How much snark could a snarksnark snark if a snarksnark could snark snark?

Common harmless Wolf Spider.

Geez, what a bunch of gurls!

I'm gonna side with you on this. We thought it might be, but the images we found didn't quite match up. Also, I'm in northern VA, so I'm gonna think you are correct.

We didn't kill it, for a few reasons. One, the spider was on the side of our temporary shed (hence the tarp you see behind it). Not really a hotbed of human activity at this point, haha. Also, my family are not afraid of spiders, even poisonous ones. We don't mess with them of course, if they don't mess with us kinda thing. True story: For going on 5 years or so, we had two Black Widows that lived in our garage of our old house. They lived in one area of shelving we had in which I stored extra camping equipment that we rarely used, and the other in a corner near a crack in the door frame of the side garage door. The BW's helped cut down on insects in the garage; especially in the door area. We just checked them every so often so we knew where they were if we were going to be doing a lot of stuff out there. The one near the door was in my "shop/tinkering" area, so I was around it A LOT. LOL

They never tried to come into the house, or attack us, so...it was all good by us, I suppose.

So, even though spider webs creep me out and have me feeling yucky whenever I run into them (always feel like I need a shower afterwards), we just kind of leave them alone (the non poisonous ones of course). Once the spiders realize their area sucks for catching food, they move out, usually outdoors. Anyway, by the time we sold the house the BWs had moved out too. Good for them cause the new owners would have freaked out, LOL.

But, I will say this: The brown recluse is on my hit-list for sure. I hate them like no other arachnid and will kill them without mercy or remorse. I've seen the damages those little a-holes can do....

By two Black Widows in your garage, I assume you mean posters of Scarlett Johansson.
 
Got your back. Shot you a PM with my favorite place. 3 in stock, and more than 25% cheaper than the river. In case Dex can't hook you up.

Could you shoot me an email with the link please? I've been casually looking around for a 4 to see if I can get a better deal than the river.
 
Once Todd figures out you just called him a butt-face, I bet your next order gets the special "Murph's tea-bag patina".....




So what you're saying is the knife will be "seasoned" and should be sterilized before use? Or lick it first as it will taste like tea or meatballs? :D
 
That razor is badass Todd!

Didn't do any drinking last night... Won't tonight either since I got to be ready to hit the river at 545am.

But I did get my shed/workshop picked out and everything. They deliver it Tuesday. 10x20 with 3 windows, a house door, and 10 foot ridge vent.

Right at $3000. But it's nice... Checked multiple places and the superior brand seemed much better build than the handy homes or other brands we checked. They had loose nails and staples, where they missed and just left them... Lots of little things that added up... The superior brand I couldn't find any problems at all... But it was a few hundred more expensive than the others....

Figure I need it to last forever so the couple hundred extra is like an insurance policy lol

Looks like ill be digging a trench to run the power shortly... I hate digging.
 
Yeah WW, you need to get a tractor with all the attachments. Back hoe, brush hog, front bucket, probably a bunch of other stuff. I know a guy but he's in Washington.
 
Yea that stuff is expensive... I'd love a backhoe, but if I be a little patient I can normally borrow one from my father's work... I have to wait a week or 4 before they actually bring it by... But free is worth the wait lol

The trench will be about 30 foot long and about 3 feet deep.. There was a time I got paid to lay cable in the ground... Use to bury cable, set telephone poles and do directional boring.. Hate digging... But I don't mind if it means air conditioning in my shed lol.
 
Y'all heard of house warming parties?

I'm throwing a shed warning party... I'm registered at all the major hardware and tool stores, and anywhere else that sells work benches... I need tables.... I'll supply whiskey and food :D
 
It's plenty hot right here in Colorado. I don't need to go all the way to Florida in August to get swamp ass. And it's not literal here so that's a plus. Maybe in March.

My birthday is in March. 2 for 1. I expect double presents :D

It does get hot... But the rain.. My god man it's literally rained, at least a little, every single day I been here. Every single day no joke. It was supposed to be dry Wednesday and Thursday... Said 10%. Stormed. It's clear right now... I'm sitting on the porch and the sky is as blue as it can get... I'm sure it'll be back raining in a few hours..

Going kayak fishing in the morning... Gunna get rained on, I know it...
 
I'd wear a hat... But Hank Williams Jr still won't sell me the one I want :D

Need to talk one of my Aussie buddies into sending me a straw hat with a thick snakeskin band on it.

I bought a cheap camo fishing hat last time I went fishing... Soon as my son seen it he confiscated it and won't give it back lol
 
That's crazy. Hadn't heard about it, but it's easily believable. I'm surprised they even sent it there.
