Oh yeah. . .if it's anything like gator it tastes like "fishy chicken". A Mexican food restaurant in my locality used to have it on the menu occasionally but it's under new ownership. . .so haven't seen it offered lately. :o

Never had croc before though. I'd surely try it though if I was at a place that had it on the menu. . .although not likely in my town.

That being said you can get the "gator nuggets" for less than $20 a pound from Louisiana. http://www.lacrawfish.com/Alligator-Nug ... -P186.aspx :lol:

Bon appetite! :D

If your hobby is catching crocs and gators then you have my respect. I would be doing some high stepping around that boat dock. Rather face off with a gang of hooligans in a city park at night than get too close to a big crocodile. btw BassPro serves alligator in their restaurant and it's not too bad.. HAHA!

Thanks homie for fixing my picture up, I'll get the hang of resizing soon, hopefully.

We don't have crocs in our area yet, but who knows what's coming in the future.

So your hobby is camera collector :D

Nice picture.

Just did a recount, got a few more than six,
!. Yashica Twin Lens Reflex.
2. Mamiya 16 Automatic Spy Camera.
3. Minox Wetzlar Spy Camera.
4. Minox Digital CLassic Camera.
5. JooVuu Mobius Action Camera.
6.Sony HDR AS-100V Action Camera.
7. Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS10.
8. Sony DSC WX350 20X Zoom.
9. Olympus Pen E-P3.
10. Sony NEX 5N
11. Canon Powershot SX-30 iS 35X Zoom

You may safely assume I have a camera fetish combined with a bad memory. :lol: :lol:

Many years ago when first married, I used to tramp through the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne, pushing a kiddie stroller carrying a Graflex Half Plate camera taking shots of the scenery, then developing the class plate negatives in our bathroom.

Great memories, wouldn't change a thing. Don't have a problem remembering way back when, but can't remember what I had for breakfast. :lol: :lol:

Short range memory allows you to play a good game of chess with yourself! :lol:

Don't worry about it. . .

I amaze myself sometimes too. :lol: :roll: :o :lol:

Nice collection of cameras. I found that Olympus seems to deliver a "what you see is what you get" image. Kodak is more color enhanced I think.

My weapon of choice is my Canon 1DX - backed up by my trusty Canon 1Ds3. Got an old Kodak Instamatic in my collection - had a couple of Brownie's in my collection at one stage too, but think I've tossed them. These days I use one of my 1D bodies for my professional work and my iPhone camera for the "quick and dirty" stuff. Lenses (7) lights (11) and filters are a different story though ... :)

Thanks for the list John. You have more than I thought! And makes that I trust and like.
We've come along way with camera's, digi and such but more than most times I use my cellphone. Simple, lightweight, easy to lose - I mean Use :lol:
Memory, Ha! I forgot about that!
Grab whatever camera ya like. The problem is, figuring out "how to" use it ALL.. OVER.. AGAIN!
Fa-Get-about-It!
Cellphone! iPad! :D

Pompano beach, right outside my house. I fly a field almost daily from there, I can go out about 3km and then return. Legal flying as long as I stay above 150 feet and less than 400. No loitering over properties.

I have a few cheapies and since they are not gps stabilized, they can be a hand full to fly. The pro drones will hover with no input and stay in a spot for as long as batt lasts, the chepies tend to slide to the side without correcting input. Look at the $499 DJI SPARK for the cheapest way to make flying cardiac free.....it's not a cheap hobby, but very addictive

Another pic, this is 200 feet up. At this height, the drone is silent to any ground people and invisible to naked eye.
