Guess what?...Curt’s a ham….radio operator that is. hehe Let me back up a little. Curt and I were visiting my Uncle in Nebraska who just happens to have a ham radio. SO Curt goes and sits at his table, put the head phones on, wrong I might add on one ear, and says “snap my picture” you never know when this will be a Teapot Tuesday theme. That Curt, he’s a pretty smart cow… sometimes….. my card.
Well, I did as Curt said, snapped his picture only to discover that an alligator had snuck in the photo. Imagine that! He must have come up from the Platte River. Fortunately he was of the friendly kind.
Have to add that Curt will be selling Ham Radios now, plus tools to work on them. hehe Oh, and if you would like a coffee mug with CurtÂ’s name on it, theyÂ’re for sale too!
Sketching was done by Mutnik and her pen with the help of Curt and friendly alligator. Coloring was done with copics.
Well hope you have enjoyed another Teapot Tuesday Adventure with Curt. heheÂ…Â…TFL :0)Â…Thanks Mudder for ALL your inspiration!

That Curt, oh my, he has such a great collection of tools. That is a soldering iron I spy, isn't it? He looks a better hand/hoof with it than my DH is with his . Brilliant - and the little swirly wire coils are a most suitable embellishment.

Cathy, this is a priceless gem of a card as usual. I am so happy to see Curt. If he doesn't grace the cover of one of your cards, I miss him. This is awesome.

Curt and his new found friend, Mr. Gator, are quite the pair at the ham radio. Cathy, another chapter in Curt's life! Adorable images - it made me laugh - and I'm sure it will Charles.

I know Curt has loads of friends, but an aligator! He looks pretty tame here though. I sure wish I had a speck of your talent... Well all of it would be nice, but I'd sure settle for a speck of it....This is just adorable!!

Cathy, I am utterly delighted that Curt has finally gotten rid of that feminine udder!! Did that friendly alligator perform a little surgery.......Great card and story!! I would love to see one of Curt's catalogues when they are available...

Hope that alligator doesn't sneeze and chomp off Curt's tail! I knew Curt was gonna have a turn at hamming it up, I mean operating a ham radio...... I knew this was gonna be a good one! Snort! I love those home made wire brads you made....so masculine and fun! your trademark checkboard frame is da bomb! Charles will be pretty tickled and he will be forever wondering if some of his future radio communications just might be with a cow! Snort!
