Kick some butt on your big test and then go play in the lake!!!

Those boats can tip easy, especially if someone tries to flip it!!! ;)
Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday! With any luck, it will go by without any critter attacks on your person. :P

Oh, now see? You just had to go and make me jealous. Do you already have your jesses, lure and hood? I can lend you my copy of "North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks", signed by Frank Beebe himself. :P

Edited to get the book name correct.

Please do lend me the book - I have never even handled a raptor - well one that was not anesthetized anyway:$

I figured when my required service time had elapsed I would be put with the psycho squirrel (who really is psycho but for whatever reason never tries her crap with me), the birds or maybe even the groundhog. Everyone always wants to work with the raptors, so I never really thought they would pick me to train him - especially since I have 6 more months before I am supposed to be allowed to handle them. Apparently since he is skittish and high strung they wanted someone calm, who is capable of slow deliberate movements and very patient to earn his trust and train him - apparently I can learn all the 'details' along the way :D

They haven't even been able to get the jesses on him - he has been there almost 2 years now.
