Today [9]

[panais]

Today\tonight (midnight) is Octopus hunting night.

A little cold for diving but a good catch always worth it.

We hunt a rock-octopus,i dont know if you have in your area,is the big\grey color.

Well if tomorrow you dont see me login,that means i found an octopus but it was bigger than me

Well it'll have more arms than you that's for sure but I'm sure you'll have the skills to outwit it.

I hope so.

Today I flew back from a very hot and fly-blown Olympic Dam

And are your arms tired? Welcome back

Today, I am sat in my broom cupboard at work listening to the radio and surfing the net.

I'm in a bit of a pondering mood, and I'd like your opinions on this:

Most people know about the conservation of energy, meaning that matter is not destroyed, merely changed from one form to another. Bearing this in mind, all matter in the known universe must have always existed in one form or another. The question is: Where did it all come from in the first place?

ANSWER : A singularity. What happened before then is a different matter (excuse the pun) entirely

A bit more colourful than the snake we had visit us last night. Probably less poisonous too

Snake?

Snake? Really?

Yep


I was merrily playing the xbox when my GF said "Hey baby, is that a snake?"

I glanced over and a few feet away there it was. Quick little thing it was too. About 40cm long, which doesn't sound like much, but still big enough to deserve respect.

My first thought was to give it a wack, but since I have a touch of the Buddhist in me, I felt it wasn't right just to kill it just for being a snake. Besides I had no idea if was harmless or dangerous.

My snake handling skills are non-existent and my identification about the same, so instead of smacking it, we rang a snake catcher up. I wasn't going to take a 50-50 chance of playing with a potentially deadly snake for my first time.

The catcher turned up, mentioned it was an adult Golden Crowned snake - mildly venomous (not fatal) but painful if bit with a guaranteed hospital trip and managed to eventually snatch him. I'm glad I didn't give him a whack (that's the buddhist in me. Not fair to kill something for simply existing) plus it was in a bad mood and would have bitten given the chance. It was not only quick, but very, very annoyed. He put up quite a fight.

Normally the handler charges about a $100 dollars for removal, but he was a local on his way home and did it for free. The snake got to live, and we didn't have to pay. Win all round. Very nice of the bloke to not charge.

Aside from a few different markings, that type of snake looks very similar to a particular snake that is 100% fatal to humans. I wasn't afraid of it, just not stupid enough to mess with something I wasn't sure about. I kept an eye on it and maintained my distance


(PS - Snakes are extremely uncommon in my area. Especially when found in a living room, slithering around bare feet )

 

[Dinesh]

Wow Patrick, that was very brave of you. If it was me, I'd have ran 10 miles away just by looking at the snake. :haha:

Ha! Its getting warm here again - 39 degrees tommorrow - and the Eastern Brown snakes are back out in force. Snake-catchers charge $155 a call-out, but I keep the spade handy. Its deadly and with a pair of kids about, I'm not taking chances. Apologies to my Buddist and other animal-loving friends

 

[Hopalong X]

While I was living in Louisiana I kept a .44 loaded with snake shot. Quite effective.

When the 3ft. Copperheads are sitting at your door step waiting for you to feed the cat in the morning 6-8 times a year... well let's just say the cats appreciate regaining their stoop.

I also hate to kill anything but this one attacked to me when i was looking for brown mushrooms.

Very poisonous,you have max 1 hour to go on hospital for the antiofiko serum.

He had a lizard in his stomach.

Today, my son-in-law called round with a very belated birthday gift in the form of a 1/72 limited edition model of the de Havilland Sea Vixen FAW 2 in the markings of 899 Squadron embarked in the the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle in 1967.

It was in fact the last naval aircraft I ever worked on and it has immediately become one of my most treasured possessions.

It is number 283 of 750 and apparently has doubled in value since my son-in-law first put his name on the waiting list two years ago - not that I would ever sell it.

 

[boohbah]

what a thoughtful gift andrew, he obviously doesn't refer to you as the F n L, as i do mine

 

[seavixen32]

It is Julian, and I'm very appreciative of his thoughtfulness.

Mind you, I still think that in many cases a boy's brains turns to sawdust when he meets a girl!
