True. :-)
SHOOOOOOOEEESSSS......
Sounds like something you could step into without much in the way of training; at least not the medical part.
LOL!
This is what a good zoom lens and a cold day can capture. We counted at least four - one momma and three youngin's. There were probably more, but we didn't press the issue. Heh.
Yikes! That gives me the willies!
It's a timber rattlesnake. I haven't seen one in the wild before. It was kinda neat. The last time I saw a rattler, I was back home as a kid. I ran to get Dad to shoot it. He kept a pistol loaded with snake shot in the house at all times - not that we ever had that many rattlers in the yard. Maybe one every year or so.
threadkill.
Snake bit
Could be the shoooooooes, too.
Lil' wouldn't let the Shoes of Power sign the guest book...
Egads! :~o
Eeeeeee...
No thanks!
Gosh, this wind is kinda scary!
Hey, is work calming down at all? I'm going to take some time off next week since there's one day where I can see my little bruvver...but I'm thinking I could take a day or so besides that to get the van checked and all. If it wouldn't be cutting things too close...
Oh - which day? I'll call and see if we can get an appointment! And what, exactly, do you want done/checked?
Thursday would be the easiest.
And I want an oil change, for sure. Be nice if I could also get a full safety check, pretty much. The steering isn't straight (have to hold the wheel to the right to go straight), and it shimmies. So do the brakes. And the brake light is coming on periodically, but I think that's just low-ish brake fluid. It happens more on corners and when the car is cold.
It's a '97 Mercury Villager, if they need that.
And I'm really debating going all-out and switching the oil to that fancy stuff...
OK - Sounds good. I'll call tomorrow and see.
And back to the weather, it's definately fall-like all of the sudden, huh!
Yep. Chilly in here, a little, which gives me an excuse to dig out my nice fleece tops.
I rather like cold, in small doses...
Speaking of the van, it's really interesting driving it in this weather. It makes a pretty good sail.
