Rattlesnake in the Box

Oma's Air Conditioner broke during a heat wave.  Of course it was last weekend while Oma and Opa were watching Reef Indy.  Mom and Dad were enjoying their Honeymoon Cruise. The repair guy arrived promptly on Tuesday and goes outside to fix our unit.

I say "be careful of rattlesnakes." He comes back half a minute later and says, "You weren't kidding."

Sadly we had to kill this beauty.  This big snake was enjoying the cool of the outside condenser. He did not make any noise at all!  Look at all those pretty rattles though.
