Seriously nice lookin tats.
Trucker friend took a load of Cummins engine cores to Laredo which is on the Texas Mexico border. While he was waiting for his load home he got offered a quick cash job of moving a couple of porta cabins on a vegetable farm. He pulled along side the first one and a bunch of migrant worker surrounded the porta cabin as it was lifter with a small crane. Rattle snakes came zipping out from under it and the workers were chopping them up as fast as they could. Once the cabin was loaded he drove off refusing to strap it on and never got out of the truck until he was sure nothing was lurking in wait.And that's how 99% of people get bitten. Trying to kill them.
You never pick something up off the ground from the side closest to you here. Never... 2 years back I was removing cattle troughs from a farm. Couple of big browns under a few. Several years back we got a new neighbor. First experience with irrigation too. He was telling me one day about sticking his arm up a 6 inch terracotta irrigation pipe to clean it out. I told him he was insane... The amount of snakes we would get out of them after summer when we started autumn watering....pull the cup out and watch em wash out the other side..Even had one go up a pipe fully under water once. He was still there when I got the 12 gauge and waited for the old man to pull the cup outTrucker friend took a load of Cummins engine cores to Laredo which is on the Texas Mexico border.

I have worked in the flevopolder for a good few years. I used to tell the bossman not to pee me off or I'd organise a bunch of contractors and dig a hole through the dykes.Was once in Holland with someone driving alongside a big bank
