Tripper
Older and more rusted every day!
Out here in the Tejas hills we have all kinds of creepy crawly critters... rattlers, copperheads, coral snakes, scorpions, tarantulas etc!
Mrs Tripper nearly stepped on a pretty big copperhead last week & although I don't mind most snakes... I don't tolerate poisonous ones. It met an untimely end!
On Sunday I was working under the deck I'm building and am always cautious & there was an empty plastic mulch bag under there & when I moved it... about a foot long copperhead was under there taking a nappy nap. They usually freeze so I crawled out backwards muey pronto. I got my ax & missed the 1st time & he took off. That was enough for me so I called it a day.... just glad it wasn't a rattler because they will attack you... been there & that definitely ain't no fun!
Oh yeah... got bit on the top of the head a couple weeks ago by a scorpion that had crawled in my cap. Always check it before I put it on now!
