I am thinking of adding the word not to this title. I believe in truth in advertising

Yeah all the mods seemed to think the worst, but I think it is about how I push limits, not so much the title itself. Naked means many things. There is a local cleaning company called "naked clean" and of course being a man now, having grown up in the 60's as a boy, it makes me think of attractive women coming to my house and cleaning the place, while 'naked'. I suppose the woman's version of this would be 'naked pool services' or 'naked tennis'. Anyhow, naked is about more than clothes, yeah? It's, to 'me' about being a bit less clothed in political correctness, or posting an image where my tools are all laying around. Now I got to think dmmj had the wrong idea about what I mean with my "tools". I mean leaving the hammer or saw on the concrete floor as I take a picture of the nighthouse build. Or maybe there is some feces in the nighthouse when I take a picture of Darth. Those are practical images for a point, they are naked, not clothed in the idea that no tortoise feces is on the ground for more than three minutes.

Frankly Yvonne keeps her yards more clean than anyone I know, at least for those that don't have a keeper staff.

Naked is the elaborate, perhaps boring, narrative you are reading right now, explaining what I mean. It might not always be pretty or desirable.

That's why the first post has that John Street quote. No matter...

Funny to think about, the building where my father worked while I was young had several dozen unfolded images of naked woman, and an annualized poll of which was best. It was re-tallied every year as a whole new suite of unfolded pictures were added. Must have been over 60 of them by the time the company moved to another building. More funny was that female employees voted too, did not seem offended, and would engage me in conversation if I thought they were/are pretty as any of the models in the photos. It's a different sensibility now.

Look at the temp. She came out of a 70F nighthouse to eat, the sun will hit in about an hour from when the photo was taken this morning warming them to feeling hot to the touch. I hope we will not have an egg shutdown due to the move from Clovis to San Diego, and the eagerness to eat is all about being able to lay. Darth sure has kept up his part of the deal. I've gotten on my hands and knees to get an intimate moment view of the romance they have. He has completed mating with his maleness stuff just fine.

Judging from the scrapes on her carapace, he's hard at it! I was worried he would find his new lack-of-a-hip-joint too painful to give it the old college try.

I don't think he is in any pain, or if there is a sensation when walking he does not consider it pain anymore. At this point it might be in his memory, for what that may be, as the way it has always been. I am beginning to think Phae likes the palm frond forest as it is where she can evade him.

When I spy on them in the night house they are most frequently head down and sleeping. Sometimes though they are head up and looking around, throat pumping air, and seem to be liking life. Darth does not seem to 'go for it' in the nighthouse. He's a wide open spaces kind of male tortoise, a nudist at heart no doubt. Hmmm maybe should have been "Live Naked Tortoises".

Last night all three knuckleheads were out in the palm frond forest, it got down to 47 overnight in my backyard, I don't want to see if that is a tolerable temp, besides forecasting is not that precise, and I'm not inclined to set up a temp alarm for the conditions in the backyard. I lowered the nighthouse temp a bit to 68 to 70F. It had been going up to 75F, maybe too high for them to want to retire for the night at? They eat about 80% of what I think of as their maximum daily intake right now, I don't want them to get too cold with a gut load of food. I hope this slightly lower temp will prompt them into the nighthouse on their own, if that is even a factor going on inside their decision making process, as it may be.

Well, you're much more scientific at it than I was. The night house thing is the only reason I'm glad they now live with you. Every night (with the exception of summer nights) I would have to tote a 65lb tortoise and a 50lb tortoise into their shed. Neither one of the girls ever went in on their own. It got so bad that I finally invested in a tortoise buggy to save my back:

The only reason I think I had the nighthouse too warm is it is the first night that Medea was not in there on her own mobility. Usually she had been in there, so I reasoned the warmer temp in there kept her out of fooled with her ability to evaluate the potential cold for the evening. Prior she was good about going in on her own, Darth was at about 90% and Phae, well she's a bit of a b itch about it, so far she put her self in the nighthouse only one time.

Medea was the worst one about going in on her own. It never occurred to me that the shed might be too warm.

Sentence finishers, who the %^$#* are these people. Like you climbed inside my head and know what I'm going to say.

Earlier this week I went a 'financial planner' as a free service of my wife's employer. I went mostly 'cuase I worried she might sign something that includes me and it's not appropriate. She was talked into a 24.99% credit card by her dentist for background on my concern.

So this guy is an specialists in a dozen or so things, an oxymoron in itself.

I wanted to ask if he was the go-to person for reconsidering mortgages, as that was on the flyer handed to us, and the largest word on a poster in the meeting room, in our session which included him, myself and my wife. It went something like this...

Me: I wanted to ask about (as I point to the flyer)
Him: 401k's, your wife has an excellent 401k here, she gets

Me: I want to see about
Him: you can also put money in an IRA, but that won't be matched by

Me: uh excuse m e
Him: we also have many personally managed account choices for your retirement.

Me: How about I just sit here and you do all the talking for both of us?
Him:(worried look) (about to say??)

Me: Dude, are the go-to guy for mortgages or not?
Him: well that is something we can help you with, but that's not really what we do.

I don't have a copy of the flyer/poster thing in the meeting room, but the word MORTGAGE was the single largest single word on it.

F-tard.
