I can see enough to know that he is a very good boy. From the looks of him he will do even better when he gets a bit older. He looks great right now! Good job!!
Before a show my birds always look great. As I pack them up they start to look less great and when I get to the show Friday night they look horrible to me, but we always do OK. I just start picking them apart.
You folks got a lot of water back there.

Walt, you are a great inspiration of everyone in here and a knowlagble voice .i am somone who only sees the flaws and I tend to get too focued on them..Your right. I thought he had hit his stride, but every day he seems to get better..hes a real gift..and boy the flooding here was horrible and historic..its wierd to drive up to a neighboring town and seeing all the damage..and people working around in haz-mat suits..things are slowly returning to normal..but everyone is weary and a little punchy ..the national guard just left town..weird from our highway exit north and west wernt hit hardly at all, but to the east got slammed.binghamton and owego were almost unrecognisable..lot of people managed to get around it to go show..high class numbers..so that was good, people really needed the escape for a day..just being there was a badly needed smile..wasnt expecting to win a thing.
