Saturday busy-ness

Early this morning, we headed outside to check on the fowl and feed them. We were surprised by a black snake in with some of the quails. He had already killed three of the birds by constricting around them and had one of them in his grip, along with some tell-tale feathers sticking out of his mouth.

Son got a heavy glove on and reached in to get the varmint, He got a good grip right behind its head and hauled it out of the cage., then killed it by removing its head. We don't normally kill snakes around here unless they are poisonous, but this guy would have probably just come back and killed more of the quail, so he had to go.

I came back inside to find a missed call and a text message on my phone from one of the managers at work. It seems that it was super busy, she was the only manager there besides our supervisor, and she needed me to come in early. I answered the text and got ready, then headed in to work. I really wasn't all that early, though. Only about 30 minutes. But I guess it helped having another pair of hands to take care of some things.

Our supervisor was on the assembly table, making breakfast sandwiches, and others were pulling double duty throughout the morning. I suppose some employees decided it would be ok to take Saturday off. It's not -- not when you're scheduled to work!

I headed home after work, stopping to get some gas in my truck. When I got here, Son showed me that he had skinned the snake and rolled the skin up, and put it in the freezer. He listed it for free on a free site. It may be that someone will want to cure it.

He went to do some business with some folks. He worked on their i-devices, which is what he does to make a little money.

I got laundry done for the day and hung it out. I tidied up the kitchen a bit and we really just snacked around on fruit, cheese and crackers, and iced tea for our evening meal today.
