I was in my son's basement a couple months ago when I saw one right over the electrical box, I asked him why he had a rubber snake down there, he said he didn't. He left me alone, I left him alone, carry on my mouse eating friend.

When I first move from south Texas to Nashville,TN, One of the most awesome and comforting things I noticed was NO SNAKES.

Plenty of snakes in TN, here too, but they aren't trying to live with you, like diamondbacks.
They're out in barns and woods.

South Texas, keeping something handy was smart. Just walking out onto the porch at night was touchy.
Only use I ever found for those stupid blue capsules loaded with birdshot for my .44 was porch snakes.

Today marks the wife and I 23 anniversary. She is a good woman.

Congrats, pal!
That's a good run!
Iffy man can't keep a good woman, so some tip of the hat goes your way, too.

March, we hit our 32nd anniversary.
Good woman! I try to keep up.

Anyone coming to the Muncie show, I’ll be set up under the Edged Tools banner. We’re right next to Brian’s surplus

Sheet and pillowcases in the wash. Going to have to wait for the grass to dry to mow.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I think I'll take my clippers and Tordon and walk around to take out some volunteer trees I've been seeing. Walnut, oak and maple mostly.

Came back a bit ago from the Farmer's Market with a decent haul of fresh stuff.

Some zucchini in this haul. I plan to cut them longwise, batter and fry them into crispy treats to go with the pulled pork BBQ.

Same guy, recognizes me now. "Three pounds or four?" as I walk up.

Guy behind me said he was fishing about a quarter mile away on the river and all he think of was the BBQ smell. I let him go ahead for his breakfast sammie.

It was early and they were still working on pulling out at least six big butts to start.
$10/lb. I see no down side!

Another family business. I always leave a tip. I buy the dad and two sons a six pack for their efforts, at least.

I would love to go, but Wife is on vacation this week and, except for raceday, it's all about her.
She does a good job (pretending?) on race day; always has.

For the past two years the Indy500 has not been blocked out for me. Pray that holds.
Not sure if it's Penske or ESPN, but live broadcast!
I've given up on the CoCo600 these days.

All the rest of this week is nothing but what ever she wants to do. Pampering her.

Hope it goes well for you, V8!

Back patio is showing 68F right now, but in the sun, you can really feel its sting.

Yep, it feels good in the shade but still muggy. The sun just makes it feel steamier.

Got sidetracked from volunteer tree duty and wound up cutting a big cluster of suckers off the tree in the side yard. I'm not sure what kind it is, but now I have another big pile of stuff that has to dry before I can burn it. Trimmed some off the weeping cherry too. Piles and piles and piles...

Hello BD

 

[Expat]

Vacuumed half the house. Cleaned the bathrooms. laundry still rolling. May go to the grocery… or wait until tomorrow.

 

[Expat]

Staying overcast here. I dusted some garden stuff earlier.

 

[BeDome]

Hey, Expat

 

[BeDome]

Wife is still sleeping. I'm about to take a mirror in there and check her for signs breathing.


But what good is a vacation if you can't sleep some to catch up?
