This is a true story and a story to see if you could pick with me. Some of the names have been changed to protect the identity of those who maybe embarrassed! =) I love picks....the dirty and messier the better. Or so I thought until this evening! Standing in a garage, my mind swirling with metal chairs and wooden benches. I stand in the corner trying to focus and take everything in, but can not stop from grabbing things I know I want for the grange. The guy I took with me, we will call him TOM and he is my better half =), was feeling the rush of a good pick. Works his was back into the corner I had just left. He moved a few items and lifted a small piece of insulation. Jack pot! Several yard sticks. As he reaches for the last group of them, 4 inches from his hand laying coiled, is the largest black snake I ever seen!! TOM who is not a fan of snakes does a ninja cat back flip across the garage, which sent everyone else into a panic scramble!! It was impressive, I did not think TOM still had those kind of moves in him. The owners who wanted to leave the snake lay, put me at a disadvantage. I had to keep one eye at all times on the snake and Tom then had to smack everything he reached for with a stick. We made our way to the shed and then the house. With every move thinking of the black snake and not wanting to be surprised again. Just as it started to work its way to the back of my mind we start into the basement. You would think it was my 1st trip, TOM had made his way down the steps before me, but I managed to because so entangled in a cluster of 100 spider webs. They were around my arms and face. Sticking in my hair and down my back. I yell, how did you not get all these webs? TOM says, I ducted! Picking pay backs, I guess!! All in a days work, but I need to wash my hair!
