Good Morning!

[WVNed]

Good morning
Jill and Jeanna are going to Moundsville to see Earnest and deliver Christmas gifts so I get to herd animals for a couple of days. Olive the cat will now let me get within 2 inches of her without biting me. Tomorrow I will try toast as bait. She likes toast.
Earnest is not doing well and they are all concerned about his mental state. From what he told me he is up every hour all night urinating and is having problems with his CPAP causing aerophagia. Aerophagia is painful. If anyone had that going on for many many months their mental state would be poor. The man is a rock but rocks turn to sand with enough time.

I think I will try to complete the stationary sander project today. The thing is as old as me. It is from the era where you got a metal thing in a box and you had to mount it on something and power it yourself. Mom got it for my dad and he never did anything with it. I made a tool stand for it a long time ago and jammed it together somewhat so I could use it. Now I have mounted the motor a different way and replaced the old electric cord which came from a coffee pot if I remember right. It will even have an on/off switch now. I am still looking for a small bandsaw and a welder.

Good morning! The weather guru is predicting 1-2" tonight, so that probably means we'll get a foot lol.

Having fun with FedEx this week - had a package start in Indy, end up in Green Bay on Sunday, then for some reason got sent to Chicago, and is now back in Green Bay this morning to be delivered.. Glad its not livestock lol

I think I will put the wings on upside down. They would look more correct to me.

and to go find some bigger pullies for the sander. 1:1 isn't getting it. The belt stalls.

the cars making a funny noise....
better turn up the radio.

Ex wife killed a few cars that way. One that only had 25k miles on it and the other was my Jeep that she drove after killing the first car!

It's Cold for CA weather this morning, it just broke 50*F, so I will go swat some little white balls with the new metal sticks I got for Xmas! Enjoy the day all!

Good morning/afternoon.
Feeling really guilty today. My daughter's freshwater fish has died and she was really attached to it. I think it may be mostly my fault. She was here for Christmas break and had an outbreak of the algae that makes freshwater green and cloudy. It's a 10 gal tank. It was getting fairly cloudy and I told her to turn the light out. Two days later she said the fish were fine and I reminded her that they needed the water change she had been putting off. She didn't clean the gravel because I did it a week or so ago and there are only 2 medium fish. She changed about 50% of the water yesterday and left for school. Everything was fine a couple of hours later. This morning her two fish were dead and the cloudiness was white (the algae was dead). Ammonia was high, but there may have been dead fish in there for over 12 hours and I'm not sure how much that would raise the ammonia. Maybe dead/rotting algae had been piling up on the bottom and I said not to clean the gravel, but she had just changed half the water. I don't know what to think. Any ideas?

4 days in
2 flat tires
Received a RUSALTY order today but it's the stuff someone in Pennsylvania ordered. I guess he got my stuff.

MRI results are in and I am being sent for PT.

Good morning everyone! I may have ordered a Reef Breeders Photon Pro light.

I'm sorry about the tank. We've had our share of freshwater disasters over the years. Maybe the 50% water change was too much and threw something out of whack, combined with the sudden algae die off? I'm just taking a guess here. It's been a long time since I dealt with FW tanks. I generally change 10-20% of the water on my SW BioCube, which is a 16-gallon tank. You shouldn't beat yourself up about it. These things happen...

andrea's new daily game....
catching willow looking "hopeful". ;Hilarious ;Hilarious ;Hilarious


it's not easy being a big black dog.:cool:

Good morning. No big plans today. Maybe glue the bird together and paint it with primer. I rarely do water changes on my freshwater tank. It's been up many months and I may have done 2 of 20%. It's had a lot of fish and shrimp through it. I never use whack in my tanks so I don't have to worry about going out of it. Once I get the hardness where I want it I just use RODI water for evaporation. Add a few small sea shells to the tank for buffering.
Snow tomorrow evening maybe.
My friends dont do hopeful, just demanding.

I just got back from my favorite LFS and came out with two dragon faced pipefish, a female ruby red dragonette to replace mine that was egg bound and exploded and about an 11 inch piece of rock covered in Zoa's.

The pipes were ten bucks each and the ruby red was $16.00. The Zoa rock was about $45.00 or so.

This is a very old picture and not one of my new guys. I love these little girls because they point at me like one of my old girlfriends when they were mad :rolleyes:

Good Morning! It's 15 and snowing. We are expecting a foot this week. We got about an inch last night. Should be a fun 16 hour day today. I have a meeting with the regional manager this evening at my second job. I went off on a couple of coworkers last week because they didn't plow the parking lot. One of the managers offered me a promotion after doing it. The company had to pay over 7 grand to have a company come out and plow. I expect them to be fired. Have a great day and stay safe!
