Itsy Bitsy Spider
I dont use my truck alot, mostly for the reasons one buys a truck, hauling stuff around. So its been maybe a couple weeks since I used it last. Today I had to haul some furniture over to a friends house, so went out & got in the truck & cranked it up.
What follows is a mix of actions & my thoughts as it was occurring. You can figure which is which....
Dang! A belt is squealing. I hate squealy belts. Time for a squirt of WD40 on the noise maker.
I get out of the truck and lift the hood to see exactly which belt it was. Hmm...theres a big spider web in the front-right of the engine compartment. I wonder what kind it is - looking - looking - there it is...HOLY MOTHER OF TOAST its a black widow. in my truck. just setting there with its hourglass shining up at me. This truck is not big enough for the both of us - you have to die.
What to kill it with? A stick - a rock? No. Into the garage - I know, WD40...no you idiot, that wouldnt kill it, just make it slippery. Ahah! Spider spray - yes, yes indeed.
Back out to the truck and give her a few good shots of it. She looks like she is drunk as she moves and quickly goes out of site. Great, I dont know if she will die or not. Anyways, grab a stick & take the web out. While Im doing this - oh joy, theres an egg sack - two egg sacks.
I pull them out and squish them with the stick. Theyre empty, that isnt good. Back to the truck to investigate, sure enough it wasnt good. There they were, down by the headlights looked like at least a hundred little black widows crawling around. Time to die babies.
I almost emptied the rest of the can of spider spray on them & watched for another 15 minutes or so to catch any stragglers & sprayed them. I sure hope I got them all. Just thinking about driving the truck now gives me the heebie jeebies. I hope I can get over that.
So how has your day been going?

Good job Angel! Seems they do scare some people to death almost.
Seebo, it surely wasnt the bright spot in my day hehe.
Normally I would have just squished my widow, but she was hanging on the web where it would been near impossible. Its just as well I used the spray, I couldnt have squished all the babies with a stick.

All day I kept wondering "who invented liquid soap, and why?"
Also the song fragment "Chickity China the Chinese Chicken, have a drumstick and your brain stops ticking" is stuck in my head.
I like milk.

My daughter's always yelling, "Mom, a spider!" When I tell her to step on it, she screams "nooooooooooooooooo!". She's 19! Heh!
Well Hizzie, at least you saw them before you drove the truck. I was bitten by a black widow while driving my car! It was a few years ago. I felt the bite, slapped my leg, and thought I had killed whatever bit me. I had on jeans and it must have crawled up my leg but I'll never know how that happened without me feeling it. Anyway, I went to the closest place I could get to which happened to be a K-Mart, ran to the restroom and dropped the jeans. Yep, squashed black-widow. I went to the pharmacy to ask for help and passed out. By the time I got to the hospital in the ambulance it was really too late to do anything about it, but I recovered quite nicely. They figured I may have some immunity built up due to the water-moccasin bite from a few months earlier. LOL!

Dang Gayle! That sounds like no fun at all, I sure am glad I saw them before the little $&^#^s infested the cab of the truck.
You were bit by a moc too?? You should be invincible now if you lived through all that!
