Today, finaly, I decided to flake the spin.

It had taken a fresh water bath in a spare bathroom after LBRW, then dried over the shower curtain for a long while.

I took the spin downstairs to the living room and started to run the tapes and then I felt a needle stick into my (second big) toe.

WTF I thought? It felt as though I sliced my toe on a piece of glass (don't ask me how I know that feeling) and jumped back...

Turns out a scorpian was in the folds and got me.

The little devil (now DOA)...

It has been 11 hours and I still can"t feel my toe. But, I can feel my knee now so improvments are happaning.

What about you?

Shit Greg....that sucks.  You ok?

I damn near sat on one in the bathtub when I was 5. My brother yelled out. Probably saved my life....he did that more an once.

Hope you're in the mend.

Oh yeah...almost stepped on a Viper last week....6' diamondback rattler hiding under the tack shed....scared the living crap outta me.  Caught it and tossed it up the hill by the big oaks.

Gumby (the kite) is fine!

My toe still isn't (two days later).

Once a week? Crap!
