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.

Blue3quarter: Great Pictures!!!!!!!

The frogs get into that orgy every year but it seems like they are out a little earlier then they should normally be!

Thanks about the pics! I tried to get the best ones to share with everyone!

I will get some pics of it cleaned up. The gun does have some good **** markings on it.

The wife and I have taken the Ig in as a family member. He's been such a nice pet to have! He's kinda like a hairless dog! LOL!

Way too funny. That will get the imagination going for the day. Hey, good ph00 - - thanks.

Not much happening on this day for Scott to report - - or else he was in a hurry. Some things in there that make you scratch your head and see where we are today - - couple very significant things happened back then.

OK, breaky and off to the torture chamber.

Bob

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.
Baffles on top.

Matt, how does the new pet feel about frogs? Maybe a tasty treat and fun to catch.

It looks like what you think it is. It's what the pet store was selling. I wanted a large fake plant in the cage and thats the only style they carried.
