KD, Ya done great! Yes, I am challenged in posting photos. You put in a lot of work KD, I thank you. Now to finish the shop. A long way to go yet. I plan on teaching where the person is taking a leak. I will clean it up first. I couldn't believe it. I went to the shop we were building, and a person was in the corner taking a leak. The facilities are right across the isle! Talk about class. Oh well. Life goes on. That might be why we call it Floriduh. I hope to have cameras on line by this fall also.

Oh yeah. Those folks are customers, not students. I had to make that sign as they would talk to other customers, knowing absolutely nothing, and the people they talked to believed them! They were not students, they were Cornholios. Lots of them.

I forgot to mention, Ralph was 10mos old in that photo. He has traveled most of the States now. He hates traveling, but he likes to be with us. When we travel, we cannot go out from the hotel. We have to get take out pizza. When we leave him, he and his sister, just sit in the middle of the room and cry. We fooled them one day though. We have had him for 11yrs so far, he and his sister. Every Friday we leave for the shop. It is right up the road. One day, I had to come back to get some stuff for the display. We snuck up on the house, and there was no crying! It was all a game they play! They put on the show, make noise, and bat things. We leave and hear them crying as we get in the van. When we come home they are by the door crying! We open the door, they yell at us, and go to the middle of the room and turn their backs! We figuired they sat around and moped all day. NOT! They put on a show, then take naps. They snack, nap, watch a few things through the window. They have us trained for sure! We love them. Their games are nothing. We even found a vet that specializes in the breed. They like him! He is an older guy, been a vet before the Civil war. Knows cats inside out, and likes our cats. He can give them shots, and they do not care! Way back when, when we first got them, we took them to a vet and they took him, his helper, his other helper out! Stitches, lots of yelling, cat howling, I told him they were not Tabbies. You know the south, A pat on the head, and I know it all, boy. Well they showed him. Good boy Ralph! Gave Bubba a Whuppin. They are our children. When you have them, you need for nothing. They do not like anyone else either.

Before I turn in for the night, Let me assure you. F1 Bengals are a joy. High maintenance though. They are one human cats. You literally cannot give them to anyone. When we got Ralph and No Bad Kitty! They were Feral like no feral cat was. You can take a Tuxedo cat that was born outside, lived outside, and slowly came into your life, and they are less maintenance then these folk. If Jenne and myself were not in a position to exclusively deal with them, I am not sure they would be the great children they are. They are not declawed as I do not declaw cats. I made the house so where they scratched as cats do, I can replace the trim easily. I designed it that way. No Bad Kitty is a queen. Even though we had her spayed, she marks the bathroom. I tiled the entire room so I can go in and flash clean it. Her room, she leaves the rest of the house for us. She pees in the shower. Ralph has his litter box. The F1s And F2s do not live as long as the F3s and so forth. Ralph is getting older now. He cannot jump as high as before. I worry about a broken leg on his leaps. Rest assured though, no living thing exists in the house aside from No Bad Kittty, and Ralph. We are their pride. They are great. Ralph sings to me when I am in the shower. I come out and he gives me a kiss. There is no reward in life like the trust of an animal that was FERAL! He is as mellow as can be. He loves to be held hind feet upwards and then stroked. They are worth it. Oh, they like water also.

An update on the Future "Fartman's creations", photos will follow. The walls got built, then torn down. They forgot the Moly's to attach the sills. The sheetrock got torn down. They forgot the electrical. Then they tore down the sheetrock again! Forgot the lights. They had thought they would cut open the holes for the 2 X 4 recessed lights. Well, some of the roof rafters did not measure 2ft centers. I told them, to box in the lights and forget about it. Nope. They had to do it the hard way. Well, this time they also tore out the insulation we just bought! 100$ a pack for R-36. I realize the State law prohibits anyone who lives here to posess and IQ greater than 68. This we know. I had no idea we were training ground for Romper Room! We are going to have to tear off the OSB next week to move the windows. This is costing me a small fortune, the FleaMarket personell are doing the remodel. It is wired backwards! We gotta redo that. We even provided a drawing! The Electrician read it upside down! I got some more photos to send to KD to post. I do not now what to do now. We missed the open deadline by two months. Today is the cut off date. We had to return the tuition deposits and re-imburse air fare cancelations for folks that had signed up for the school. Well, what are we going to do now? Who knows. Photos coming.
