Don't think this little guy was trying to find a place to get dry!!! They are pretty much watersnakes....although some of them leave the creek a little ways from my house and head for higher ground when it floods. I think this little guy was frog hunting, but all the tadpoles in the pond are still tiny...no baby toads yet!

I bought a ribbon snake from PetSmart when my daughter was pretty young for a pet and she loved it. I've caught all sorts of snakes in my yard and neighbors...(they knew I was the local Steve Irwin....and would come get me to remove snakes.) More on this later....

I caught a baby Texas rat snake around 15 years ago...it's about 4 1/2' long now. Anyway, this thing has escaped several times over the years, and although my ex-wife never completely could get comfortable with it...she helped me look for her when she got out!

So...one day, a neighbor knocks on the door and says:" How do you catch an iguana? " I say:" With your hands! " He said: "Well come on, because there's a 3' one in my backyard! " My wife insisted I make a cage for it right away because "I'm not sleeping in this house with that thing loose!" (Even though it was in the bathtub with shower doors and COULDN'T get out.) It was really mean at first...but settled down in a day or two. I let it go to explore the house and it came into the kitchen and my wife jumped up on the table scared to death! In a couple of days though, while I was petting Bowser and he was napping on my chest....my wife's opinion suddenly changed. Soon....she loved that lizard and had it her lap all time!

 

Guess a combo of both I took 3yrs of it in school from 8th-11th grade, didn't do anything in 12th cause I was too concerned with getting out at 2:10, plus I needed some other classes to get my credit requirement, I graduated almost a yr a go so kinda rusty lol

 

Mornin' all. Coffee's ready.

Let's go Churchill racin' Ger.
... of the 1 horsepower variety ...

 

It looks like a yota show so far J, as long as a chev doesnt win

 

Yeah, Ger, Toyota's really been spanking everybody at NASCAR lately, haven't they?

 

yep, hey that was a weird wreck with Denny huh

 

Good evening guys! Menudo is ready!

Hmmmm.....seems some people don't believe in Aliens, UFO's, or Bigfoot! I've told them I can absolutely prove they are real!!

Any guys here need absolute proof?

 

Mmmmmmmm Absolute.... With Orange Juice? Or lemon wedge with sugar?

 

Hmmmm...Pretty good...but honestly, I don't even know what "proof" Absolute is....I don't drink Vodka!

How about "indisputable" proof!

 

Well, that's one way to put it.

Actually, I don't mind a good Jack n Coke or Beam n Coke now and then.

 

I'm a career drinker...but what's that got to do with Bigfoot, aliens, and UFOs?

 

With some people they all blend together. I can do the aliens thing but I'm not really into UFO's or Bigfoot myself.

 

Good Morning guys!

Coffee's ready! Hope y'all survived the storms. Just got heavy rain, wind and marble sized hail here.

 

but waiting for rain here for a while.

reports are we might get a sprinkle this friday......
