The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

^^^Here in southern California, in the desert, a place to catch frogs was pretty rare. There was a storm drain that sometimes had water in it, and the sludge left over in the open part of it occasionally had tadpoles in it. We'd collect some and take 'em home to watch them turn into frogs.

At night the eyes were lit up with red LEDs. I may do that when I give Petunia a new face. The one in the old picture was a piece of plywood, and the snout was a spray paint can plastic cap. Those got beat up by the weather.

Or is it a hose in yours?

The hose is irrigation . The eyes dont light up . I make planters out of propane tanks . Cut them in half . :chevy:

I am starting to have similar thoughts on many of the tasks I have routinely done for many years. I can still do them. I'm physically capable. I guess my head is wearing out faster than my body :lol:

OH MY EYES!!!

I bought a house that had tile and linoleum everywhere. And it was all old and really really ugly. And there was something like 1000 sq.ft. of it.

So I stripped it all out using pretty much the same tools... And I never want to see them again. :lol:

Man, how did they land without hitting that rock? I'm sure those pilots know all the great places to get good food. I'm going to have to start following them around

I'm beginning to believe you are indeed quite a photo-graphy kinda guy. How did you get that snail to pose for you?
