I hate time change...
I have tried to change my perspective on that. While yes, time change is annoying for most of us. However, I am thankful we get longer days, and it fits the spring/summer season. It would be weird to go trick or treating and it's daylight outside

Very true. My biggest issue with it is it messes with my sleep schedule and anything that messes with my sleep schedule often triggers migraines for me.

Ah, the slippery slope to the disillusionment of the masses. Liberty is doomed.

Maybe so for me, haha. I just try to have a positive outlook on everything. Something I'm trying to do better about!

Now that I can see why you would not like time changes
 
Good morning Jimmy, no crappie fishing today!

not today, thinking of going to Lake Eufaula this weekend. Have a short road trip Wednesday, so will be taking it easy on this week off
 
Going to be 70 but mostly cloudy here today.
yeah it's 60 here. opened the garage and let the puddles dry up. organized some for boat work to restart and opened windows for air exchange.
 
Good morning all have a great day!

so I'm not happy with the new Osmo 3 ATO. tank sounded loud today of waterfall. yes, the overflow box had the drain close so its all the suction. went out and did a few errands. when I returned and walked in the house it sounded even louder. looked in and the sump looked low. yup. the ATO sensor was flashing red and down about a gallon. no idea why. I wiped it off and unplugged/re plugged in and it filled up like it should. quiet again. but the Oslo 2 had an audible alarm. this new one you can barely see the red flash (inside the sump too).

How long have you had it? I just got one a few weeks ago but so far so good. I do agree it's odd it doesn't have an audible alert, even my cheapo Duetto had one.
