The last minute fishing trip, and a really BIG spider.

[Darth-Baiter]

Ahhh, nothing like coming home under the gentle glow of a celebratory scotch on the rocks and having a friend text, “hey, let’s check out Lake __”

 

okay!  Cleared it with my wife, and I start loading up gear for an early am (not that early) liftoff.  I went into the pantry to grab food bars, and I see it. Right behind my food processor.  Legs!  1-8! Legs.  It was a spider about 2”in diameter.  Being a normal human, I rip off about 5 sheets of garage paper towels, and put on gloves.  (Don’t judge).  I just touch the food prices , and BLINK!  The spider disappeared.  So fast.  Krap-uck. I pull out the processor to move the box behind it and whammmmm.  The spider ran straight for me!    As it veered to the left I hit it way too hard. Haha.  I can’t even ID the thing.   That thing was fast!
 

I swear, I almost cancelled the fishing trip.  Hahaha. But I didn’t.  I’m going. But Spiders.  Why did it have to be a spider?  
 

last minute trips are the worst.  I stopped packing to clean my pants…now I have to quickly finish up. Don’t let me forget my paddle. Hehe. 
 

im okay with a goose egg skunk today - because I survived.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

We’ve had an unusually frequent number of pretty large rattlesnakes appear around neighborhoods close to us. Haven’t personally run in to one, but I could easily deal with that..........now spiders are another thing. I hate spiders! They usually get the sole!
