I have not been around much lately. I have been working 2 jobs, life with children and wife I have been quite busy. In my free time I have been doing alot of practice with my spinning. Here is how I stand with it now. Let me know what you think

Actually there isnt much to it. Its 2 chains about 15mm weilded chain, a set of finger loops, couple quick connects, and kevlar wicking and kerosene or white gas to light on them... Not for the untrained that is for sure.. hehe

How are your fids doing? Have any new pics of them?
P.S.: I edited your post to fix the code, because the video wasn't showing on my end.

The fids are doing quite well. Igbo has finally started to talk. Now he don't shut up. He does about 20 differnt sounds. He says Hullo, and good boy.. that is kinda squaky yet but he is practicing. He also say's his name some what.. not clear but he calls himself EWWBOO I call him EWWWBEEE. So he is somewhat close.
How is buzzy doing?
and the rest of the animal clan?

Awww Igbo is such a cutie! I am glad that he's turned out to be a good talker! Yay!! How old is he now?
Mine is as mischievous as usual! Always trying to learn something new.
My cat is doing well too!!

Igbo turned 1 back on Jan 27. He like Buzz is very motivated by food.. go figure. He loves to get on the table while I eat. Trying to steal food from my plate that he will not eat.. Just wants to shred it. He loves soda cans. Lastnight we had McDonalds (yuck) I had to fight him off my can of soda. The entire time him being vocal and persistant that he wanted some. It was caffine free so I tipped the can and gave him a taste. That was the wrong thing to do. He wouldnt leave it alone after that.. I will post some pics here again soon.

Well, he's got good taste I guess.
The video's pretty impressive. More than I'd care to try. The last song got me to thinking that a performance to the Mortal Kombat theme would be good.

Wow that's pretty cool. You could always do that at Luau in Hawaii part time. It's especially cool and unusual since there is snow on the ground where you are.
