But in the summer the snakes are out in full force. I like winter better.

Snakes don't bother me. Think it was Teddy Roosevelt who said " Carry a big stick & walk ( or maybe talk? ) softly ". Sorry, between AAADD & CRS, I get lost going to my mailbox. Will have to Google it & see what I find.

Okay, found it. I was close, it was Teddy, but not quite what I remembered ( surprise, surprise ). Here it is:

When I was out on the ranch I always had my 9 strapped to me cause I dont like snakes. But I do leave the good snakes alone but the rattlesnakes I do harm to them.

Rattlesnakes & copperheads are fair game. I can remember when I was just a little kid ( not more than maybe 4 or 5 ) & my dad almost set me down on one. I was riding on his shoulders at the time. Think I climbed back up his arm before he could even get me off his shoulders. Screamed so loud I probably hurt his ears.

Snakes are really scary if you really think about it. I have bird shot for my 22 just because of snakes.

Hey Darrel, I've got a Detriot in the rear axle and a Trac Loc in the front with extra clutch discs stuffed in there to make it tighter, more like a true locker than a limited slip.

And if I had a job, a girl friend, and a dog or two, then I'd have a life to talk about. Right now I have none of them, so nothing to talk about.

Think carefully about that Greyghost. You may wind up missing the dog.
