Title: Howdy - and an Introduction
Post by: MrsSmith on April 25, 2023, 02:50:34 PM: Been a minute since I've been by for a visit, but I see y'all are holding the fort! Catch me up on what you've been up to.

I've invited a good friend to join. He's known to Lennyjoe and Gewehr98 as well, and has signed up with the handle Punch814. Good guy. Old school, career Army, he and his wife live in The Great State of Texas, and he knows his way around a range of tools. I'll let him tell you anything else he wants you hooligans to know.

I won't even request that y'all behave. Let the shenanigans commence.
Welcome Punch814!

I wasn't told we get to choose. When did that happen?

Welcome aboard, Punch814! We could use a few more Texans in our midst.

Also... Welcome Back, MrsSmith!

Post by: zxcvbob on April 25, 2023, 07:25:38 PM: I can't remember Mrs. S., was it big hairy spiders that you didn't like, or the little deadly ones that can hide in your shoe? (or just all of them with eight eyes?) :lol:

Welcome back either way. And welcome to Punch too.

Some of us aren't bothered by 2D spiders. 3D, when I see them before I get too close to them, are cool too. Spiders ON me? GETTHEMOFF!GETTHEMOFF!GETTHEMOFF!GETTHEMOFF!

Apparently, that spider did not like being "boxed up". Would you?
What surprised me was how quickly it could move. It even made some small jumps when the man that unboxed it and was trying to keep it "corralled".
When they held the fangs up with some large tweezers (10"?), the fangs appeared to be about an inch long.
Interesting. =D

I don't believe that's the word I'd have used for what you described.

I kept expecting it to jump at the camera.
