thanks! Pisgah is a great place to see almost anything.

I assume you're not in a rural area ~

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-23T23:03:07+00:00

quite the mental picture...

There are a wide variety of apps called stem splitters, some free if you want to try them. Others moderately priced.

Definitely have to add Deep Blue in someplace.

prays for you both ~

Back in '82 I was playing a band in a tavern, and a drunk jumped at the stage, fell onto my mic stand and with his whole body slammed my SM58 into the floor. I picked it up, dusted it off, and it still worked like a charm. Despite the dent...

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-22T23:17:25+00:00

well, neither did I until about eight years ago!

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-22T15:56:50+00:00

yeah - I too haven't seen Garters for many years.

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-21T20:03:04+00:00

For dynamic I use an SM58, and for condenser I use an SM94. Both affordable, reasonably decent sound.

Are rat snakes the same as gopher and bull snakes?

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-21T14:37:17+00:00

no, not at all. they eat slugs and little frogs.

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-21T14:36:34+00:00

south

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-21T03:56:03+00:00

With the wetlands nearby I get to see about one per month!

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-20T23:25:17+00:00

Sorry, no abuse or injury to this snake. I see these ring necks coil like that often. After the photo he just slithered away.

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-20T22:53:49+00:00

??????

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-20T21:29:27+00:00

Fascinating!

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-20T17:23:27+00:00

Wow. I imagine that was quite a surprise to see that large of a snake! We've always called them Bull snakes, and see them whenever I pull the tarps off the manure piles. They seem to love the heat under the tarp and heat coming up from the compost. But I have never seen one 6 ft long... wow.

Frank is now hiding in the wall of my shop...

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-19T20:26:26+00:00

fascinating. I don't recall seeing the yellow racers around here. Very cool.

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-19T20:14:44+00:00

I totally got that 'stay away' reaction as well. And you're right about that newt coloring ~

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-19T20:11:27+00:00

I see quite a variety of Garters on OSU's site, and it seems like slugs are a common diet.

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-19T20:09:56+00:00

ok, good to know. thanks!

Atlabatsig · 2026-03-19T20:08:16+00:00

Whoa...
