What kind of snake is this?

I, like brody hate snakes more than anything in the world. I avoid them as much as possible and will let one out in the wild have all the room it needs, but when snakes get near domiciles I do go straight for the shovel. I found a rattle snake around the shop at work one day and engaged in a 45 minute death cage match with the thing that ended up with me moving a half dozen utility vehicles and 4 or 5 pallets of fertilizer before I finally ended up in a 4' X 4' area where I managed to turn him to goo. I do have some regrets about hacking at him so hard that I chipped up chunks of concrete, but I also knew that if I left work that night knowing that there MIGHT be a snake in the shop I would have had to quit my job. To be quite frank, I cant even deal with a 12" water snake, but back to the original question; it looks like what I would call a blow snake, although most everyone I've ever encountered has been much bigger than 2'.
