Default 1st time in months

I took the vette out today. While stopped at a light, I felt something brush against my leg. I looked down just in time to see a brown spider the size of my hand go under the dash. Lucky I was stopped or I would have crashed. Spiders really creep me out.

Lived in Sebastian and Vero Beach 1960 to 2007. Brown house spiders are a good thing, old days they were left alone knowing they kept bugs (Roachs) out. Do miss the fishing there.

The problem with a spider is that it will make you hurt yourself, far more than it will ever hurt you.

That's just mean that you were able to take the Vette out yesterday. It's been a cold rainy nasty weekend here. Where the heck is the sunny warm spring weather?
