My other big hobby is bluegrass music. The kind of stuff that most normal people would have nothing to do with! I collect posters, photos, and other junk related to the music. In fact, I have my collection posted on a website – www.bgcollector.net. It’s not as up to date as I would like, but reefing has been keeping me busy lately.

I’m also a rhythm guitar player and own a nice selection of guitars, mostly Martin vintage acoustics. I haven’t played in a regular band in years, but I still love getting together a group of friends for an afternoon of playing. We’ll be jamming in front of the reef tank this weekend!

I grew up with american hp/cars -big engine no handling (lol) . I have driven many imports and love the balanced package most have . My buddy had a 700+hp Evo and it was a great ride just not all that reliable and a fortune to get to that hp level . Same thing as my 03 Cobra, to a certain hp level there fine,start pushing and parts break. Engine is strong but tranny shafts ,axles(irs ???), clutch all have to be upgraded also . Thats where it starts to add up . For me right now its ease of going fast, not having to do major mods for respectful power ,reliability ,warranty and resale in a few months .

There's actually 2 different birds. And they're quiet. They don't scream. But boy do they talk. ;D

ha. they poop a lot too. do you let them fly around the house or keep them caged?
Click to expand...

They do? Wasn't aware of that, especially since neither one of them "normally" poops outside the cage (they're poopy trained).

They are fully flighted right now, but that doesn't mean I let them cruise around at free will. Heck, Quincy plays Kamikaze during breeding season, and I don't want anyone getting hurt. :-X They do get plenty of "out" time, and they have tons of toys which get changed weekly. The funniest thing with them is that when they communicate with each other, they often use our language. ;D

Wendy your flowers are as nice as your tanks. Guess you have a rainbow thumb. ;D

Thank you so much, JR. I don't know about rainbow thumb though, LOL. It's just that I don't know my limits. As of last year I now have a pot ghetto along with the regular garden. :-[

Bryan, Hahn's Macaws and Jardine's parrots are sure nice! ;D

LOL, sorry about that, Phyl. A pot ghetto is when you accumulate a whole bunch of pots (in my case from big to enormous...and a dozen or so), and plant roses in them, too, and then put those pots anywhere you find room. ;D
