Installed 43 inch Frame TV today. Pretty slick.

Was that your first? I have a 43" going in next Thursday. We've done a handful of frames already. I HATE Samsung but have to admit the frame is pretty cool

Ditto, they sell themselves. I sell at least 1 with every project.
I love supporting product that supports me!

As I opened the outside demarcation box to look for Comcast signal issues, I noticed a snake slithering within. Although he was moving very slowly, I moved very quickly. The homeowner was next-door in the garage so I summoned him, but as we returned to view him the tip of his tail disappeared down a 2” conduit.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

Looks awesome. I would have a new matching frame made for the artwork. #OCD

Snakes are just as anxious to avoid contact with humans as we are to avoid them.

It would be interesting to shoot down a conduit. Where is the other end of that conduit?

One day I was walking through the store's basement and I noticed black power cord at an unexpected location -- then I noticed that it moved! I ignored it for a few minutes and it disappeared.

There was an abandon restaurant next door and I assume that the snake was cleaning out the mice. Later I found out that a girl upstairs once had a black snake that disappeared. There were various other sightings in the complex. I didn't mind that the snake appeared to have free run of the complex. Prior to its arrival we had a few problems with mice, but these problems suddenly disappeared.

When i was a teenager i worked at a hotdog stand for a while. I bought a 2' long ball python from a guy who met me at the restaurant to make the deal. He brought it in a cardboard box. I put it in the basement and finished my shift. When i went down to get it..no snake! It crawled out and i couldn't find it.

Fast forward 3 months...my boss (70 year old guy) shows up to open the store. He grabs the mop and out comes the now 4' ball python! Almost gave him a heart attack. 3 months of mousing doubled his size.

Think of it from the poor mouse's perspective. The mouse handbook says "find a nice restaurant. It will be warm, protected from cats, and there are plenty of food scraps. This is paradise." Mr. 2' can follow the mice into their den. It's not fair.

I thought about it later. Could he have made a U-turn somewhere down there? Or can they slither in reverse gear?

If it can reach a junction box that has enough room and the conduit was more than 2x it's body width, then yes I would think so.

Doing a search results in MANY different opinions if a snake can move backwards or not. Didn't find any absolute credible answers, just lots of contradictions. I can't remember if I have ever seen a snake actually 'move' backwards before, so I can't say. Many people were calling the fact that a snake can 'pull back' the front half of it's body, as moving backwards. But that is not correct. That is just pulling it's front half back, then moving in a different direction - forward.

Doesn't politicians going back on the word prove snakes can go backwards?
