yes sir I understand and with having rain all week you need to get out in the sun!


You don't know what you have, until you miss it.Yes, @janton, all these gray days and the rain makes one sad and it made me lazy. It's so good to have the sun back again.

Yes sir that's very true. We don't have perfect weather here and I don't like the snakes but the sun shines pretty much all year so that makes up for a lot.

I don't know if I could live with so many snakes around. When you see a snake here it is a little sensation, because they are quite seldom. And when you see one, it is mostly a non-toxic one.

howdy again sir johannpiber! I think I went to bed last night before I finished replying to you, what did you do after work, went around the lake or did you go somewhere else?
About the snakes, yes it's creepy and you have to be on constant lookout in the spring, summer and fall months, the three months of winter are wonderful because you don't have to worry about them.

But I kill everyone of them that I see because if you don't then they might make this their home area. We also keep the grass cut short all around the house and we don't have anything in the yard or around the lawns that they can stay under like equipment or stacks of wood or anything like that, same thing for scorpions because they love wood piles and things laid on the ground.

Yes you did - I have been waiting for a reply, but nothing came :( lol


I finished my work at yout 10am, rode once around the lake, had lunch and then I went for a short motorcycle tour again :)Good evening @janton :)

I understand now, why you mow your lawn all the time ;) If there were so many snakes around here no one of my family would go out of the house anymore. But you are used to this and know how to handle it - best luck from me.

Howdy sir johannpiber! yes sir well some people love snakes and like to pick them up and they don't kill them if they come onto their property, they drive them a couple miles away and release them. But I'm not picking them up unless it's when they're dead and it's with a shovel.

I just keep a gun close by at all times or carry one, I carry one when I'm mowing especially. If you keep your place very clear of any hiding places and keep the grass cut short then that helps because they aren't attracted to anything around the property but we still find them all around the house, not often though, maybe they'll just passing through, I don't know.

I don't think they like vibrations so I just need to make a machine that pulses a vibration into the ground to keep them away. I think I'll look into that.

But on a happier note, your day sounds wonderful! And the weather is nice enough to ride the motorcycle yay!
