The Rickeybird Scrapbook, 1984 - Updates

Tomorrow is National Reptile Awareness Day!

I can thank this Community for acquainting me with reptiles. Before I met reptile-lovers here, I was firmly in the "Ewwwwwww... SCALY!" camp, but I have really learned a lot. I am definitely a reptile fan now, and I consider myself very fortunate. Thanks, folks!

I also discovered that the Rickeybird is part eel, which, while not a reptile, looks like one to me. AND has scales!!!!!

Well I am thoroughly enjoying our little scaly diversion. Good find, Gila!!!!!!

Really fun to see all the fascinating stuff. I appreciate everybody's contributions.
I am also a Son of the Republic of Texas, and the missus is also a Native.
We're just displaced in Yankee Land (I'm still not sure how that happened)

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.........................

National Reptile Awareness Day goes on my calendar from now on!
 
Another "BLAST FROM THE PAST" installment from your humble Scrapbook Archivist
This one is originally from 10-24-16 [/I][/B]

Here we have available state-of-the-art new housing for Rickeybirds in their native Patagonian limestone cliff burrows. (Courtesy of a Chilean research/conservation project; note... I borrowed one of their graphics... but the humor is mine. THEY'RE a very serious project!)

I am going to take up a collection to send the Rickeybird to tour this Super 8. A one-way ticket should be fine................... I don't want him to feel pressured to return before he has really soaked in the local color. Start packing, Bird.
 
"We'll leave the lights on for you"...:eek: :18: :rolleyes:

Two in a row that had me laughing out loud! Thanks for the morning cheer!
 
This is so so awesome but I must say you really don't look like 30 years older .
 
I can just hear Rickeybird's evil laugh "mmmmmwwwwahahahahahahaha", come over here my little hen....
 
I treasure you guys. Each and every one of you.

Anansi and Laura, what would I do without your encouragement as I try to stay sane on Planet Rickeybird? Pia, flattery will get you everywhere, and thank you! PicklesyDicklesy, I can hear it now, can't you?

Speaking of hermit years gone by, this early photo is a pretty hermit-y vision. The Rickeybird loved to go to our backyard in New Mexico and look down on his foothills kingdom while claiming his sizeable hen...

This is one of my ol' man's favorite photos. He actually Photoshopped it himself a few years ago. If he were here tonight, I know he'd be posting it, along with his usual caption:
"The Rickeybird will be wearing a costume. Oh wait, he doesn't need one."
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!!!!

Rofl, wish I had half your imagination. RickeyBird is so lucky to have such a wonderful hen foe a mom/wifey/bestie/weird indescribable thingy we are to these feathered overlords.

Happy Halloween!! Wish I had photoshoot skills!!
 
Thank you, darlings. Now I can rest up for next year's Halloween while finishing off the candy stash.
 
Sometimes these Blasts from the Past carry warnings! Take this one for example, from three years ago tomorrow. An innocent victim of indulgent parronting, no doubt. Parronts, limit that video game time, be on the lookout for inconspicuous vaping equipment, and don't let the youngsters read this Scrapbook!!!!!! You're welcome.
