We are on day 115 people! I just saw the little guy move while candling. The suspense is building. The pic below just shows how crammed he is in there now.

Aw geez, Nick. I spose it could have been worse. . . at least you've walked away from it. I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank goodness no one else was involved. I'm trying to remember from my days as the pole engineer at the Phone Co. if we billed the culprit for breaking our pole. I wonder if your insurance would pay for it.

I've got a bad case of the lazies today. Yesterday I wasted the whole afternoon sitting in the house waiting for a phone call from a lady in NorCal who was bringing me a tortoise. She said she'd call when she was about 5 minutes out. Since I don't have a cell phone, I had to stay in the house by the phone. Yesterday I had energy. I operated the weedeater in the morning and was planning to mow in the afternoon after she left. So, the stuff needing mowing is still there, but the oomph to do it is gone. And the gal never showed! When I called her about 3p she said, "Oh, I've been waiting for a phone call from my realtor. I'll call you tomorrow." If that were me, I would have been mortified that I forgot an appointment like that and would have fallen all over myself apologizing. Nope. Not this gal. If, I say IF, she calls me today, I'm going to give her the names of some rescues in NorCal that I know about. I'll be damned if I waste a day waiting for her again. there are enough tortoises in my own area in need of rescue. I don't need to take in any from out of my area.

Good for you! She sounds quite selfish!

Quick question. Is anyone aware of a commercial (reliable) thermostat that controls a cooling element?

Yummy! Last Thursday, when I wasted a morning and drove an hour further then work to check on a tortoise in a humane society, I went to lunch at a place as a child we would go to on Sunday. They make great fish and jacket fries

Why am I banned from running errands? Probably something like this...

Did I tell you that Tuesday night I got to have supper and shower with Jeff? Best part of it was getting my back checked for ticks and washed. ;) Then got home to one of my anniversary redfoots having laid two eggs.
