What did you accomplish today?

[GreatwhiteNorth]

We wore them and water socks on the beach on Guam, the dead reef rocks (they might have been volcanic) were extremely sharp.

Do the black spined (aka long spined) urchins live in Guam? They were all over the place in S Fla & are hell to even touch !

Olukai flip flops are great.

I'm from southwest MO, spent a *lot* of time in the woods, and never had a problem with copperheads.
They are great for rodent control and try to avoid humans whenever possible.

Water moccasins are territorial and will stand their ground. They are much more likely to give a "wet" bite, and their venom is more toxic than copperhead.

The pictured dead one crawled into an inhabited tent on a picket line during a work stoppage right after I retired.

He was DOA, the union workers just said no.

No, but the purple ones will mess you up. We did a night dive off the beach and there weren't any when we walked out, but on the way back in they were everywhere. I was worn out from the dive and ended up stepping on a couple. They went right through my water socks into my feet. I think we spent a month digging the spine pieces out of my feet.

Those look nice, but only one size???

Just the size I chose, search Scott Hawaii, Edit: I've had the ones I have on for 5 or 6 years, and they still have good soles.

Ahh... I'm a little slow.

They have size 14! I bet they fit...

It is impossible to dig out the long spines - if you get a grip on them with tweezers the spines either crush or break off & they work themselves deeper.
Freakin Miserable!

Dump vinegar on the busted off ends & hobble around for a couple of weeks.

Pretty much what I did, we ended up crushing them. Because I had the water socks on they weren't that deep, but they were in there. Soaking in warm salt water seemed to help...lol.

This is what that lava reef can do to you when you aren’t careful where and when you snorkel on the Kona side of the big island

Pretty cool shit. I no longer have that picture because of fire but i posted it here so was able to look it up.

Damn that’s savage!!!

 

[Laughing Grass]

Pretty cold day anywhere. Lol

-14°C/7°F when I walked the dog this morning, we didn't make it very far lol. I'm terrified to see what January is going to bring.

 

[tyler.durden]

I would probably rather deal with anything other than a snake. Any snake.. I’m scared for @Aeroknow ‘s safety...

 

[Aeroknow]

@jerryb73 did this movie scare you when you were a kid? I remember it always being on tv around halloween?

These are my brand of flip flops. They are uniquely valuable and worth every penny. They carry thirst quenching technology in the sole.

 

[Metasynth]

Can’t do it, flip flops with the thong in between the toe. It makes me wanna cut my feet off.

I’m more of a slides kinda guy.

Averages 30c here in January I’ll be thinking of you when I’m walking my dog at the beach

Dug and levelled a portion of my 60 foot polytunnel. I'll be planting an orchard of fig trees hopefully by next year
