Eastern Diamond Back, Timber Rattler, and Ground Rattler are all found in South Mississippi. The markings don't exactly match any of the them, though it did have five rattles and a button . In this ones present "state" we just call it a "good" snake.

That must have been a junky mortar hoe from harbor freight. Get one of these for mortar and one of these for snakes.....problem solved.

Well actually Stonecutter,
I had not even heard of Harbor Freight when I bought that ho. But I've picked up a couple of cheaper ones since then that I would just as soon that my wife did not find out about .

Actually, Jackson makes a decent mortar hoe, and they are at big box stores. I hear they do a number on snakes too.

Thanks for the advice Stonecutter,
But, I think that I can heat the neck of my mortar hoe and straighten it out without breaking it. I have recently reinstated my walking stick"a (9 and 1/2 " Ruger Black Hawk) as my current weapon of choice for critters . In my hand, at close range, it feels like it is a handle and a half longer than a hoe .

Nice one. I come from a shooting family, but my brother took it to the next couple levels.

Wood fired therapy is good to ease the troubled mind and masonry good for the soul.

I was able to grout/tuck point my face dome brick joint this weekend. Finished pics to follow later.
I was also able to start on the something in the wood wood storage area that I have been planning for some time.

Several years ago an old friend (who lives in town) told me that he had some rebar and 6" mesh wire that he really needed to get out of his way. So on a scrounging run, I showed up with my pickup and 16 foot trailer. Along with the steel he loaded my as up with every thing thing that he did not want to pay to have hauled off. Oh well , that is just part of the game! One of the items was an old 16 foot garage door and all of the hardware. Most of that has been put to other uses except for the track and rollers. They will now be re-purposed for a slide out drawer for the wood storage area .

Gulf,

OMG, those SM tomatoes are three time the size of mine and to think they came from the same seeds............

PS the wife just saw your tomato pics and just laughed and went in the other room, so much for my gardening technique/skills. I am going to save some seeds to try again next year.

Gulf,

You would make Annie, from the NorthWest, proud with your scrounging skills...........
