Good Morning!

[CMMorgan]

I try to be the same way. Always look at the positive side and go ”One Day At A Time” ( horrible TV show by the way but Valerie Bertinelli is still a cutie)! LOL!
So, I was sitting out on the deck having my second cup of coffee and “The Captain” came out. He’s a huge ground hog that has been living in the woods just outside of our back lawn. He’s been here as long as we own the place. Well, it appears that Ole Captain has himself a lady friend. Never seen more than one back there but they were running around and playing together. Just seeing that takes my mind off of things and heads me in a positive direction.

Did you play them a little Al Green on Spotify?
Thanks for sharing. I drove by a little family of wild pigs on the way home last night. Totally made my day. Isn't is amazing how a little visit from mother nature turns a frown upside down?

 

[Peace River]

Good (belated) morning everyone!

So clearly I missed morning (I mean I didn't actually miss it, I just haven't stop to add my morning greeting until now!), but I didn't want to miss out on wishing everyone a Happy World Environment Day!

Enjoy all of your personal aquatic environments today and reef on!

Which is why I keep a little tiny bit of her in the basement.

he's my hero too. QT,,,,, bahahahahahahahaha.:cool:

The home gym really works. After getting the 137 pound box and the 2 70 pound ones out of the truck I am worn out.

carrying the box of salt mix or the multiple bags of water softener salt down the stairs does me in.
I figure it's the prime moment for either the surgically repaired knee or one of the achille's to pop again. :rolleyes:

I know it's not morning but I went out on my boat last night for a nice dinner and after a few miles one engine died.

We almost made it to our destination but luckily I have two engines so we started back. We had plenty of wine, beer and food so all was not lost. About 2 miles from my marina, the other engine died.

Still plenty of wine and beer so we anchored and partied for a few hours. Then I figured we better get back before it got dark so I called "Sea Tow" on the marine radio.

The radio don't work. It lights up and looks like it's working but dead as a quarantined fish after it was exposed to velvet.

No sound. But we still have plenty of wine and beer so I call on my phone GEICO who has been insuring me for over 50 years.
They never heard of me.

I get Sea Tow and they want $2,000.00 to tow me 2 miles.

I told them, "I think you mis understand, I don't want you to buy me aboat, just pull me 2 miles. $2,000.00

I actually have $2,000.00 but I didn't think it was worth it to be pulled for 2 miles.

I was in the channel and just waited until I saw a boat big enough to tow me and jumped up and down until he saw me. By law a boat has to stop if you wave you them down. Or of course they could say they never saw you but that never happens.

So while we were getting towed back to my marina, we enjoyed plenty of wine and beer.

He left me at my gas dock as he was also from my marina and we continued partying. I offered him $100.00 but he wouldn't take it. I wouldn't either because thats what boaters do. I will bring him a bottle of Champaign tomorrow because I want to go there and see whats wrong with my boat.

I let the marina install batteries and spark plugs because I broke my wrist but my first rule is to never let someone work on my boat.

You said the bad word. You know what that means.

I'm blocked? :cool:

Yes, you are.

It is quite amazing to me that people are arguing about exactly the same stuff as they were in 2007 when I first hit the marine tank forums. How to measure salinity, API test kits, QT, tang police, filters or not, sand bed cleaning, LEDS or not.
ozone bad, no chemicals, pellets are wonderful, skimm....................

Exactly the same stuff

I guess I am stuck in the past. I started my tank now with a swing arm hydrometer, API test kits and it has MH/T5 lights.
on timers.

One person picks up a guitar, tunes it by ear and then starts to play.
Another sticks a frequency tuner on, hits a number and then reads the tabs and does what they say.

I will always be the first guy.

Good thing you had plenty of beer and wine!

Good Morning Friends!
Looks to be an on and off rainy day here today. I’ve got to get my butt in gear and do something. All of this sitting around and doing nothing (Drs orders) is making me feel worthless.
I worked on my tank a little yesterday. My large Toadstool is having a 4 day long temper tantrum. It does that every once in a while then all of a sudden, it’s back in its full glory.
I need to pick up some Rx’s and groceries today. Hope that’s not the “high point” of my day. If we don’t have thunder and lightning, I may just take a rainy day spa soak.
Angela went to the LFS and reptile store yesterday. She got me water, frozen foods and some chemicals that I needed. Also frozen rats for the snake, 300 large crickets for the chickens to chase, mealworms for the Opossum And a new habitat for one of the tarantulas.
I hope you all enjoy your Sunday. Stay Safe, Healthy & Happy!

Good Morning, low 80's forecast, cloudy, river muddy, good day for navel gazing.

 

[ScottB]

Argh. Not a great morning. Heat alarms on the new build at the bank. We just stocked it up on Thursday with coral and fish. I repeatedly begged the operations folks there to confirm weekend cooling.

So this:


... is bubbling along now at 83.4 F

Can you add an indoor temperature sensor? For insurance.
A lot of commercial buildings now have remote administration of the HVAC to save energy costs by controlling the temperature to be higher or lower than normal when the building is not occupied.

Good morning from our marina! First night in our new camper, just waiting for the wind to pick up to go sailing. We got tired of sleeping in the hot cramped boat for the past 15 years, the trailer makes things much nicer! Trouble is I have spotty cell service down here, so hard to access R2R - so many non-quarantined sick fish out there
