"Hay", my name is Tom, METT are the initials of my family and that's why I bought the domain years ago.  I live near Geneva Ohio I lovingly call Hooterville. This is why I greet people with "hay". It is a great area, but my move from the city, Cleveland, to the country took some getting use to. Especially the utilities, or lack of them. I designed and built my own log home. It was an experience that I will NEVER forget. But I often try.

   I'm a retired cop, from a college, (YES a real police office state certified just like city cops, but actually more jurisdiction due to all the areas we had satellites). With my retirement came a massive life change. And I'm still adjusting to changes. Looking for a hobby I started to collect sports cards and spent way to much from 1998-2002. That got me on ebay, and I met some great guys and gals on the "Trading Card Board" of ebay. I now have well over 500,000 cards.

   Then somehow I started to get back into my animals, as I worked at an exotic pet shop as a kid. Life is strange. I worked there for about 6 years until my back issues just made it near impossible. It got me out of the house, and I'll really miss that, plus my great customers. I do go in on occasion, but nothing like I use to. They specialize in reptiles, but do a few other things. And over the last few years I have collected a few birds, Most as rescues.  

Main update of 12-30-09
In late 2009 I got back into coin collecting. On a very small scale. I collected coins in the 60s and very early 70's, before my exotic animal phase. I sold my small collection right before that big boom in silver prices in the early 80's. I got screwed! I also had piles of error coins, as no one was interested except for the popular ones. So the people at North West Coin let me browse countless coins for any errors I could find. Young eyes and a huge liberal coin shop, over 1/2 my collection was errors. I sure wish I had all of them now. But life goes on, and I'm starting to buy a few low end coins that I had as a kid. Also learning all the new information on the hobby.  I still have my birds, and will probably get back a few reptiles, fish, tarantulas etc.    

I hang out on ebay from time to time in the computer chat, music chat, and where I started the trading card board. 

At this time, I have 9 birds, 2 Nanday conures. I also have (1 double yellow head Amazon, (Pretty Girl) with 1 yellow naped (Carol, but it's a male bird), 1 more yellow naped (Foghorn Leghorn) with 1 Blue Front (Miss Prissy) 1 blue and gold macaw (April), and new arrives in May 09 Bert and Ernie. A green winged macaw and a blue and gold. Bert is a verbal riot. and I will have to make a recording of his antics. My collection  of reptiles varies from time to time.  We have 1 dogs, 4 cats, 2 great kids, and the best wife in the world, just one.)  Some pictures below.

That's a common red tail boa (BCI), a large black tailed rattle snake at 4am and no sleep for 2 days.
A gila monster of a friends, and a nice size American gator I had to take in as the owner was going to get arrested for having the 2 in his basement. In his municipality, they were illegal.
