My house is 20 years old so I do have a few of those in my walls. The younger ones will never understand what we had to do just to make a phone call :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Or that there were no such thing as private calls unless you were from the “rich people who had a phone in every room” crowd. If I had a nickel for every time my dad cracked me in the back of my head for pulling the cord too far… hey, wait a minute, maybe that’s why my memory is so bad!

My first modem had a baud rate of 14.4kbits/s. This was before CompuServe became a thing. I jumped straight from 14.4 to 56kbits/s and thought “Daaaang!”
I now have 940Mbps.

Apparently it’s National Pup Day so in honor of that ,and it’s one year ago this month we had to say goodbye to my constant little companion, here’s a video my daughter made for our Papillon. I still miss his little paws running around.

BTW - don’t let it get around that I got all teary eyed lest I have to have my cousins, Vito and Rocco, pay you a visit. Someone might think I have some feelings and empathy.

You’re just a big softie at heart.

This made my day. Thanks I’ve got a big soft spot for dogs. Today it’s been 2 years since we got our puppy, and I can’t imagine waking up without him. You must be really strong on the inside!

Thanks! I’ve been through a lot in my life!! Mother died when I was 11, my 21 year old son killed in Afghanistan, 2 months before his wife gave birth to twins (12 years this June) just to name a couple. What’s the saying.., what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Life goes on with the help of my faith!

edit: when my son died, if it wasn’t for my little dog I wouldn’t even have been able to get out of bed. But I new he still needed me to take care of him.

On another note, my LFS finally got back to me on the tank. He contacted planet and this is what he said: the seam below the teeth is 1” and for my tank would drain 11 gallons into the sump. But the bottom of the bulkhead inside the overflow box is another 2 1/2” lower than that. Do my sump will not handle that much water. The answer is to put a gasket on the inside of the weir box and that will stop the drainage.

I don’t know why they put just one gasket on the outside wall of the tank. Most all other overflow boxes has 2 gaskets on them.
So LFS is getting me 2 more gaskets then I have to disassemble the overflow and add them. What a pain!!

Tested again this morning.
Po4 0.09 going down since adding the GFO reactor back in the mix
No3 11.4. going up, started dosing MB7 and homemade no pox. Maybe it’s time to set up refuge again or ATS.

I hope my longnose hawk fish and golden butterflyfish start eats pellets. Now that they are in the display with the others they maybe they will learn to soon.

my phone camera never knows what to focus on with all the movements in the tank. One of these days I may get a decent picture.
