Old, Beginner, Trainwreck

Well, I wouldn’t actually hurt him, but…

And yes, that is a tragedy beyond words. I am afraid it is only going to get worse. Stupid hate! No reason for it.

I really need that fat ass at the library to get me the new Clive Cussler book, I just know Juan Cabrillo could it ALL better.

Ah…fire ants. I definitely don’t miss those. I got them all over me once, when I was four, from out of an old stump I was kicking. I ran across the courtyard, at the apartments where we lived, like I was on fire.

As a youth, we would pour gas on their beds and set them ablaze.
Seemed like a measured and equal response.

Oh yes! If it would have been in MY yard I would got the diesel out and torched their sorry little asses right there on the spot.

Ripped some of the sheet rock out of my house this weekend. Made a big mess, had to move stuff around, but you gotta do, what you gotta do. Have not really slept in four nights. I can lift heavy shit, pack heavy shit, move heavy shit, and I am fine, but a 5 pound weenie dog sleeping on top of the covers breaks my back. Every time. I have got to get this crap put back together, before they kill me.

It doesn’t matter how slow you are, just as long as you keep moving, right?

I need a movie clip from the movie, Remo Williams, where Chiun tells Remo… Silence! The emperor Smith is disgusted with your progress!

At least you didn’t find any fire ants.

Or snakes. At least not that you have mentioned.

No on the ants, but unfortunately yes on the snake. Big one got in the chicken house last night and killed my baby chick. He won’t eat anymore! I serve up a pretty decent lead sammich.

Sorry to hear that. Although, I very much appreciate your resolution.
What kind of snake? Or is there not enough left to tell?

Thanks Skip. It was just a chicken snake, or that’s what we have always called them. About 6 feet long, brown and yellow pattern.

Didn’t think Biker could handle anymore snake guts on here…lol

I’ll share a snake story. We moved from my late wife’s 225 yr old country home–where I’d lived for 32 years–partly because occasionally chicken snakes pursuing chimney sweep birds would fall down two of our chimneys. One memorable time was upstairs in our bedroom. The chimney screens would blow off letting birds make nests, and at 68 I don’t climb a 9/12 pitch slick roof about 35 feet from ground. Now I have one chimney, only neighbors for wildlife, and a very appreciative wife.

Oh no. No snakes in the house! But, that goes to show they can get into anything. We have had a lot of people move into this region in recent years and I always tell them to be careful. They laugh and say, oh they can’t get in there…lol. My neighbor from New Zealand is finding this out. Hey, I have tried to tell 'em, just like the last imported neighbors, they will figure it out.

Your stories are great. I love tuning in to see what new and exciting experiences have happened. You lead a colorful life!

So… My mom lives south of me about 30 miles, on just south of the Platte River. A couple of years ago, there was a lot of flooding, which drove the bull snakes out looking for someplace dry.

She walked into her laundry room one morning and there was a 6 foot bull snake on the floor.

She beat it to death with a broom.

Lol… about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Took on a bull snake with a broom, damn. I guess she don’t take any crap off of snakes, or anything else.

THIS is why I love the cold, it keeps the stuff of nightmares away. Months of sub-zero nighttime lows ensures that things like fire ants, killer bees, venomous snakes, scorpions, alligators and methamphetamine-crazed Floridians in stained tank-tops will never settle these parts.

Sure, I barely see the sun for about three months, but the thought of things I don’t like freezing to death is enough to keep me warm inside.

You mean like this?

Yeah…that one would get shot. Right there. Doors can be replaced.

We have all of the aforementioned vermin here, and no, Texas isn’t for everybody. I can say however, that I have been to every state except Hawaii, most of Canada and parts of Mexico, there is NO perfect place to live. There is good and bad in every place.

You had to do it, didn’t cha. My facebook friends always feel compelled to send me pics of snakes. Big, disgusting, nasty snakes. And Skip is right, I would blow his shit away, right there!
