Oops..forgot one of my obsessions..inventions. It annoys me when something I need doesn't yet exist, so I often grab whatever junk is lying around and make it on the spot, while going out the door. I have over 100 inventions, many of which I use constantly or others begged off of me. My favorite is a device that gives me the "four-footed" advantage back. I can lope like a wolf up and down the steepest trails with little effort, at jogging speed, without slipping or getting tired, even carrying a heavy backpack, even using no hands! Using the device for even a few minutes, for some reason, makes peoples' abs hard as rocks and slims the waist. For this reason I don't let people borrow them or use them as they can become angry when I don't give the device to them. Also, its fun.

One big perk; birds and animals see me as a harmless four-footed deer and I can approach closely. This can be dangerous, as I was once hunted by a wild dog pack here in Thailand and had to take them off to show the dogs that I was human. They backed off, but resumed hunting me when I continued on. I had to throw rocks and yell at them.

I was going to get it licensed years ago but found some new patent laws that seemed able to deprive me of profit, so have hesitated, hoping for a law change

Welcome, Birding Nut!
