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

I'm more concerned with the TWO brown recluse spiders we have found in the building now...
Can you say poisonous? |

3" 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  |

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?

work hard, fish hard and die happy!

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. |

Do a google image search on brown recluse and there are a lot of pics of the bites 
I don't think they get 3 inches though...
