MOTW - Aug 25 - Sep 3 2013 - Gail (Kueluck)

Hi Gail; thanks for sharing photos and videos with us . Your Cope's and Morph are very cool and my favorites.

Watched videos too and saw funny one with humans/canoe and scary one using Jeep to pull rock . Chains sometimes break and hurt people and things with brutal recoil. Do you still own it? I got a Toyota FJ Cruiser myself and once owned a 1990 Wrangler and previously couple 4x4 Ford pick-ups. .

Yes we still have the 1979 CJ-5, but don't take it out as much as we would like to. She'll be getting a new paint job hopefully in the next few weeks, now if only the gas prices would go down.

"Life accomplishments? Noble Peace-prize. NOT. Published writings. NOPE. Recorded music or video. Does YouTube count? But, I have served my country and stand behind all the rights of the Constitution, I support Christian organizations, have not received a parking ticket, moving violation or been in jail, I get along with family and in-laws, and love myself so others can also. "

Wow ... Why am I not surprised !

Thanks Lynn, it's been kinda fun to do this.

I acutally have a very dear close friend from Japan who now lives in the States and she was talking about going back to visit next spring. She already said she would bring some back for me.

Thanks Lynn, it's been kinda fun to do this.

Good Gail, if she brings more than you are willing to keep I got first dibs ! Will continue checking on possible sources; I find them so regal and dignified ! Agree with you, doing the MOTW stuff is fun !

[kueluck]

Carlos, you'll have to be second on the list. There's another member that I've talked to about getting these. She is also looking for resources for getting them state side.

[Hypnotic]

Congratulations! Was an intresting read!

What mileage you guys get? I'm getting 21 in highway and around 19 in town; but have a Heart attack every time I refill it from 1/4-1/5 empty tank and the pump hits over $50.00 !

[kueluck]

Overall is 12-15 mpg, there's no way to put an overdrive transmission in the CJ. And we have a 21 gallon tank, so you're talking over $70 to fill her up. Yup, she's a pig but we love her. She's getting a new paint job next summer, Durabak OD green on the outside. We wanted to do it this summer, but just haven't found a place to do it in.

Congrats on MOTW, It was great to get to know you better! I finally got to view all your pictures and LOVED the video of your front room. You're tanks all look beautiful, thanks for sharing with us.

I had to delete my post nominating Gail again cuz I've been otherwise engaged and didn't realize, or think to look 1st. SO GLAD to get to know her better, and none of it is a surprise.

Except that there was a bucket on the deck at work last summer or the one before and it had things swimming in it. I thought it was mosquitoes and we had a mosquito-borne illness outbreak in MA at the time. The cook dumped them out into road and now I wish I'd looked closer. Don't think it was mosquito larvae. So there's a lesson and something I'd never let happen again. Helping even in MOTW thread! Imagine that. And taking in teeny toads to keep them safe while they grow is such a wonderful idea. That your husband is cool with it is awesome.

And you guys look so happy. <3

All the help and reassurance with Banjo was priceless. Thank you.

[kueluck]

Gee thanks Crystal for the kind words. I just do what I gotta do to help those who choose to tend to the needs of the toads; they are my favorite non-fuzzy critter. And TJ, my husband so cool about all my critters. He’ll fix dinner while I get bugs ready for the toads, WTF’s, AGTF’s and snakes (if it’s their day). He also watches out for them and looks in the viv’s once in awhile, but weapons are more his thing.
