Used to have a pretty good CB setup in my old truck. On a good skip I could easily hit the lower 48 and once I chatted with a guy in Austrailia from my driveway...

Got a few recent pictures to share.
Finally got the Iguana habitat finished. You can see Ulysess the dragon showing off in the pictures.


The Dragon showing off on top of his habitat before I moved him into it. He's a ham when it comes to pictures!



Here is why we rescued the Iguana. He has a bum foot and was neglected but is doing very well now.

Here is my Pete 379 model I have been working on for a while. The truck has stacks, visor, deck plate, rear full fenders, and polished hood fenders.

Hmmm, sounds like you and chaikwa went to the same school with his "who me!??" protests.
Beware the frogs!! Starting soon in your area they get orgy on their minds and can be quite dangerous.
It is neat stuff. I live on one of the tallest hills in our area by Cook Inlet so I don’t know why I haven’t put up an antenna and gotten a good unit to play with. Oh, that’s right, good radios are expensive. beer-radio-beer-radio-beer rats, beer won again.

Thanks Jeff! The "Great Man" really does describe him! Not to brag but he has done more in his life than most dream about. WW2 vet, married a german girl he met over in europe during the war, raised to daughters to be good people, worked 30 yrs at the steel mill, also worked for the sewer district of his town and set the town up with its first sewer systems, and he also developed a grease trap/ seperator for resturants to use so the waste grease doesn't go into the sewebut would be efficient still. His idea is still in use today too but never wanted any credit for it. He was a good role model to have growing up.
Matt, how does the new pet feel about frogs? Maybe a tasty treat and fun to catch.
