Coffee anyone ?

[Pastor Dave]

The field at the back of tbe church property I maintain for hay has its share of snakes and wildlife. It is behind the house, rabbit shed and shelter house that joins the playground. Today, the grounds team was mowing up next to the field which is only abt 8-10" high right now. I see an erratic swerve by the guy on ztr mower and then he does a 180 before end of his swath and he comes back through, then turns off his deck. He had hit a snake at the tail end, the thing struck at his mower deck, and he swerved, then turned to make sure he completed the job. It was abt a 24" copperhead.

I have a Colt Cobray derringer with a 4" side by side barrel that breaks open at the top and chambers 3" .410 shells or .45Long Colts. I typically carry it holstered with both barrels loaded with the .410 if I am doing work on foot out there. Snakes usually slither away fast, but if they don't hopefully have time to draw and shoot. Never have stepped on one. The North border are pines and have seen the occassional timber rattler.

Are you originally a southern person? I've never had that and for some reason it strikes me as being somewhat regional.

Bs &Gs is a staple food in the Midwest.
It’s a comfort food that every good Mama can make from scratch. I prefer mine with pork we raise. I buy the biscuits typically as it makes my work quicker.

Either way, come visit and I’ll fix you up!

For goodness sake..if you ever shoot one of those, keep it strictly to yourself.

wow-- this is a wake up morning! Sickies & snakes!

ONLY day off for me in last 8 and next 8! Trying to check in and there are sickies and snakes! Geesh. Glad to see you on line Wehner, had wondered where you have been.

It is very overcast here -- they say sun later for a few hours -- rain every day for last 17 days!!! Poss more for next week. My ground is squishy and grass HIGH. Goats are very unhappy, chickens and mini horses don't really care. You squish when you walk! And I am THE high spot on my road . What a messy July it has been. Garden is slam done! Farmers are moaning and for good reason. It's area wide along VA & NC coast. Flooding in areas. Shouldn't be any issue with the fill level of our reservoir lakes

I need to get a couple more bales of hay for the goaties. Yeah, diary goats do NOT like rain and wet. Humor them. Hay fields in area are high but, can't cut. What a mess. Been years since I've seen so much rain for so long.
I'm gonna boot up and do "something" while the sun is out. Haven't seen it in a few days!

That is likely because the REAL farmers were probably out tending their animals BEFORE they ate and came online

You squish when you walk!

As opposed to here where we are crunching when we walk. We were squishing in the spring though.
