[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 806756, member: 14119"] I can almost picture your mouse dance. Always the last few bales in the stack were the worst. I may post a movie of one of our dogs scurrying about looking for mice in just this situation. You may also connect with my wife in her deep and everlasting hatred of rattlesnakes. Every one she sees she is committed to killing. A few years ago when she was driving our old Suburban up the very winding road to the valley where we live she spotted a rattler on the road and she went into the kill mode. I had taught her that if you either tap your brakes or step on the throttle when you run over the snake it tears them up worse and you get a more sure kill. This time she slowed down and then when the rear wheels were about to cross the snake she jammed the throttle to the floor. The Suburban shot forward but when she let off on the throttle it stuck to the floor. She was really gaining speed at this point and wasn't thinking about the key or shifting into neutral. She was just trying to keep the car on the road. Soon it hit her and she turned the key off and stopped. I thought that by now she would have forgotten the snake but no she turned around and went clear back down to where the snake was to make sure she had a kill. Luckily the snake was mangled and she felt all puffed up. I don't know anyone who sees more rattlers in more odd places than she does. They just seem to gravitate to wherever she is. [/QUOTE]
