No, I threw my back out last Saturday. Spent all night Saturday and most of the day Sunday flat on my back on my couch unable to move. Monday I was getting around with a walker Tuesday and Wednesday I was using a cane. Thursday was still some minor back spasms so I carried the cane as a just-in-case and then Friday and Saturday I was shuffling but without a cane. Today is decent day but my back still bothers me. Even moreso now that I had to disconnect my water heater that cracked while we were out this afternoon...

Sorry to hear about your water heater and aggravating your back again. The good news is that they say cold showers are healthy for you and, even then, how cold does the water really get in AZ anyways.

Ok, if you're not following my other "active" build thread, I am working on setting up the 8 gallon with a Hydros Collective of it's own.

I'm thinking I'm going to pull the Minnow from this tank and install it on the 8 gallon with the Launch. That'll leave the X4, X3, XP8, and Wave Engine LE on this tank.

That leaves the XD and the WaveEngine 2 uninstalled. They'll both eventually end up on this tank I believe.

Can you link your other thread so I can check it out? I hate not getting notifications. I haven't been here for a while. Sorry to hear about your back, but I assume it's better now.

Yep! I have all but 1 or 2 of my build threads linked in post #1. Here's the 8 gallon which is still active:

Well, because of my back I hadn't really even looked at this tank in a while. It's rough. The front glass needs to be scraped ridiculously badly. The Birdsnest is literally taking up more than 1/4 of the entire tank. Tha Stratosphere Zoas have multiplied. Digitata has exploded with growth...

Anything can be a ski mask if you're determined enough.

Also, more wilderness pics:

I had a feeling we were going to be seeing this pic!

How much property did you have for your critters in AZ?

Not big at all. right at 2.5 acres.

In AZ that's decent property these days though. I think I'm sitting on an 1/8th of an acre.

Ordered some new fleece for the roller. It left San Fransisco on Monday, made it to Phoenix on Tuesday, then down to Tucson? Now it made it back to Phoenix last night but it hasn't been touched yet so it won't deliver until Tuesday... Guaranteed delivery by USPS was yesterday.

I don't know what i going on with USPS in AZ. I never had mail going through Tucson and now most of it is going either to Tucson first and then Phoenix or, like yours to Phoenix then Tucson and back. What is weirder is when Tucson gets my mail they have to drive right through Casa Grande to take it up to Phoenix. You would think there was some Tucson to Casa Grande routing possible.

Good old USPS. Worthless. And imagine this: they're a government entity so they're supported by our taxes BUT we still have to pay to use them
