It Had To Happen

STUPID ME

The other day as I was getting out of the Cobra (in shorts), I had one of those Senior Moments (I'm entitled now that I'm 60) and,
OUCH - SNAKE BITE TO THE LEFT LEG!
Only about 2"X 3," doesn't hurt, but sure looks ugly. Funny thing is that I didn't burn any hair.
Weather in south Florida has been perfect for Cobra crusing.
Now, where did I put the keys?

Do the senior moments ever repeat? Or is one snakebite enough to not forget again?

Nope unfortunantly it will happen again.

Terry,

A good burn will not go away for years.

A little reminder for you.

A very good friend got down to adjust his front shock and burnt his fore head on the front pipe every one thought it funny except him. he also was fueling up at a gas station and when he went to get in he sliped in the water that was on the ground and pinned his leg against the pipe now that was a bad burn it took 6 months to heal.
i am still working on a design that will not burn legs and other parts of snake owners .
Oh and one other another friend got home and his german shepard was happy to see him and licked the side pipe and promptly dissapeared into the distance yellping . i really feel for the dog as he didnt know any better but we all do !!!
I have some veryclose calls but no burns yet!!
