Look Out For SNAKES!!!! Chapter 2
This is a follow up to my snake delima.
The other day after I posted I decided to turn on the radio in the camper real loud & let it play all night & maybe the snake would leave. The next morning my Lab & I went out to check things out. She/we looked things over & decided the snake had given way, so I started back cleaning.
I vacumed the carpets & decided I was gonna shampoo them too. While I was getting the shampooer ready a van pulled up in the driveway and a young man got out. He was a big, strap'n African American young man. Very polite. He asked if he could dimonstrate a vacum/carpet shampooer.
He was a nice guy and said he got paid by the demo so I said "young fella, you showed up at just the right time!" "I was just about to shampoo the carpets in that camper." " You're welcome to give it a shot if you want to."
He got every thing put together and started his demonstration. I have to say the vacum was do'n a darn good job. I had just vacumed & he was get'n all kinds of sand and such out of the carpet.
After a while he wanted to demonstrate the hose attachment. I told his that I hadn't gotten under the couch yet and that there had been mice in the camper and you know what they leave behind. I told him that we could lift the seat (it folds out into a bed) to get to the underneath.
He got over the couch & started lifting up the seat. I was standing behind him asking if he need any help. The next thing I know I hear "SNAAAAKE!!!" & I'm on my butt nearly in the bedroom! I haven't been hit that hard since I played highschool football!!! :eek: This fella's about 6' 1" & about 220# and he jumped back and spun & accidently cought me with a shoulder block that would have made any NFL highlight film!
Needless to say the demonstration was over! I just thought I was afraid of snakes! This poor fella was terrified! :eek:
I felt so bad I bought the darn vacum cleaner; cost me $1300 bucks! :(
I waited until the next morning when it was cool (so he couldn't move too fast) and went out in the camper & got him out before he cost me anymore money!
Now I really hate snakes! :mad:
