Sunday evening found Duke, myself and brother Daniel sitting on the front porch. \u00a0We walked to big barn and looked at a grapple bucket. \u00a0We then meandered back to the front porch. \u00a0As usual, Duke was walking behind us, in no hurry whatsoever. \u00a0I was already sitting down when Duke hollered, “Dad, bring me a .22.”<\/p>\n
“For what?” I hollered. \u00a0He replied, “There is a rattlesnake under this bush.”<\/p>\n
I ran towards the carport to grab a baseball bat. \u00a0But wait! \u00a0There on the front porch was a rack of antique croquet mallets. \u00a0Hunh?! \u00a0I’ve never done that before flashed through my mind as I grabbed one.<\/p>\n
Daniel laughed when he saw me coming with a croquet mallet. \u00a0Duke shook his head. \u00a0Daniel told me that I couldn’t kill it with that weapon. \u00a0HAAA!! I beg to differ. \u00a0I did kill that rattlesnake with a croquet mallet. \u00a0Now, it was not a big snake, maybe 15″ long with 3 buttons. \u00a0But, it was still a rattlesnake and it is still dead.<\/p>\n
Tammy and I traveled to TX this weekend and attended the Helms wether sale. \u00a0Sale went well. \u00a0Food was excellent. \u00a0Great group of people. \u00a0We even spent the night in the vintage Hotel Turkey.<\/p>\n
School starts this week. \u00a0Have a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
