I've found small timber rattlers, like 2' or so, at eye level in brush tangles. Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something. Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby... I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

Can you imagine what your house would look like after several clips? Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends! If being a dumbass was fatal some of you would be on your death bed!

It blew my mind how they get up there till we watched one maneuvering side to side up the inside of an I-beam one night. Crazy.

It appears the snake was on top of the header beam above the door and squeezed outside between the door and stripping, using it to help peel the old skin. Gave me a serious case of the willies for a while every time I went into the basement. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe
