Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. "I'll go into town for a doctor," the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the only doctor delivering a baby.
"I can't leave," the doctor says. "But here's what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground."
The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony. "What did the doctor say?" the victim cries.
"He says you're gonna die."

Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to the weekend!
It was one heck of a nice day here.
The dogs and I enjoyed every minute we were outside.
I left the door open so the pups could run in and out.
Just try and take a nap with the door oprn and two yappie Chihuahuas watching out the window for any would be trespassers.
Every 5 minutes they go bounding off my chest and out the door.
Well Friday's 65 degrees is giving way to a high of 40 degrees for Saturday.
I won't be leaving the door open.
Have a happy day everyone.
