Orb weaver. That one has 6 1/2 legs.
Its actually called Yellow Garden Spider. We have plenty of Orb Weavers here as well. They make some amazing webs at night and take the web down in the morning.

Weather was super cool today and was going to put something away in the shed. Which normally this time of year is about 150* so I just toss whatever I was going to put in there. However, with it cooler figured I'd organize it a bit so I don't have much work in the winter. Haven't had this ski out in years but figured I'd see if I could get it going. Took the battery out of the lawn mower, went and got some premium gas(it has a high compression head and other work I've done to it, so it takes premium), and it fired right up! I ordered a gallon of oil for it, it's premix and gat dayum has that shit gotten expensive. $70 for a gallon!! It'll burn through that gallon in no time too. Anyways I ordered new registration for it. Hopefully that'll get me going on riding it more.

I haven't had issues with the stock crap tires, but there was a spot that looked like the outer layer was starting to separate from the tread. Maybe after a pothole or something. Anywho figured 4k miles out of the stock crap tires was enough. Goodyears going on as we speak. Truck also needed tires so today is a kick in the dick as far as cost goes.

I had a 97 Spx (same ski different name). As I recall it topped out at around 55 mph, got there quick and was very responsive. Only had two gauges though, gas and maybe trim. I wish I still had it.
