Well it is a buddy of mine and he runs a pawn shop. He let me put it on lay away! Otherwise no way I could do it while building the house. I got the, thou shalt not buy anything mandate till house is done. The Pythons are hard to find so I did not want to let it slip away. The max he has had one in the shop has been two days. This one never even made it out to the shelf. He is pretty savvy and takes the time to know his customers likes and dislikes. I don’t know if he keeps a file on all us or what, but when he calls me and says guess what just came thru the door? I generally beat feet down and snag it. And Happy Birthday to ya!
