Oh, I meant in terms of trying to get into the house Mitch, I've heard of its reputation - anywhere else, but Australia, and it'd be called something like the Deadly Brown Viper, or the Brown Killer Snake, but I know you don't go in for hyperbole ('For crying out loud, it's only a Salty!')I don't know about cheeky brother,
The venom of the Eastern Brown Snake is rated as the second most toxic of all snake venoms in the world, next only to that of Inland Taipan (which is also a native of Australia). The venom of an Eastern Brown Snake contains a cocktail of poisons.
It's a good thing to do mateThanks Jack
I like to keep bone, stag & wood waxed every so often, gives a nice sheen..
You have a good day & get a nice coffee somewhere![]()
I was accosted by a toothless hag in the middle of town today, who asked me if I'd like a dance!
We got some good stuff in that first run buddySweet horn Jack. He must have been a real stud to give up that fine horn.![]()
My calendar is blank, which explains a lot!![]()
This isn't my engagement calendar, by the way. It's my where are we again? calendar.
No, so many small businesses go under for reasons that are often readily apparentThat doesn't sound like a good business plan![]()
Thank you very much SteveI always love seeing that Lamb, such nice horn !
I agree Todd, I know other businesses that have gone under for the exact same reason, failing to factor themselves into the equation, and also being too quick to hire, and hand onto, mediocre staffBeautiful lamb Jack. I agree. In my opinion, the reason we go back to places is because of the experience and the people are a huge part of the experience.![]()
I'd forgotten you were away Todd, I hope you have a lovely time on the slopesGood morning Guardians. Going to do some light and easy skiing later this morning. Several years ago I took a picture of a non-lamb in this very window. I like the light, so I thought I’d take the same photo with my Albers. Have a great day everyone!View attachment 2497477
Spooky. One has considerable motivation to become more observant.Dwight it really depends where you are, on the coast you get a lot red belly black snakes. Where I grew up in outer suburb lots of bush, now mostly developed. In drier areas seem to be more brown. Here's a video by forum member sonofwilfred Dan's a farmer.
Thanks pal!Fantastic wood buddy!
So... you pull their teeth and then have a dance...I was accosted by a toothless hag in the middle of town today, who asked me if I'd like a dance!
Well, that makes our eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, coral snakes, and cottonmouths just seem quaint!The venom of the Eastern Brown Snake is rated as the second most toxic of all snake venoms in the world, next only to that of Inland Taipan (which is also a native of Australia).

Having called in for coffee at Charlie's anyway, but not wanting to eat there, I went into town, and had lunch at my favourite Thai place. I ended up with quite a few things to do in town, doing some shopping, going to both my banks, and then picking up my prescription. I've just back homeHope everyone's day is going well

Good morning Guardians. My wife is having her girl friends over in a little while for card games so I will be making a hasty retreat with my HHB.

Hey! I represent that remark!And forget about living where comatose iguanas fall from trees when the temperature dips low. Wow. Here no hidden gators lunging from puddles thankfully.

Mercy sakes that horn is outstanding! Sounds like you had an interesting day yesterday.Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing OK, and made it through another week in one piece. Here, it isn't sunny, but it isn't raining either, which is a welcome reliefI have quite a few things to do in the house, so I don't think I'll be able to get out until this afternoon. I might call in at Charlie's for coffee, but with cake off the menu, and conversation limited to my very limited Italian, due to only Anna and Fabrizio being there, I might not bother. I've only called in once this week, and it was pretty quiet. It's a shame. Having set up a good cafe, I think Hisham has been far too quick to absent himself from running it, since he was one of the reasons people went in. Managing it out to a couple of people who barely speak a word of English, don't cook very well, and one of whom is a total misery, isn't a recipe for success
Going with an Old Friend today
Have a great day Guardians

Fine photo my friend
Don't forget the deadly Adder!Well, that makes our eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, coral snakes, and cottonmouths just seem quaint!
I've heard the Black Mamba and Fer-de-Lance aren't anything to sneeze at either!
That sounds fascinatingAs a teen, I was a junior member of the University of Miami's Herpetological Society and got to speak with Bill Haast on a number of occasions. Interesting cat, to say the least.
As a kid, my folks used to take me to his facility, the Miami Serpentarium, where he was known for doing live demonstrations with his 16-foot King Cobra. Later, at one of the herp society meetings, he admitted that when he and his wife were arguing, he'd let the cobra's strikes come extra close as he knew she'd be watching from the kitchen window and would reconsider the importance of whatever the argument was about. Their home was on the property and he did the cobra show in what was basically his front yard.
That's pretty cool!They had a massive sculpture of a king cobra hovering over the entryway to the Serpentarium, and when the facility closed, the cobra sculpture was donated to, and installed on the roof of South Miami Senior High School - their mascot? The Cobras, naturally.

Thanks buddyCool pic Jack !
You too KurtI gotta tell you Guardians I do not like bugs. Especially big ones. Bug sizes around here keep within my toleration zone. That’s a plus for me living in the Golden State. And forget about living where comatose iguanas fall from trees when the temperature dips low. Wow. Here no hidden gators lunging from puddles thankfully. Turkeys here are pretty friendly though. Have a good Friday and weekend.

Thanks pal, I forgot to post the pic I took, on my phone, of Boring Ray's sign, yesterday. I'm guessing Tool Man wrote it out for himMercy sakes that horn is outstanding! Sounds like you had an interesting day yesterday.
You're free to imagine what you like Tyson, but please don't share it, I'm going to be having nightmares as it is!What's missing from this story is what happens next. So I am free to imagine a samba, or a foxtrot, or maybe just a classic slow dance. Good on you, Jack.![]()
Slick as can be David
Afternoon Guardians! Hope ya'al are having a fine Saturday. Cloudy and cold here today. Wind is blowing hard. Got my stampede string cinched down tight so my hat don't end up in Oklahoma.
