Downright cold here today! OAT is 52, and it's almost 2PM on the 15th of June. Sheesh.

Going to be cool here the next two days, but then it is going to climb back up over 100, with the high of 109 on Sunday.

It was raining pretty good here when I left the office at 1630. Still in the mid 60's with the Dutchmen playing 10 pins. 😜

No value but sentimental , that truck has taken me to hell and high water , maybe not the right saying , with only 1 recall in the life of the truck I added 365 thou miles and 6 sets of tires later I use to be able to jump in start ( every time ) and go, well a little splicing and tape it all back up it should be back up and running , now where the hell is that Snake

Can't beat old trucks. You know all their quirks, and they always seem to be ready to go no matter what.

Happy thirsty Thursday Nor Cal.

Okay, so let's make it official. Send all your snakes to Scott's house.

Here's a fun one for you Scott:

Dad got a rattler last week that had a big healed wound mid body, and no rattles!

My theory is somebody hit it with a shovel and just knocked it out. Cut off the rattles and didn't remove the head. Dirty dog woke back up and went about his business...

Anybody want some rattlers, they will be showing up at my place soon. For now, it went back to being cool and rainy. Yay!

No, I don't want no rattlers. LOL I would probably have a heart attack if I saw one near me.

Hate to say it, but I'm used to them now. I have stomped them to death with a bare foot on more than one occasion.

We've had 3 or 4 of them here so far this year, and it ain't even hot yet. We don't kill them, we will just let them be unless they are close to the house. If they are close to the house, we re-locate them.
