That’s a pretty one. Looks like it was pretty recent as far as shedding its skin. How did you get it to pose? One thing that always amazes me is how bad the camo pattern is but how well it works. If that works then anything multicolored in natural tones will work.Haven’t had some red hot chicharrones in a long time. Guarantee as of 8pm tonight I’ll have a bag and a cold brew on the deck.
Love summertime but because of all the rain here, 20 inches in the last five weeks, I’m getting a lot of unwanted guests.
This was on the front porch the other night.

Have my S&W pre model 10, shown with period correct holster, loaded with CCI rat shot. Very effective at 5 feet. So far I’m six for eight. Five copperheads and one moccasin. Couldn’t get a clear shot at one copperhead and another bolted under the fence and into the creek before I could slap leather.

Forgot to add: what's a BBQ without a bit a rifle shooting afterwards? And, since AF has decided to carry his 66, I might as well break mine out too:

No, but I have got a cast iron skillet glowing and tossed in a steak. Sear it 30 seconds per side and season it afterwards. Super rare but was decent. Not good enough to do it again.sometime, im going to try tossing some steaks directly on the coals. I have heard people say that makes the best steaks.
Has anyone ever tried that?
Sure , I ve been wanting to handle one of those.Mmm. We doing long guns too ? Alrighty... how about a stainless/walnut Mossberg 464 in .30-30 (dont have one.... yet) ?
I see your 66
And raise you 94

If it’s a we’re also gonna do some shooting.
This one in an old IPSC era Milt Sparks rig. Wilson Master Grade 130. About 1988. Not that flashy, unless you know what it is.

I apologize. I left out food. Thick cut Ribeye (The greatest cut of steak ever). Just salt and pepper. Maybe a little fresh ground horseradish on the side.
Sweet Tea. Real Sweet tea. The way old folks made it. Almost syrupy.
And, a nice Bourbon in the eve. Knob Creek. Buffalo Trace. Nothing to extravagant. Just a little ice.
Yes. Best effect seems to be with al-hardwood "chunk" charcoal (for not lifting ash off).Has anyone ever tried that?
20 inches in the last five weeks,
Dunno, Brazos County has had a wet year so far, so time can blur.Think you're a little off on your weeks count

So, we clearly need a BBQ []crazy year for sure.
Your right I left out the four weeks in May when we had 13 inches. June we had just under four inches so far this month almost five inches in including the 1/2 inch we received last night. For the month of July I've had a pop up heat related shower every day this week and three last week. If you are still living in that county east of me I would be surprised if your didn't exceed what we have had here. You and surrounding counties had some serious rain a few weeks ago. Has that been keeping you from you local outdoor range?Think you're a little off on your weeks count...
seems like we are at 12+ weeks now..
My roof needed replacing.. Two months and two weeks for my roof to be replaced completely because of rain. (started June 7 and finished yesterday!!) Roofer said he is 30 jobs behind due to weather.. crazy year for sure.
Now we're talking!And for black powder guns, in deference to our host Armored farmer's keen interest and love of them, my Colt Model 1860 and my home built Traditions Hawken style rifle.
