    OT way to avoid buying more snakes

    Well it OT for hte most part but I found a the best way to keep me from buying snakes ( for the next 5-6 years at least) I got a newer truck lol.. I killed a 2003 mazda b series truck in 6 years. It was going to need at least 2k in work. To keep it road ( grass cutting ready).. Sadly that kind of money I don't have all at once to give some garage.. So I spent tuesday looknig at a truck with my cousin a motor head geek) and road around looking.. I end up with a 2007 nissan frontier Se 4x4 that got a crew cab auto tranny and a v6 ( scarly part since it 2x the motor I had in the mazda), I like it a lot outside no mp3 player ( cds) and the steering whhel feels smaller to me.

    The payment put the ideal of buying ( possible even looking at snake purchases) until I get it paid off. IT going to cost me about 40 bucks more than I had figure/planned on a month and my insurance only when up 6 bucks. Now outside of getting it fixed up to my liking ( window vents), seat covers to protect the cloth seats, and the ideal of a K&N intake on it to increase the fuel milage on it. THe car place is sopost to have the trailer hitch installed asap ( since I still need it for grass cutting) but it already got a spray on liner with a bed cover which makes going places with mom since we were limited to dry eather with her wheel chair. SO unless I breed out a bunch of pied and het albinos I got no new snake money.

    Sorry no picture been under the weather, caught a cold while doing fire house calls duringthe north easter last week.

    Re: OT way to avoid buying more snakes

    Should have gotten one of those toyota trucks! Those things can take quite a beating

    I keep myself from buying more snakes by only having room for one snake rack with 6 slots . I promised myself to limit to 6 snakes until I am out of school. 2.5 years left! lol

    Re: OT way to avoid buying more snakes

    lol that all I got left room wise inthe racks. is for 6 snakes. but putting out over 250 a month on a truck will make savign the fund to get something to fill those spots harder. I will only be able to increase my numbers though breeding or if I aquire a new rescue ( which I never really like since it means a person either lost interest or the ablilty to afford such a pet. ) But on the other hand I got the room togo to a show and not be limited to what the weather, and who I can take with me now..

    Re: OT way to avoid buying more snakes

    lol ( not sure if it smart or sad) I still single. I guess consdiering I am disable that a blessing since ( at this time) I know it means I am not passing it along to the next gen. I just know it boring since i got no life lol I sit home too much and talk to the snakes or play WOW. I only had 84k on the old truck in the 6 years I owned it. I did travel more at first when I had it cause I was playing Classic battletech and went up to 100 miles north for a couple games every month or so.

    Love Nissans - that's pretty much all my family has owned for some time now. They last a LONG time if you take care of them. Handle quite nicely too!

    Re: OT way to avoid buying more snakes

    lol I see the mods moved it lol.. but eah a truck payment makes buying snakes a littler harder. i like the truck so far , not been messing with it much since i picked up a cold and spend most mytime coughing and cussing. Been coughing so much my ribenow hurt and it annoying the heck out of me. I wanted to get it ot the fire house and wash and wax it this week so I know there at least one coat of wax on it.
