake out of the garage and into some brush near the house. I want to keep him safe because I have so many pests that come out at night I need all of the help I can get.
DEATH AWAITS.

You need a pet mongoose like Rikki-tikki-tavi.I got bitten by an unidentified snake when I was a kid. It was in an overgrown field and I never saw the snake. Spent a day in the hospital. My wife stepped over a rattlesnake that was lying in the stepdown from my kitchen door into the garage.
