Good Morning!

[MrsBugmaster]

Rainy day here, I'll take the rain over snow!

 

[Ippyroy]

It’s 9 here. Was predicted to be below 0 so that’s a good thing. Got close to an inch maybe of snow.

This is cracking me up! I actually grew up in south Florida, but I had spent a number of years in the deep south. I thought was pretty fluent in redneck until I saw some of these. ;Hilarious

Good morning and happy Saturday! I got a new box of water yesterday...when will I stop buying corals? I really think I'm done now. Both tanks have plenty and I just need to stop and let them grow! Who am I trying to convince here? ;Joyful

We're off to buy some ornaments for the tree, and then the always fun water change for later. Enjoy the weekend!

Good morning
After some serious setbacks we are getting up to speed.

The cat fort under the tree is very popular.
Time to go remove the Chemiclean.

Back in the 90s I lived in Mississippi and worked in IT building networks for banks and the state government. We were setting up a network for the unemployment agency. We were on the site looking and checking things out. Their head person asked us where we were going to place the server. We showed them where and they promoted the person sitting closest to that spot to their head IT person. I quit with in a month.
Before that I spent a month training people at Planter's Bank in Memphis how to double click.

Good morning everyone! One of our cats decide to start climbing the Christmas tree. While the cat is climbing up the inside of the tree you don't actually see anything other than the tree and ornaments swaying. I think it is quite funny when a head pops out from between the ornaments about 5 feet up (not everyone in the house is so amused).

CAT FORT IS UNDER ATTACK

Morning y’all. First night of hannukah is done!!! We did our first “hannukah tree” last year. They’re so pretty and I love having the extra light this time of year.

Happy Hanukkah
:cool:

Good morning
It's nice here so we ate waffles and watched cats play on the deck.

I miss waffles.
waffle ice cream sandwiches, Neapolitan ice cream required.
:cool:

Good Morning Reefies

raining here too. hate it, much rather it was snow, but then I work from home and drive a 4x4 so it doesn't much bother me. and with no one visiting, do to governor executive orders, who cares if the drive gets shoveled.
I'm always amused by those that live in snow country (my fellow mid-westerners) and complain about snow, complain about the low water on the in land lakes, and global warming (now called climate change).

and if you haven't donated to the Toys For Kid's thingy our illustrious supreme leader of this fine site is laying down, well.... what are you waiting for?
:cool:

Did I hear someone say “rock work“?
I over did it this past Summer with rock work. Had 15 tons of medium sized “Rip Rap” brought in to control erosion along our lower driveway. They dumped it at the top of the driveway and I moved it all by hand with a garden cart. Took a week. It looked great until it got all filled in with leaves.


My Wife Angela just loves her garden fairies!


Also built all of this decking and walkway this Summer. A total of 28 posts, 2.5’ into the rocky ground.
Not too bad for an old man! I couldn’t move for a month after all these projects were done.
Looks a lot prettier when it’s not Fall. Lots of green and flowers in the Spring and Summer.

mighty fine homestead

I had to just google it as I wasn't aware there was anything but.

I’m in West Yellowstone and we have a spring for City water. The Rockies in general have very clean water. We don’t chlorinate. There is radon and I think uranium. My tap is around 20 to 30 TDS.

TDS = 20 - 30ppm is very pure so that is very good news and promising. I hope that our water is close to the same. When I lived there as a kid, we lived about 1/2 mile from the Bitterroot River in the west end of Missoula in an area called Target Range. In the springtime, our well water would get brown and full of silt. It was pretty nasty, but I believe it is determined by where and how deep your well is and when it was dug. The house we are moving to was built in the early 1990’s so there probably were upgrades to the laws around digging for well water...fingers crossed. I suppose I could try to find the aquifer the housing developments tap into for their water. Per my fiancé who bought the house when it was new, the pump is about 140’ to 160’ down. The University of Montana monitors the aquifer for water quality control. He is pretty sure that I will be able to find the information online. Between the water quality and the giant, fluffy snowflakes,
I am getting more and more excited about my reefing experience as I am thinking about this! Weirdest things excite us Reefers and Fish Lovers...Huh :)

Snow fall and melt will be the determining things for silt and cleanliness of water. Heavy snowfall and slow melt are best. I rarely if ever see the big fluffy snow flakes. We get a very dry snow here. I am at 6700 foot elevation and usually a bit colder than the rest of the state. Very dry snow which is awesome. I cleaned my porch with a broom for years. No ice on it at all. Let me know when you want to visit Yellowstone. I work in a couple of hotels here.

I'm over in Bozeman and have city water. Good luck with your move!

Thx! I’ll be asking about the best ways to move everything as we get closer. I have way too much stuff to too today to even start thinking about it. It’s the weekend and water change time. My RO only makes 5 Gallons at a time ~40 minutes so it takes me a bit to make 15 -20 gallons of salt water. I always make extra in case I mess up. Although today, I am going for a simple 10 - 12 gallon 10% water change. Just a little algae scraping and nothing more. No muss no fuss. Then, testing water parameters after the pumps have run for an hour or so. On Sunday, I’m going to set up my new APEX Neptune. My fiancé surprised me with it. I was looking at heater redundancy and an Inkbird and Seneye system. He did some research and decided to spring for the APEX (the version w/4 probes). We have talked about it off and on over the past months so it wasn’t a complete surprise just a nice surprise :)

Went to the LFS this morning and got some goodies!
Pix later when everything settles down.
