great news!!!!

I spent today in St Augustine with family, wandering about looking at all the tourist stuff, St George Street and eating lunch and talking! It was a grand day! I'm sunburnt and I have new AWESOME pants and a 2 lb bag of various candy.

Weather was as glorious as it looks in the pic. I even dug out my floppy hat so I did the full-on tourist cosplay!

Speaking of weather, right? It's been a beautiful past few days. With me living in Louisiana October/September is my favorite weather.

I voted early today, no wait, no fuss. I also found out the warning light on the car is just a scheduled "Hey it might need a oil change" but it doesn't, so I figured out how to turn it off myself! After two people told me that it took a qualified mechanic or the dealer to turn it off no less.

So this weekend, I went to the Fire class, people used my pipkin pottery pots to cook in, proving they work perfectly, visited with family there... then sunday went to see family and spend the day in St Augustine, then today got the car info, did laundry, voted and got my info about a costume and am now looking at stilts, because reasons.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a pair of Oakley sunglasses. The positive part being I was able to get them $47 cheaper than what they're listed for due to them having a program for law enforcement/military. I could of likely gotten them a bit cheaper than that off eBay but I have a hard time trusting things like that which so many fake ones being sold. At least now I know I've got an authentic pair.

lol!!!

Three Mystic Potions in one clutch. My dinker gene "Keso" X Yellowbelly had four with both genes. My Keso X Mojave clutch had three with both genes. Proves not allelic for either complex. Oh well, next year, Keso X Keso. Even the Keso news is positive, for a truth seeker.

My AP t8 cage came in 3 weeks earlier than expected.

Normally, I am a rifle hunter. But, since I took up archery, I have decided I prefer it. Lets face it.. Easy apples sitting on a hill waiting to shoot a deer or other critter at 300 plus yards... But bow hunting, makes ya have to earn that freezer filler... Gotta get alot closer... For me..at least 60yards w my bow.

Its called a javelina. They are not hogs or pigs.. They are peccary from south of the border. Some say they are a type of rodent actually.

But yes, we do eat them, they are very good. But, you have to know how to process thm properly.. They are not like hogs and pigs, these guys have a scent gland on their lower back that wreaks badly..if u puncture it in anyway while skinning or let its fur touch the meat, you ruin it. So very nit picky processing, but tastey beasts.

Oh and they are meaner than sin when they feel the need to be..can snap a leg bone in a bite if they get ahold of you.. Their eye sight is horrible.. I have been as close as 15 foot to them while hunting, out in open where any other critter will see you, but as long as you dont move, they dont seem to notice you. And they do have a good sense of smell too.

Javelina are nicknamed "stink pigs" for a good reason.. However, their bodies dnt wreak.. Its just if you mess w that scent gland they have.. Thn the stink is present.

If you look at 1st pic I provided..thr is a lump/hump just above their tail area... Thats the scent gland..its rather large.

They definately could be if provoked. Usually though, they prefer to run like crazy critters given the chance.

These guys are super fun to hunt too. I like getting as close as possible being that I prefer to hunt w a bow and arrow, I have really improved my stalking skills to get me closer to make those shots. Its an adrenaline rush... That ends w meat in the freezer and a nice full belly later.

Crazy little beasts. When we rented up in North Scottsdale a couple years ago we'd have families of them that would wander through the apartment complex on a nightly basis. They're mostly harmless (annoying, sure) when left alone. We just learned to steer clear when taking the dog for a walk in the evenings. Oh the joys of having desert wildlife as neighbors.

Nope. He admitted to it and handed over his insurance.
The video was at a little after midnight so you cannot see who is driving.

I realized both my jumpstart thermostats are now broken (broken to the point of being inaccurate of up to 8~10 degrees F), so I bought a herpstat 2. Now I have a herpstat 1 and a herpstat 2. Goodbye my money. For the record, I've been using the jumpstarts for a year and a half.

If you know you're going to get more than one reptile in the future, just get a herpstat right off the bat. Just do it. Everyone says to just do it, AND IT'S REAL. JUST DO IT. NIKE.

And in other news, my newest hatchling Togetic has now taken 3 F/T meals in a row! SUCCESS.

Awesome. Yes I have an older herpstat 4, but I don't know if it's in my attic or if I may of accidentally moved it to my moms house when I was doing work in the attic. So that'll be fun tracking it down.
