Almost stepped on a rattlesnake this morning while going out to feed the birds. Made a deal with it and poked it on its' way. Almost stepped on a second bigger rattlesnake and the deal was off for this one. Put the .357 into service as deadly force for the first time. Two shots - dead snake. The most unnerving part was
the fact that the body slithered slowly 3 feet away from the head after it was severed. Cut off the rattles for my BFF Rachel (I owe her a birthday present). I would rather not to have to do this on a regular basis so I am moving the bird feeding station further away from the house as the seed might be attracting a small rodent population - thus the diamond backs. Live and let live - but not so close to my house...
Finally opened up a new can of paint and went to town with a brush. Finished all the cutting in after 4 hours. Now all that's left is roller work. Benita spent the day admiring my work and the shadow of her longhorns.
