Yesterday evening when I opened the doors to the shed to get some alfalfa, nestled in the alfalfa crumbs were two copperheads. I went and got a square point shovel and machete. I whacked down on both with the shovel, pinning both. A long length of the bigger snake was raring up, writhing around and I chopped it with the machete. When I shifted my weight to whack the bigger snake, unfortunately it caused me to let up pressure on the smaller one and it got away.
They're the only snake I kill. If they'd stay in the woods I'd be a Live and Let Live person.
I use long-handled pruners to dispatch them.

Woah - two at once yipes. Good work on the big one. Too bad the smaller one got away. I'm usually the one with the snake trouble. I use a shovel just like you.

Had a nice weekend, Saturday I picked up thistle heads out of the front pasture. All. Day. Long. Step counter racked up almost 5 miles but couldn’t record how many times I bent over. I packed 9 bags of thistle heads. Sunday morning, church and Sunday afternoon I went to friends for potluck supper. Got home to AC blowing hot air. House was hot. Spent night at son’s house on sofa, only furniture in it. Got AC guy here late Monday. Tried to get quotes from others, one never called back after leaving 4 messages, others scheduled days out to come look, can’t they price me a 4 ton unit over phone? First (and only) guy came down on price, made a cash deal, DO IT.
Yesterday, Tuesday, a friend brought a small AC window unit, it’s in living room window and I slept on sleeper sofa.
I’ve been rather lazy this week. I’m exhausted from all the previous weeks of activity. No place to cool off, tired and hot, not motivated, not in a good mood and just don’t care. I’ll get geared up again, but not today. LOL

I woke up at 3:15 this morning, and thought to myself, I wonder if Bay's AC needs a new capacitor? Its an easy job and the part can be bought at a plumbing/hvac supply store. Google it to see how to tell if your capacitor is bad.

It’s a 1999 model. Compressor is shot, no parts available, it’s too old. Capacitor was first thing he checked.
A lady tech and her male helper are here now putting in new system. You go girl!
