Well, after 7+ years, it looks like Raider will finally get some new eyes. We talked to a fursuit maker at MFM last weekend and he's also a friend of ours and he said that as long as we order the eyes, he will put them in for free, but we just have to get my head and the eyes to him. We ordered the eyes today, so once we get them, set up a time when either us or Senko can go to him and replace the eyes in my head.

Well, looks like the FC picnic in Fremont will be the same day as my birthday. Since I don't have any plans for my birthday, might as well go to the picnic. I never went to a furcon picnic before. They said they will supply the food and drinks and an area we can change into fursuit. I hope it's not too hot that day.

Last weekend, I spent it with my best friend and my spouse,  senkolke. We went to Fort Bragg, California and celebrated our 5th Wedding anniversary. Hard to believe we been married for five years. We have our ups and downs, but we are still together.

I guess I have this fandom to thank for it. I never would have thought about marriage or even gay marriage would be in the cards for me. Sadly, no one in my family even knows I am married or even gay, for that matter. I can't post stuff like this on my Facebook page.

But yeah, last weekend we went to Fort Bragg and I had a great time, with the ocean and making videos and getting pix done. On the last night there, we celebrated on the beach, watching the sunset. It was beautiful and I am glad to do it with my spouse. Spending my life with the one I love, I wouldn't ask for anything else. Yes, there is nothing perfect in a relationship, you just have to work it out and move on with your lives together. I guess if I never found the fandom, back in 2007, I would probably be living my life, being miserable and alone. So, I guess the fandom is the best thing to happen in my life and I never found out about it until I was 39 years old. So, you young people have it made and I hope you find that S.O. in your life and be happy with that someone.

I been married for 5 long years and are probably the best 5 years of my life, unless you count the time I went to Disneyworld in 2000, lol

I am in the process of closing my Flickr account. A new company bought it last year and is just charging too much for a Pro account. So,  senkolke is helping me download my close to 8,000 pix off of there. It will take awhile, been doing it for over a month, now. I will use it for name parking and I have stuff in my faves on there, but I will eventually have no pictures in my account.

A week from tonight, Senko and I will be heading to San Jose for FC. We will be there from Thursday thru Monday. I will have this fursuit and Sabre T Tiger with me.

On the 20th of June, 10 years ago, I received this fursuit in the mail. I did get some upgrades since then, but this weekend, I will get pics done of all the original parts. Including the digitigrade padding. I will post the pictures on the 20th, next Wednesday.

On Tuesday (September 12th) my spouse accepted the job in Napa, California. We will be moving there, late November. We still have to find a place to live, possibly rent for the first year and if everything goes good, we will get a house. It will be a big move, from NY state to there. We will rent a truck and a trailer for the car and Senko will be driving there, since I can't. We will be packing up stuff we don't use that often, first.

In other news, I turn 49 next Friday, the 22nd. I took work off from Thursday-Monday. Saturday, we will be doing the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls. We already prepaid for the tickets. I don't have anything else planned, maybe go to the Waterloo Outlet Center on Sunday. I'll probably just chill at home on my birthday, maybe watch a movie or two.

Besides that, not much going on here.

I been in this fandom for 10 years now. It all started on June 1st, 2007, I was back home from visiting my sister and her family in Georgia. I was bored, so my friend and I went to a computer store and I bought my first desktop computer. Actually, my first computer of any type. That summer was hot and a couple months after I got my computer, I was browsing the internet, not finding anything of interest. Then, around mid August, I came across Goldenwolf's website, with some anthro art. I thought it looked cool and even bought a t-shirt with a piece of her art on it. BTW I still have that t-shirt. I started clicking some of the links on her website and found FA and another website, at that time, called Furry Art Pile. I started accounts on them, but I could not upload anything, since I had no scanner/printer of any sort. Eventually, I did buy one. I started browsing FA for all kinds of furry videos and my one friend even made a DVD of those videos. I still have that, too. Since I could not draw, I decided on getting a fursuit, but I did not know of any fursuit company other than Mixed Candy and they were not taking commissions.

So, I decided that Anthrocon 2008 will be my first convention and that I needed a fursuit for that con. I started an account on the AC website and asked the question in the forum for more fursuit makers/companies. Someone left me a list of some. I already knew I wanted a wolf, since that is my favorite animal, but to come up with a design. I did not want to copy anyone. Football season was upon us, so I decided on naming my fursona Raider, after my favorite team and give him the colors of silver and black.

So, I had to decide on what fursuit company to go with. I randomly picked one and gave him my information. I also filled out a fursuit commission form on the Furr Happens website. The first one got back to me and gave him my description for the fursuit. Then, FH got back to me and gave me an estimate on how much it would cost. So, I asked the first guy if he could give me an estimate and he said no, so I stuck with FH. Now, FH gave me a list of artist to do my reference sheet. I picked one out and gave her a description of my fursona. In the mean time, I went to my bank (credit union) and talked to them about getting a loan to pay for the fursuit and for my first AC and they obliged. So, I had the money for my fursuit and for the hotel for AC.

I paid FH the majority for the fursuit and also paid the artist for the ref sheet. In the process, I had a couple friends of mine, come to my house and help me make a DTD (Duct Tape Dummy) for my fursuit. After a few weeks, the artist finally made my ref sheet and since she felt bad for taking too long, she made my first badge for free. I sent the DTD to FH and now I had to wait.

I paid off the balance for the fursuit and paid for the shipping. The fursuit showed up a few days before leaving for AC. I was excited. I did notice later on that it wasn't complete. He had no eyelids and after the parade, his mane came loose. So, after AC I had to send the head back to get finished and fixed. So, that is basically how I got involved with the fandom, 10 years ago.

I been neglecting this account lately. Not sure why, just been lazy, I guess. I been using Facebook more.

I will be at Anthrocon this year, with my spouse. We will be there from Wednesday-Monday and then staying with a couple friends for the two days after AC. I also made a new video for YT of Raider at Durand Beach. With all the flooding going on down by the lake, the lake is at it's highest right now. The beach is covered by the lake.

I been at my job for 25 years now and have a special function to go to, Thursday, after work. Besides that, not much going on.

I will be at Anthrocon this year. Not exactly sure how I will be dressed or walk around "naked". Like always, my spouse and I will get there on Wednesday and stay until Monday. We have a room at the Courtyard and staying by ourselves, for privacy reasons. Hope to see some of you there.

Yes, I'll be at Anthrocon this year. Be there Wednesday around 4pm and staying until Monday morning. I'll be there with my sweetie and spouse,  senkolke We will be staying at the Westin with a couple other roommates.

Repost from my Sabre account

I will go on the biggest adventure of my life. We will be moving to California towards the end of this year, around early November.  senkolke got a great job working as an electrical engineer for a solar company and found out they have an office in California. As he talked to someone at the office on Monday, found out they are going to get 2 more offices in California, not sure where, though. The one office that is there is located in Corona, California. Which is east of L.A.


I am already having problems with this house and we talked to a lawyer a few weeks ago and he will take care of the issues with the house and take care of it. I will have to give up my job and find something new out there. I don't mind, I was getting sick of my job here, anyways. By times we move, I will be at the job for 23 years. I don't really have any family that I am close to, here. My mom passed away a year and a half ago and my father passed away over 23 years ago.

Once I get more updates, I will let you all know

Here's another video of me in the snow. Enjoy!

I been in the fandom since 2007. This is my first fursona. I have a few others as you can see on my front page. I just am tired and bored with the fandom. There isn't anything of interest for me, anymore. I'll still go to cons, maybe 1 or 2 a year and will post pictures on here once in awhile, but not as much as I used to. I'm going stay low and not be involved as much as I used to. I can't dance, can't sing, can't draw. I write stories once in awhile and not many people read those, either. For those that I know, I'll stay in touch, but don't expect a lot from me. I am a boring fur, anyways, I don't care what anyone says. Till the next time, May the Fur Be With You!!!

My birthday is the 22nd of this month. I will have the 20th-27th off to celebrate and/or relax. I do plan on doing stuff ON my birthday, just haven't exactly decided on what. Here are some choices I have. Go to the Waterloo Outlet Center and then go to Chimney Bluffs along Lake Ontario or Go to the Carousel Mall in Syracuse or Go to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

Well, I got the fursuit parts today, already. Less then a week after he sent it out. That is the good news. Bad news, The suit is very tight on me and and my spouse could not get the zipper all the way up. The handpaws are tight to get on, also. I am going to have to lose some weight in order to get to fit in the suit, properly. Maybe lose about 15 lbs and get myself down to 160. I believe that is about where I was when I did the measurements for Noble. I also have no pawpads on my handpaws and the claws are black. When these fursuit makers make a suit, don't they even look at a ref sheet when you give it to them? Also was supposed to be 4 digits, but got 5 again, for the second time. Guess at this point, I am just glad to have gotten the suit.

My new bodysuit, tail, and handpaws are done. I just have to wait for the maker to get back to me about the shipping fee. I will have him put my spouse's name on the package also, so if it needs a signature and I am not home, he can sign for it.

I will be at Anthrocon, but as  sabrettiger, not my wolf self. My new body suit, tail, and handpaws are not made yet, so Raider will not make an appearance at AC again, sadly.

As the title says, I am getting married in less then a week. Next Monday at city hall. My fiancé is  senkolke and we are happy together, love ya tiger. I told my watchers on my Sabre account, but haven't on here, so now you know.

Now that my mate,  senkolke is with me, I am able to get better videos of me playing in the rain. Here ya go.

Well, seems like the maker for my new body, tail and handpaws is bullshitting around. I contacted him 2 weeks ago and took him 2 days to get back to me and say he will make the pattern that weekend and I see no results. Should I contact PayPal and tell them that I sent him the money and got no product or should I tell the maker that if I don't see any results soon, that I will report him to PayPal and get a refund? I really need a new body suit and new handpaws. The new body suit is going to be anatomically correct and is supposed to be made by  noblewolf. He has no website and no queu listed for when his suits will be made. June 6th will be a year since I first contacted him.

I finally heard from the maker who is making Raider's new bodysuit, tail and handpaws and he is making the pattern for them this weekend. So, hopefully I will get it soon.
