Walt's wife catches the ole man looking

 

[Unca Walt]

Staying on topic, here is a biggie. Note the distance betwixt the fangs on this buzzer is about the length of a pocketknife blade... EEK EEK:

ness -- I dunno if you were around when I showed a special pic. It is a still from a video. My Beautiful Scottish Witch forbid me to do the trick I'd done many times in the past because the penultimate time (that means next to last, Rosty), I was a tad slow...

And the buzzer got the back of my hand with its lower jaw. Sheesh. Close. But new guys at the Hunt Club thought the other members were pulling the long bow about the trick.

BTW: I know of nobody on the planet that has done this. D'ysee, I noticed long ago that there is a frisson that goes down a rattler's back about 1/5 of a second before it strikes.

So my way of killing buzzers with a Swiss Army Knife was to get one leg as close to the snake as possible, lean forward, and bring my left hand in and out of range of the snake-strike in quick jabs.

When I saw the frisson, I would swing the knife about 10-12 inches ahead of the snake. They are so fast, the blade would hit them behind the head and stun or kill them and I could pick them up. Herself forbade this after my near EEK EEK.

But the guys prevailed and she said they should take a damned video of it while Himself does it ONE LAST TIME. So they did. Here is the still:

You are lookin' at total concentration here. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PS: I was successful on this final fling. That video saved me from having to show the "new guys". They called me "Snakebait" becuz I wuz always getting in hack with the fargin things.

OH BOY -- You don't unnerstand, Grasshopper.

I was taught how to milk a King Cobra by the Snake-Man himself Dr. Bill Haast , out of Miami .

He was like a Father to me at the time.

I'll have to have my wife dig out the old pics if we still have them
I was 12 maybe 13 at the time I worked with Dr Haast over the summer that year. You should see me Holding and milking The King Cobra , Big Sucker.

I was there the summer The King Bit the Dr for the 1st time, he went to hospital and walked out to return to the Lab. He had been injecting snake venom for many yrs for such an occasion , He lived .

 

[ROSTERMAN]

I remember Haast wanted to train me to be his protégée and have me live on the snake farm and teach me all he knew, but my parents decided against me staying any longer than the 1 summer, I would have almost been as famous as you Walter.

 

[ROSTERMAN]

Doc Haast later went on after the snake farm to create the Miami Snake Serpentarium and did world renown research into fighting snake bite poisoning by using their own venoms antibodies .

 

[ROSTERMAN]

I did later visit him and was helping milk a coral snake that nipped me on the very tip on my left pinky, I lost it. but survived with use of his anti-venoms

OK what did you do to get those three lines on the palm?

The whole hand swelled so much it had to be lanced open in several spots to allow for drainage. The hand never really returned to normal strength

Fellow Cannabis Grower I have a line up for the Spring Grow:
Inside 1 Lemon Auto Fem and 1 Yumbolt Fem
Outside 3 Blueberry Reg's I'll have to start about 6-7 babies hopefully I'll get 3
Outside 2 Gelato Fem and 2 Jack Herer Fem
Then there is the Supper Skunk that Carty gifted to me I might start 6.
I decided to order a new green house for the grow, this one has two doors with screens and eight windows. About $140. plus tax

 

[ROSTERMAN]

Rosty has stirred my ambition. Anybody here have a M-1 Garand?

If you want to waste ammo, but make a helluva racket, here is a picture that explains exactly how to make your Garand into full-auto. Pull the ring and hold it back:
