(I apologize if this belongs on a different board)
The wife is out-of-town for the week and I figured, "Hey, what a great time to finish up my arcade machine!" So, I'm down in the basement working away, when I look down...and there's a snake at my feet!!!!
For the briefest of moments, I considered using the circular saw or my router with the t-molding bit. In the end, I opted for distance and a long shovel. Did I mention that I was screaming like a little girl the whole time?
Let this serve as a warning for all BYOACers...snakes are attracted to MAME machines. ;-)
