Squished bugs
 

Or buggers

I get a lift of squares in today, waybill said 740 lbs...unload it off the truck no prob on the pallet jack....sign the waybill, seeya have a nice day :wave:

Top of loading dock is about 5' higher than shop floor...has about a 50' steel ramp to floor level....yea let's see how hard it feels to move...suuuuure no problem feels fine, should be no big deal...first 10' of ramp yea I got it fiiiiiine...I'm below the pallet jack using my weight to slow it down......then 1/2 way down the ramp it wants to start moving a little faster by itself......rut ro.....I can't stop it no more...rut rooooooo....look back quick and there's only about 20' of ramp left and then 20' of floor before I hit the wall....el squisheroony....whew it keeps going and I'm finally able to stop it just before the wall...lucky... :eek:

Sometimes I'm a doofus, I should have just let it drag down the stupid ramp...... :rolleyes:

Glad you escaped unscathed Salty.......we want you healthy at "Plug Night" so we don't feel bad when we heckle you!:D

How is your new shop working out for you?:confused:

I'm more concerned with the TWO brown recluse spiders we have found in the building now... :eek: :eek:

Can you say poisonous?

yea I know NG, but landlord no wanna pay...wait til someone gets bit... them suckers is 3" across EASY and wicked nasty lookin.

3" :confused: sounds like a wolf spider. A brown recluse is only like 1/2". Oh and so ya know the wolf spiders do bite but at least they ain't venemous. A recluse has a marking on its back that looks like a violin. Thus also called fiddleback spiders. I hate spiders:spidey:

nope definitely both were brown recluse....not wolf's...nasty lookin suckers.....we didn't even know they lived up here til we researched it on the web and found pics of them...they match perfectly.....

damn the spiders!!!

Salty you want me to go squish them spiders for ya :laughs:

last one got a nice cold bath in acetone :eek:

brown recluse spiders....cool. look at the violin shape on their thorax.

WATCH OUT.....they are bad news if you get bitten by one. we are talking necrotzing fascitis here folks. aka flesh eating disease.

I'd post a few pics but they are a little to greusome for the board.

SALTY.......have you had this problem before?

are you serious, new jack?
i think i have one in my home... bleep, bleep, i hate spiders!!!

unfortuantly i am serious. They are found up here, but I think it is rare.

Salty do you get your lumber from somewhere in the south along the east coast?

am i going to die?

guy I know got bit last summer in plymouth. had to have emergency surgery on his thigh. It started off as a small cut then got worse. Once it gets to the bone you've got trouble.:eek:

friend got bitten by one last year it started off like u could barely see it but it started growing and peeling and when all was said and done he had about a 9 inch diameter of dead flesh on his arm was the uglies thing i'd ever seen

Do a google image search on brown recluse and there are a lot of pics of the bites :yak:

I don't think they get 3 inches though...

-spence

A guy at work got bit by one on his calf. Skin started falling off and
it was gross looking.

notaro some day we all will die ! fact of living ! kinda like eating and going to the bathroom . but your young dont think about it !

you got a better chance to get run over by a truck on the beach in Idaho .
