you shouldn't do things expecting gratitude. Do them because your a nice guy. Gratitude is just a bonus.

Re: Yay!

that is a nice looking boa and imo the most exciting way to find one.

I recommended to a friend to not waste his time sat night. It was his first chance to get out all year so he did anyway and scored a boa. Nothing else was found all night but hey who cares.

Congrats Brad

Wow. Were you in a park. Bears don't usualy walk up to cars to say hello. You could have got out and photographed the lyre and he wouldn't have bothered you. Just lock your doors cause park bears will open your door and steel your trail mx. :lol: that looks like a HUGE bear.

Re: Some summer fnds.

:lol: it was not the nicest looking stephensi but right after I saw it I flipped a u, hit some metal off the side of the road and flattened my tire. I had some free time while my compressor aired up the tire so I photographed it any way. There are some nice looking panimants in the area though.

There is no beach in Costa Mesa, but who cares about particulars like that.

Some where on the coast in southern C...
