Last few weeks

Yes, finally I am posting. There has not much been going on here, except for my wife going on vacation without me. Besides being one of the most relaxing vacations she has ever had (not because I wasn't there) she had a exciting time hanging out with her sister.

The destination of choice was south Florida.
Here is her sister Paula at the southernmost point in the US.
That seems like it would be a lot of fun.
The girls have officially gone wild.
Classic beach pic
I guess the sunsets were like this every night.
Another beach scene.
Here is the wife entering the everglades.
And here she is going really crazy. Note to self: make sure Brenda knows you cannot do this to a live animal.
Easy there fella. Man you leave this girl alone for one minute and the vultures are on her like stink on s***.
Is that gator smiling??? I would be as well.

So here it is. Yesterday I had a ok day, but something surprised me. I saw a rattlesnake in the grass right outside of my door as I was about to get out of my truck. I did what any red blooded man would do....got a shovel and went to work. The snake did not have a chance. If you have never skinned a snake, it is kind of weird as the snake has some reflexes that even without a head it tried to strike you. That is a weird feeling. 20min. later it was skinned and gutted.
Tonight I got to eat it as Brenda had something at school and she thought it was kind of gross. I cooked it up and it tasted...not bad. Kind of freaky looking, but better than the last time I cooked it.
This is what my night looked like. The beer and advrider.com are normal, but the snake was an added benefit.
Finally got a promotion at work. It is about time since I have working the new position for about 5 months free for the company. Boy do they know how to string you along.
