October 2006 Archives

It passed 2 weeks after Lucky came to our home.

I had other bird pet before (chicken, turkey, bantam, budgie, parotlet), but he is the first one does grab & eat.

So cool.

Yesterday (10/6) new bird come to home from PETCO. He is a Fancy Green Cheek Conure.

The hatch certificate says he came out from egg on 7/6/2006.

Rupet was his given name, but I cannot pronounce properly. It came to his middle name. Now his full name is Lucky Rupet Hada.

He will be about 10 inch and live 20+ years. We have to write about on our will. Pre-Paid Legal is helpful for such issue.

He is fun boy. I feel he is reincarnation from Celestial Parrotlet I used to have. His name was GT (Green Tea).

After Las Vegas trip 2 weeks ago, I was checking my car's odo meter time to time. For business mileage I check every day. But I wanted to see 77777 mile record.

And I've got it. It was yesterday. I avoided freeway and took local load for commute.

The 98 New Beetle was present from my parents for our wedding. After we've stuck on Pismo Beach with dirt bike trailer, the maintenance cost much more than average.

For the cost wise, it does not make sense to keep car. But I consider it is a kind of luxury I could not do before. I talked to one of my friends some time ago. He said it is not luxury, it is love.

The beetle has number plate as "HADA BUG", but we call "BeBe" as nick name. "Be" is from Beetle. Another "Be" is from alarm lock sound.

I talk to "BeBe" that "You are good car. I appreciate you all the time." He says "Thank you.". It might be just reflection, but I don't mind.
