Happy 2018 Everyone! Mike and Robert just returned from a job in Malaysia. Extremely humid toasty warm and a beyond beautiful country. Thanks for the job David!

I miss my Liz. She fit in the palm of my hand when I first got her. Her nose at one edge of my palm and the tip of her tail barely reached the other side of my palm. I had as many as six "Green Kitties" at one time. They are very smart and can live twenty years, inspite of what the alleged experts say. All but one was named after John Rudder. Frankie (from when he had a "halo" bolted to his head), Johnny (that one was a real brat, after 10 minutes in the fridge, he never sla...pped me with his tail again) Victoria (Rudder's middle name is "Victor" after his father) she was a female, so she got to be Victoria. Liz (cause Johnny was called "The Desert Lizard" a lot), J.R. (we got from Roxanne) and of course "Spike" who was named by his original owner and I promised, I would never change his name. Victoria was the first to go but I did buy a huvabotir because she kept laying huge clutches of eggs! She was the only one that wasn't water box trained, she was never caged but would climb down from her shelving unit (via the macrame' that drapped down one side. She was paper trained and would tilt her head and glare at me until I tore off some masking paper for her. After doing her business, she would climb back up to her perch. All the others, I donated to an exotic animal preserve with the exception of Liz. She lived at home with me and Mike for many years. She had a bay window in Santa Clarita and huge 6' X 6' by 3' enclosure that Mike made for her, complete with a sliding glass door. Then we lost that house and moved her into our offices at VNY that looked out over the runway. We had to relocate to office space and then she was in my office. The last office move we made, she was put in our reception area. As most of you know, I had been sick and just simply couldn't make it in everyday. Thank goodness for Deb, she took excellent care of my Liz for the last few years. Liz had the best life any lizard could have hoped for. Strawberries and kiwis do not grow in tropical jungles and she always had her calcium and protein supplements. See more

We are expanding MBD to Arizona. It's a slow process but we have high expectations, (about 30,000 feet high of expectations). Linda has been checking out the Havasu area, Bulkhead City has now gone International and of course Phoneix is definitely worth a "Look See"! You will be informed of MBD's progress.

The "Red Bull" race plane. Painted at "Artcraft" in Santa Maria. Theresa and the "Race Pilot" enjoying the air-brush skills done by Mike and Paul. Not bad considering, there are no skin overlaps or rivites! It's all an very skilled, artfull illusion to add a little flare in the air. All of the spray masks were made by Linda and all of the exterior markings painted on by Robert. Even Brandy, Linda's dog and one of the infant Corgi pups that her and Brandy rescued went on this job!
