Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Don, I have a friend of a friend down west of Victoria that just got out of the hospital. He was standing in knee deep water(in a lake) and a water mocassin bit him on the ankle underwater. Fangs were about 1.5" apart.

Don, that ain't a fan belt!

Cottonmouth's are no joke, they will bite on land, under water, or on top of the water, never saw one fly, but I don't trust them! Their venom is about as bad as a North American pit viper gets. And they are aggressive often times.
Then there's those little bitty coral snakes...

Kyle I remember when I was a child my Dad took us water moccasin hunting one night. One picked up it head and came aggressively at us. My dad had a head light on and kept his cool and just as it got about 10 feet from us he unloaded his 12 gauge on it. That was scary.

Good evening all. 58F this morning calm wind and rain. 1.7 in rain gauge this morning, rain ended about 3 or 3:30 PM another 1 in or so in rain gauge, expect to be close to 3 in at final check in morning. Slow day today, putter on computer, flat on new bike due to leak in patch, so removed patch and used a different style patch. Getting better at pulling rear tire with fender and disc brake . Also got the new mount for new GPS in and now on bike. Watching Cards and Cubs on ESPN.

My old Impala has almost 332,000. Many things are going wrong with it. So many, that I've decided to take up my sister's offer to buy her 2012 Altima. It is kind of a mental struggle to give up on it because the engine is still in great condition. Problem short list includes, transmission, windshield, front wheel bearing hub assemblies, transaxle, catalytic converter...there's more but I just type this out to convince myself that I need to let it go. Just let it go...

Kyle, don't feel sad, pick another Disney film to sing to. Something from Lion King would perhaps be more fitting for an Impala.

Try Hakuna Matata - no worries ?

Good morning all. Woke up to clear skies, with only a touch of frost on the grass. Spoilt for choice on what I can do today - no doubt my wife will narrow that selection down a little.

My little Iseki got to move a lot of dirt yesterday. While a tractor took it away in a dump trailer, I had chance to admire a fantastic view, looking down onto the Cheshire plain. The snaps I took with my phone don't really do the scenery justice, even so I thought you still may like to see it too. Sorry about the size of the files, but if I compress them much more you won't see anything if you zoom in.



Riptides, in that middle pic you may just make out a farm with a tall concrete silo like yours. Not sure if they have turned the top into an observatory as you wanted, although from up there they would be able to see one - the white pixelated blob on the horizon is the Lovell radio telescope at Jodrall Bank, the most famous observatory in this country.

45 out this AM. The wife and I made an ice cream run yesterday and stopped by HD to pickup a new mower. I selected a 22 inch Toro to help me out around here. Go big! LOL. It sits in a box, in the bed of the truck. The latch broke so it is up and over getting stuff in and out for a while.

We continued our spring cleanup routines for most of the day yesterday.

Eric, those are some nice pics, love the horse!

Have a great day all, be safe!
