Had some good weather for a few weeks. I got two roofs done and put in 120 of ditch and 2 culverts on my road.. Going to go get another truck Tuesday. When life gets tough just plow through it. Kill them snakes and knock those obstacles in the head.

That reminds me of a quote attributed to Will Rogers, "The best way out of a difficulty is through it."

Here, here, here.(or is it hear, hear, hear. With so any spelling police around one can't be too careful.) Anyway, on with my speech.

Leave the poor snakes alone. they have a tough enough life without you or any of us adding to it. Speaking of snakes, do you know the biggest killers of snakes; it's ants. If a poor snake makes the mistake of crossing over an ant hill the ants attack it by the thousands. Horrible way to go.

I am nice to actual snakes but I am nobodys friend when it comes to work. I want to get er done. Get outa the way or get run over.
A little note about my kindness to actual snakes--- I was retrofiting a foundation on a house when I uncovered a ball of several hundred garden snakes. I gently carried them in my bare hands to a safe place and set them up with a new hibernation spot. Another time I uncovered over 100 bats under a single roof ridge cap. I carried handfulls of them in my bare hands to a shaded spot under an eave and they all survived un hurt. I don't kill spiders either.

Moms are like that. When I told the lady about the bats I discovered on her roof she went into a panic attack and wanted me to kill them. I gave her husband a heads up when he got home and he got her calmed down. The next day he told me he had bats roosting all over the rafters in his garage lol.

That sounds like it might be hard on auto paint and tools, like living under a chicken coop. Though I hear it makes a great fertilizer. Caves must be getting harder to find or all the good ones are taken.

I dunno. Bats live all over. We had a lot that lived in the trees behind our house when I was a kid. They used to dive bomb us to get a drink of water from the pool when we were swimming at night

My brother, uncle, and I would stand under a street light as kids and swing away at them with a baseball bat. Out of about 50,000 swings, my uncle got a grand total of one.
