Day 14 -- aaaggghhh!

I am squatted down near my tubes when Mason, the get'er done and fix it, irreplaceable, on site, guy, says something to the effect of, "don't turn your head, just stand up slowly and walk away." hmmm. I trust him and do as he says. Next to where I was squatting, slithering ever closer about to slide under the wood pallet, AND INTO MY BLACK TUBES, A HUGE BLACK (LIKE MY TUBES) RAT SNAKE!!!! aaaaggh. The girl factor comes back into play. And to think I have been laying on the ground and wiggling up into the interior of my piece to sew on my back, HEAD FIRST... aaaagggghhhhhh!
