No, I was the bait. He was my savior.

Nothing like having a Snake on station when you need one. I can still pick a Cobra out just from the rotor sound. Nothing else sounds as good as a Cobra when it's coming to save your ass!

Thanks.

It's something I never thought of until the wine rack. Other neighbors saw it and asked for one, "but a little different" and it snowballed (in a good way).

About 50-50.

I've had a lot of people show me a picture of what they want, and a lot of "stealing" an idea, but going another direction.

The owls were mine, and now lots of people are selling them or something close on e tsy.

The first wine rack was from a picture, the one with a railroad spike base was my adaption.

Skiing figures were me, and I've done cross country skiers as well.

Kool, I often wonder what would have happened if I had stayed in. My senior chief wanted me to re enlist and go Radioman in planes but I had other ideas of going to college. I did the later and everything worked out but I'll never not wonder.
