A snake I caught

The last few weeks I have been clearing the land at my house.  Yesterday being a cold day I looked down and saw something that look alive curled up at the base of a tree I was cutting down.  As you can see, I did catch something.  A small snake.  Yes, “should” not have messed with it, but if I did not move it, it would have been likely to have gotten me later when I was not looking as closely.  I took a ‘Y’ stick and caught it behind the head and escorted it off to the land next to me.  I hope it does not come back.  Not sure what it was.  It’s tail kinda looked like a ratter but it did not act like one.  Ah well.  It is gone now.

So here I am, 36,000 miles later and I still love my lil truck.  It’s mpg might only be 24, but at least I know there is very little that can hurt her.
