OT The Home Isolation Thread- What are you doing?

I recommend brushing your teeth so you don't need dentures.
My parents took terrible care of their teeth and had to have dentures when they were in their late 30s. My father had a long talk with me when I as about 12 about the importance of brushing my teeth. I took it to heart and now in my 70s I have all of my natural teeth.
Brush twice daily and floss daily. I spend five to ten minutes brushing my teeth twice a day. I use to spend 15 to 20 minutes twice daily but as I age I'm getting more lazy.

 

Rattler I killed yesterday...15 rattles and a button...never seen that many rattles before...usually they have no more than 6-8.

 

Do you have a date on this? Is this a new put together, or something actually handed out back in the day?

 

Eastern Diamondback?

 

Every day I want to change the name of this thread to, "The Home Isolation Thread- What are you wearing?"

 

wow....how long was it?
Did you throw it on the BBQ?

 

Nah, Timberback...but here's a pic from 2-3 year of a big ass diamondback on the tailgate of my truck that I killed near my deer stand, about a 6 footer...and fat;

 

lol...nah, I just kill 'em...I've tried rattle snake meat before but not my cup of tea....the timberback was just a hair over 4 ft, which is big for their type but again, I've never seen that many rattles on any kind of rattler.

Here a picture of another timberback I shot in my yard a few years back and he was much smaller than the one I killed yesterday (machete)...maybe 3 1/2 ft...don't know if you've ever seen those BS pictures on the net of people claim that the picture is of a 10 foot'/100 pound rattler...no way someone could hold a 100 pound snake way out in front of them.

And to prove the point to my wife we took a picture of me holding a small timberback on a broom handle way out in front of me which puts the snake about 6 feet closer to the camera than I was...the snake might have weighed 5-6 pounds but the illusion makes it look like a monster.

 

Thats badass. What state do you live in with all these rattlers?

 

Georgia

 

I was fishing the Deschutes last summer near the mouth, looked down and there was a rattle snake swimming right in front of me, my grandson to a stick and picked it out of the water and laid it on a big rock to look at close up. When a park ranger drove by I flagged him down and he put the snake in a 5 gallon bucket to release him elsewhere. He told me that they were seeing a great many more snakes in the region than years past and wasn't sure why?

 

I was at first gonna say, you just kill them?? Why??.. But then...

These things come in your yard? ?? Holy Jebus!!! I would set up mines around my perimeter!!! Illusion or not....

 

I used to take one of these overseas with me on tour and sell it before coming back to Hawaii.more than double my money...great little travel amp! I liked the snakeskin version.

 

Is it real skin?

 

naw...it's probably vinyl..I have a real snakeskin guitar strap though...made it myself

 

Did you kill the snake yourself?

 

Nope..a friend in Taiwan had a factory that made stuff and I got a bag of them for free...they were the perfect size for a guitar strap but too small for his projects. I still have some left over somewhere
