Test...

Time Warner is on the way out. I ordered Direct TV a few minutes ago.

Bye bye idiots!

I have been satisfied with FIOS. I have had Time Warner, ATT, Comcast etc. Never has a sattelite system but I understand they are very subseptabable to weather and environmental conditions. The main problem with FIOS I they limit themselves to what areas they will provide service so it's not available to some.

I'm hoping this is the result of copious ammounts of birthday "celebrations" and not a mini stroke...

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!

I found a rattlesnake skin in the yard of my knew house. It was about a foot away from the house.

Next up I found 2 snake skins in the rafters of my barn.


I scared.

First, make sure exactly what kind of snake it is. Did it have the skin from the rattles on it? If not, you can take the skin in and have it identified to be sure. Some snakes are great to have around. If it's a bullsnake, leave it. It won't hurt you or your pets if you don't bother it. Unless of course, you have really small pets that run around outside. Then they might be lunch. Bullsnakes are awesome for keeping moles, mice, rats, gophers, etc... from your property.

If it's a rattlesnake, you can have animal control come in and remove them. Or, you can do it yourself. The best way is to remove things that they'd make their home in. Wood piles, rock piles, pipe racks, or stuff like that. Get a smudge pot and smoke those areas. If there are any snakes in them, they will immediately leave. Once they come out, the best way to kill them is either with a shotgun or take a yard rake and pin them to the ground. Then you can kill them with an axe or whatever. Once the snakes are gone, remove the nest. If you find a hole they nest in, you can smudge that, too.

Or another good way is to take a 20lb propane tank and pump propane down the hole. The gas is heavier than air, so the propane will fill the hole. The snakes will come out to fresh air, where you can kill them. Any babies that stay down the hole will die from the gas. Snakes will not come back in to nest in those areas if there is constant human traffic in the area. I've done this before and it is easy to do.

Waste of time. The cats wont do a thing unless it's a tiny grass snake, and all you are doing is providing the bull/rattle snake a chance at a meal.

Oh yeah. If you do the propane thing, I don't recommend smoking one of your cigars while you do...

:unsure

The one in the yard is most definitely a rattlesnake. There is a crapton of them where I live. Animal control might not help too much because there are literally dozens of them on my 29 acres. Truly fun times ahead.

A couple buddies, a couple cases of beer, a couple 12 gauges, and a smudge pot. Good times.

BONUS: Rattlesnake meat is tasty.
 
Might be a good idea to have a snake bite kit on hand, and a designated driver for emergency room visits. :art
