Hey it's Monday, and March is dang near over!!
Josh and the lovely Miss Lauren came by last night and we had pizza.
August is getting here quick !! Lauren was on spring break this week. So she's had all kinds of time to set and scheme,,oops,, I mean plan.
I got a busy day ahead of me. Going to go see Mom and Pops,,,borrow his truck,,get a tow dolly, go to Fayetteville, get Josh's car. (I guess it's mine now that it's broke),,bring it home. Hook up to the Princess's car and haul it to the car doctor.Fill up Pop's truck, return the tow dolly, return Pop's truck.
Visit a spell then come home and mow a little.
Yep,,that's what I said,,"mow a little".
And I hate to do that,,,"mow a little"...
because once I do,,,"It's on like Donkey Kong !!" until about October.
Everything I mow will grow twice as fast next week. I usually get it worked out to where I mow on my last day off,,,or the afternoon I have to go back in. Sometimes I have to mow twice a week just to keep up. We don't let it get too high,,,I like for the critters to know they have entered my territory when they come in the yard. I like for them to know,,,especially the long squirmy ones.
Gosh I hate snakes !! But they love me,,I don't know if it's because they know I freak out from them or what.............
Here's a snake story for ya,,every word is true. I know,,,I was there..............
Times were rough in 1984. We was living in a rent house that had a leak in the roof,,right over the top of the bed, and the freakin landlord acted like I should put a roof on his house.
I was willing to do almost anything to have our own place. Almost Anything !!
So in the beginning of 1985, The Queen and I bought this old run down, burned up 2 bedroom
Jim Walters home, from a friend who just happened to be to getting into real estate.
He was flipping houses (you know,,buy it,,do a little to it, try and sell it)
They had already replaced the siding,windows and roof. There was 2 huge piles of trash (mainly fire and smoke damaged stuff from inside the house) but some just plain old garbage too.
We hung sheetrock on the walls, borrowed a old,old,old wood stove and moved in.
There was no bathroom,,,,that's right,, "no bathroom". There was a room where a bathroom should be,,,but there was no equipment in it,,wellll,except for a 5 gallon bucket.
You can use your imagination there.
A couple of weeks after moving in, I came up with a commode,,,then a bathtub. But we had no hotwater tank. So we warmed water on the wood stove, to put in the tub.
I'm telling ya,,,it was rough the first couple of months. If the fire went out during the night,,it got even rougher. We got up a couple of mornings and left over drinks would be froze solid in the bottom of the glasses.
Where was I,,,Oh yeah ! I finally got a hot water tank off a guy who replaced his electric one with a gas.
So I came home a little early. Got the tank all plumbed in, had to take off some of the exterior siding to finish up the shower.
I had new parts, old parts and used parts.
But,,,I didn't have the chrome cover for the
overflow on the bath tub, which let the tube fall to the side,,leaving half the hole exposed. So I put a wedge in to hold the pipe where it belonged
It was getting late by this time 11pm.ish
and I decided to cut the neighbors some slack and not nail the siding back on.
And I was exhausted myself. I remember coming in,,,sipping tea and watching Johnny Carson.
Then I jumped up and informed the Queen that I was ready for a much needed shower. Much needed !! I hadn't had a "shower shower" in a couple of months. So,,,I'm ready.
No heating up the water for the tub, just get in it.
First thing I do when I get in the tub is look at the overflow pipe and think,,,dern,,it's not quite right,,,so I try to wiggle it over just a smidgen,,,,and my dern wedge fell out and the pipe falls to one side,,,leaving half the hole exposed again....*Heavy Sigh*
But I don't care,,,I'm thinkin "Shower time Baby !!" I turn on the water and hot water flows from the faucet. WoooHoooooooooo !!
I'm eatin it up.
I get it all going,,,There's steam in the shower !! Real live steam !!
Okay,,,so I'm into it. The Queen,,is setting on the throne,,,not doing business,,,but playing with her toes.

"You know how those ladies are".
And she's yakkin at me thru the shower curtain.
And she's yakkin at me thru the shower curtain.
Telling me to save her some hotwater.
I'm like yeah,yeah. I'm all soaped up,,,and I mean ALL SOAPED up. I start sounding like that commecial where the girl's washing her hair and sounds like she's have an orgasm...oohhh,,
ahhhhh,,,yes,,yes,,yes !! And the Queen is giggling. I should mention that the Queen is about 6 months pregnant.
I've got soap all over me,,,eyes closed, I stick my head under the showerhead and begin rinsing,,,when suddenly,,,well inconspicially
,,,it was hard to tell,,,I had my eyes closed.
I felt something begin to slide along the side of my foot.
At first I thought maybe I was having a real orgasm, then I realized,,,,No I'm not.
I kind of wipe soap lathers away from my right eye and take a peek what's going on and OMG !!
I screamed like a little girl, did the "I'm in the tub with something scarey dance", tore the shower curtain down and levitated right out of the bathtub.
There's a almost 4 foot snake in the tub with me !!!
As I coming out thru the shower curtain, my shower buddy took off back thru the overflow hole. The Queen looked at me like I had seen a snake ! And she wasn't too sure if she wanted a shower now or not.
I still had to rinse off !!,,,it was hard but I stepped back in to rinse off,,,keeping my eye on the hole this time.
I got rinsed off and put my pj's on and opened the front door and my shower buddy was waiting on me. I grabbed an axe that was beside the door and whacked him,,,then I had two pieces of snake, bouncing and thrashing around,,,after a couple of bounces,,,I wasn't sure which was the front and back,,so I chopped those two pieces in two,,,then I had 4 pieces, bouncing around,,,a couple more chops
and more pieces bouncing around and satisfaction
of a job well done had finally set in when all the pieces

Ahhhh yes,,,adrenaline rush,,,,there's nothing like it.
