    Hi! I'm _not_ riding right now. I'm patio-building and raising snake babies. I feel like I want to get on my bike again, but the bike shop I like went out of business, and she needs some work done, like mainly re-taping the bars. Blah...
    I got really into competitive shooting, too.

    Hi Nanci nice to see you stopping by. My grand snake has gotten larger but doesn't have much sense.

    Look at my website!! It pretty much tells the story of my 2011 breeding season. I hatched two, well three I guess, really incredible babies. Plus the cutest little kinked baby ever, Krinkle. Krinkle just went to work with me last week so I could x-ray him, just out of curiosity. Three people who have never held a snake before held him. Who could be afraid of a little 7 gram crippled pink snake??

    Fort Tort is out of control. I wonder if I can get a picture of the whole thing. I'll try! I have the Water Garden, and this spring I built a bog garden around two sides of it. I've got my little swimming pool, so I can dive in when I'm having hotflashes (love that...) I've super-expanded the patio, and just finished building a path connecting it to the house.

    You know how Facebook (or The Devil as we call it at cornsnakes.com :-) is rolling out the new profile features next week, Friday maybe, including the Timeline? I discovered that if you become a Facebook developer (super easy, just Google it) you can have the Timeline early. So for a week I've been working on adding stuff to it.

    So, I have about 80 snakes now, counting babies for sale and a lot that are herre on breeding loans. The two pigeons, Dill and Milly. My pitbull Bella. Isabel the bearded dragon. A couple other lizards. Fish and frogs outside.

    S&W .22 in "Urban Cowboy" (cowboy action for people just shooting a .22) and Steel Plate, which is a one on one triple elimination whoever knocks down 10 plates on two racks plus one stop target wins that round. I pretty much love it.

    so what did Krinkle's xray look like? a break or what?
    the majority of your snakes are corn snakes? Who knew they had so many colors!

    That is fun stuff! I shot on the Sheriffs Dept. team back in the day, takes lots of time and effort to "get good" but well worth it.

    well there was one unexpected consquence of my move : my writing
    I used to write on the train trip home(about 45 min). bit harder now that I'm walking (45 min) or taking the bus (1o min with about 10 min of walking).
    Probably need to establish a set time - will be easier as I get more settled (busy filling out furn. lease apps).
    Nanci - great to see you back - same with CC - Hang in there.
    Ps. I wuz evil and changed my avatar - having a pic of rt 66 in the desert while living in Upstate NY didn't make sense
