    Hey all,

    Thanks for all the kind thoughts and advice. I don’t know why I get this way but it sucks. I moved here almost 6 years ago to better myself and my “friends” from Tucson really dropped me for the most part, except for one. I have a hard time making friends and have made a few here but nothing real solid.

    I am willing to hang out pretty much whenever Bart , you and I get along well I think. You seem to have a lot of knowledge concerning things that interest me. I always work Sundays unless it’s far enough in advance then I can schedule it off. It depends on what kind of uncomfortable you’re talking about by the way.

    Kinda crazy going to work too because I just got employee of the month and some of the people who have called me friend act like I’m some high and mighty jerk off all of the sudden. So I’ts no fun going to work.

    Rut Rut Rut, stuck in a Rut.

    Clint, Bart, Beau... maybe we should set a date for that Elko camping trip - it would be good to look forward to getting away for a bit! It would also instilll some motivation, stepping out of the ho-hum boring norm. Money is tight for me too, man... but we don't want to turn into Jack from "The Shining" - gots to have some play time!!! With Bart's imagination and a few brews and a couple VX's in the desert, I am sure we could come up with some ridiculous short film of some sort (The Hills Have Eyes 3?)! So what say you guys; should we see how many others we can round up for a gun shooting, sanity saving, beer boozing, moving making, VX good time, camping trip? Or just plan on keeping it small? Ideas, schedules?! New thread? Let's do this!

    Bart! I'll sell you a Rubber Boa...leave the wild ones alone. You should see my Madagascan gecko collection. Ever see those GIANT Japanese salamanders? Back in Pa., twice, I found Hellbenders, near York, in the Susquehanna...big Sallyies. This was more than a few years ago..

    So recently I have been getting down on myself again. I have realized something over the last few months. I grew up with two guys that were brothers. The older brother had friends and we all became kind of a crew, brothers really. I don’t have that since I moved here. It has been really hard not having that group atmosphere to be around like I am used to but I am getting there.

    Bart, I still am interested in taking you up on those offers once all your house stuff is handled. I might be able to get that canoe I showed you and that will help me to get out some more.

    Justin, look forward to having a few brews with you in Moab. Are you camping in our group area?

    The beer statement goes for those of you I will be seeing in Moab, I can’t wait.

    I just re-read this thread and already feel better and wanted to thank you all again.

    Thanks again

    Clint

    You have Rubber Boas? I have no intentions of capturing or collecting. I simply would like to see them in their habitat and take some nice photos. From what I hear, the best way to find rubber boas is to take night drives along back roads. So I need to get my Hellas mounted soon.

    And yeah, Hellbenders are amazing...but I have never seen one in the wild.

    I am 100% down for a nice camping trip meetup. My only issue is that I have like NO vacation time left this year. It really chaps my @ss. But, I would be willing to do a long weekend or something before the end of the year.

    I'll see what my schedule is like....

    I am talking about the wearing a gas mask and NBC suit, sweating and carrying a rifle kind of uncomfortable.

    If you want to go shooting soon, lets make a plan. I would like to check out that spot east of Reno sometime.

    Sounds good. I will try to give you a call later this week. The mother-in-law is in town until Friday, so I will be pretty swamped until then. And now that I think of it, I really need to buy some 7.62x39....

    Wait till just before dark, (twilight, call it) just after rain...particularly in the spring, when they're moving around to breed. They come out for the warmth in the asphalt. When we first came to Florida, I moved here with a good sized reptile collection, and was messing around with breeding. In '93, we started "Rephibia" a reptile shop. The biz took off, I aquired different permits and licenses, and in five years, was handling everything from big cats, Lemurs(still got 'em) and Binturangs, to Boas and Crocodile Monitors. I still have Kookaburras in the back yard(the neighbors actually love the crazy calls they make...loudly...like a Tarzan movie. Our thing was always captive breeding...particularly the endangered stuff. We sold very few imports. Now I have stuff in several zoos. In 2002 we sold the biz...it's still running strong, but as more of a pet store these days( the new owner doesn't like the venemous stuff, and has no permits or interest for the exotic guys) I do a certain amount of breeding still. But Flagler Collision is taking up most of my time now. I have a real talent for making hobbies into livings Any animal questions you have, I can probably answer. Who else do you know that has been bitten by 300 species of wildlife and loves them all the more. I've some pretty impressive scars...everywhere Wayne
