The boys have been wanting me to post these pix and story of the rattlesnake we encountered over Memorial weekend. He came swimming up to our houseboat and tried to climb up the rope we had the boat tied up with. Irv
(our friend who owns the houseboat - who is a bit crazy I might add) grabbed a metal steak and knife and killed it. Ugghh. Well it didn't end there, he decided he'd have it for dinner. So he skinned, bbq'd it and ate it!!!
Snake skin salted and drying - Irv says he's gonna make a belt or a headband with it.
Cleaned and ready for spices. When it was laying here, you could walk by and say "aaahhh" and it would rise it's head up and try to shake it's tail in defense mode. WEIRD!
Would you care for a brat, hot dog or RATTLESNAKE?
Crazy Irv, enjoying his dinner. Oh, Cooper also would like to add, Irv stood up and surfed down the slide from the top of the houseboat and dropped in the water. (What a great roll model for our kids! - I guess he won't be babysitting anytime soon)

Oh yuck! I would never want to see my dinner still trying to attack me while on the grill. I'm somewhat enthusiastic about trying new foods, but not to this extent!
Oh delicious RAT-TLER still moving...Irv is probably still trying to digest that snake. Irv is a lot of fun though and I am positive, amusing the crowd.
Cooper and Cameron, you should have asked for a taste..never know..it may taste better than buttered bread..smile.
