I'm awake. I have coffee. I have a sandwich. And I have the CDR. It is a good morning indeed
Hope everyone else's morning/day/night goes wonderfully.
hey Bambam, whatever happened to that idea that you had and were waiting on patenting etc? Did anything come of it?

It turns out that someone else had a similar idea. To push the idea any further I would have to hire a patent lawyer to make sure I made the proper references and etc. They are expensive to hire though [emoji2957]. I can't do anything with it for a couple more years while we get our lives straightened out.... So I still can't tell you what it is[emoji57]

Whew! and Br-r-r-r-r!! It was real hard to get out of bed this a.m. Very cold in here. Last night I added another blanket to my bed and I was so warm and toasty in there. Hopefully today I'll get all my tortoises winterized, and then it will be take them in at night and put them out in the morning - the ins and outs of Autumn.

Good afternooning all. I had to do a governor meeting this morning and then drive down to my daughter’s place about 2 hours away with some things she needs urgently.

I am awaiting her return from work so we can go get something to eat and then head home.

The weather is disgusting in the UK at the moment. Torrential rain with many places suffering flooding. It made for a slow journey

Cold in California - Hot in the East Coast. Close to 90 today, 93 tomorrow. Crazy.

Our Persimmon tree is producing some nice fruit. Although we’ve been in drought, thats one area of our garden that we water.

These are about apple size...

How have things been going for you and yours?
We're doing well. The cats, turtles, and bearded dragons have been keeping me busy.

We brought two spotted turtle hatchlings and a baby bearded dragon home with us from the expo in Daytona Beach in August. We're still making adjustments and upgrades to everyone's enclosures.

It’s almost like Y2K here on 1 Oct for the CDR on TFO - are we alright? All here? Happy Tuesday if you made it!

For those who don’t recall the Y2K scare...

The Year 2000 problem, also known as the Y2K problem, the Millennium bug, the Y2K bug, the Y2K glitch, or Y2K, refers to a class of computer bugs related to the formatting and storage of calendar data for dates beginning in the year 2000. Problems were anticipated, and arose, because many programs represented four-digit years with only the final two digits – making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900. The assumption of a twentieth-century date in such programs could cause various errors, such as the incorrect display of dates and the inaccurate ordering of automated dated records or real-time events.
You poor people...hehehe...I still have my shortcut to yak at ya

Awe. What a bummer.

It is uncomfortably warm in my part of Florida. Usually we get at least a hint of a cool spell by the end of September, but it must be running late.

I have been trying to make sure the two bearded dragons get some time outdoors, maybe 30-60 minutes a day. I have to time it carefully, though... Too early, and the sun is still behind the trees, and the mosquitoes are out. Too late into the day, and it's too darn hot. I've started bringing out a water bottle (ice water) for me and a spray bottle (room temperature) for the lizards.

They do like their outside time, even if Indy is on his leash and out little Red Lady is in her screened-in container. The little lady poops more reliably when she gets sunshine time. :) Indy, on the other hand, will probably be getting a shower later this afternoon...

Each of the bearded dragons got a size-appropriate hornworm for dinner last night. It was the first time either one ever ate a hornworm... and the look on Indy's face... It was the very best thing he had ever tasted, and it was gone way too soon. Oh, but he liked it! :D

Whahaha. Poor boy. Now he is going to have to work hard for some hornworm rewards.
