Wacky weather here! Bright sunny sky with loud, and I mean LOUD! thunder. It’s within a mile of here, and the booms are some serious dish rattlers. No rain. 😕

The roses are blooming in my garden, there is a pork roast in the oven, and I am relaxing with poms and kitties and #3 daughter; Life is Good.

We got the rain, and not far from here, they got nickel-size hail.

Not surprisingly, the rain got between the ears of local drivers. The fire house next door has been busy - it seems like their tones have been sounding every 15 minutes.

**kanga** sorry about the loss of your cousin. You’re right though about seatbelts. I could not imagine not wearin’ mine. Heh. When I come home and stop to get the mail from my mailbox at the end of the driveway, I automatically buckle up to drive the whole maybe 30 feet into my garage.

Dindin was teh num! No brag, just fact. 😃 I called JDD and Partner and invitated them to dindin. Everyone left full and happy. Oh and I did make a peach cobbler. MMMMMM!

**gotti** is has clouded up here and thundered in the distance several times this evenin’. So far, no rain.

I wanted to shoot the pooch tonight, but unfortunately, the ammo bag had been open to long; mini-marshmallow gun doesn’t work well unless they’re fresh & fluffy. Got him all worked up for nothing - he lovvvvves getting shot with edible things (though not too many as I can’t see them being good for him)

**Mom** , thanks for the reminder. The vet thought he was born in late May, so he’ll get a bowl full of MilkBones this weekend.

:eek: **SNAKE!!!** :eek: **SNAKE!!!** :eek: **SNAKE!!!** :eek:

omigodomigodomigod!!! :eek: **SNAKE!!!** :eek:

That was me half an hour ago. I was puttin’ the smoker back together after cleanin ’ it up. Right off the deck there was a :eek:[pygmy rattlesnake](http://www.vanishingspecies.net/animals/details.php/000059/Pygmy%20Rattlesnake/Sistrurus/Miliarius):eek: right off the deck! Da bear does not tolerate :eek: snakes. :eek: However, da bear butched it up and ran back inside, out through the garage, into the backyard, to the storage buildin’ with the lawnmowers and tools, grabbed a hoe and snuck up behind said :eek: snake :eek: and chopped it in half. :eek: I killded me a deadly, poisonous, had it in for me :eek: snake! :eek:

Ok, so there are very few, if any, reported deaths from a :eek: pygmy rattlesnake :eek: bite. Still it was a :eek: snake!!! :eek: I called OYKW and told him in a real panicky state after I killed the :eek: snake. :eek: Heh. He offered to come over and spend the night to calm me down. Believe it or not I told him not to as he was already in bed (WOOF! Bear in bed!) when I called. 😃

I hates :eek: snakes! :eek:

However I killded me one. I didn’t panic (ok I panicked) and call somebody to come kill the :eek: snake :eek: like I have in the past. I did it all on my own.

Ain’t y’all proud of me? 😃

I shall now attempt to try to go to sleep. Unless a great hoarde of :eek: pygmy rattlesnakes :eek: is now lurkin’ outside waitin’ to extract their revenge.

Nitey Nite Y’all! See ya in the mornin’. Maybe.

Weenie.  
I just pick up the nearest agricultural implement that costs more than fifty bucks and break it over the snake. :rolleyes:

**Swampy** , I couldn’t help but notice, the picture you linked to is from a site called “[www.vanishingspecies.net](http://www.vanishingspecies.net)”. Maybe if it didn’t go to a ‘hoe-down" it wouldn’t be a vanishing species. :rolleyes: Just sayin’ 😃

One question; are you gonna fire up that smoker again?

Baby Emma was born at 3:19 pm. 6lb 7oz, 19-1/4" long. I highly recommend witnessing childbirth at least once in your life. It is magical.

Hi guys.

I’ve been gone for, oh, almost a month now… Needed a break from almost everything. So, in 100 words or less, please summarize for me what I’ve missed. 😃

You all haven’t missed much from me. Same everything here…

I guess I’m only a partial Bubba; partial because I have 3 (yes, three) smokers out back, but not a full Bubba because I’ve never smoked a snake.

I smoked…well, roasted on a trash fire the copperhead I shot that was under my Evile Ex’s car.

I’ve come to believe we shouldn’t kill snakes.  
Hey, he’d have left her alone out of Professional Courtesy.
