Wholly cow, I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes. God that was funny Jerry.

LOL....glad you liked it. I feel that way only in certain situations; hybrids and overlooked tatas are two of them.

I love that habitat...looks like Manual Antonio...

Very nice Dell. Can't wait to see the male I picked up from Rob turning... great to see what I can expect... perhaps I'll remember to document it as well.

As far as the San Jose Province post... I have mentioned they are the only things I'm envious of here haven't I? Ahh well, someday.

Gerry we'll take care of you when the day comes. Until then this will have to do.

That's some crazy-good deconstruction!

terryd Feb 01, 2011 12:00 PM

Hey thanks Tim, kind of interesting to follow the progression of the deconstruction of the milk banding. In hind site, I wish I'd been a little more consistent in taking photos.

Dell:

Thanks for posting this. Very cool to see how he's coming along. Looks like a bruiser. I'll bet he's totally black by this summer or fall.

Rob

terryd Feb 01, 2011 11:55 AM

Yeah Rob, they both look good (the ♀ was in blue for this latest shot, so I'm waiting to post her "deconstruction" photos).
You've been producing some nice black milks over the years. Keep up the good work.
