Good Morning!

If you look closely at the top, left inside part of the pot, you will notice a large patch of eggs. This pair of goldstripe maroons is very consistent and today, yet again, they did their thing. I know that this is not a great picture and this tank, that is part of the clownfish section of my fishroom, is definitely function over form.

As a side note, these maroons have no problem with letting me do maintenance in the tank and they never attack me. My fire clowns on the other hand...

My collection grows. Proud owner of a 150 gallon stock tank. That makes 6 now.

How much total water volume are you at now Ned?

Got it wrong overhearing the call. Older brother has prostate cancer, maybe???

400

I haven't changed anything yet. I was out in the fish room with a tape measure and thinking about a Ranco controller and new electric circuits and my arm hurts and I need to go start PT and

I came in and sat down.

The plan is 240, 180, 75 and 150 so that is 645 approximately. And to do it better. Filter socks first if I want them in, then equipment in the 100 that isnt slammed together. Open so gimpy can not break things. The Inkbird is maxed so a Ranco on it's own circuit is a must. I had second small breaker box put in when the did the generator. Sneaky *******. I have open slots to use. A new circuit behind the 180. Big whole house generator with no load management at all.

Unless I come to my senses and stop this insanity. Too late. I have the 150 gallon stock tank here already.
I could slick it right in there tomorrow if I took the 100 out and didn't use it.

Good Morning Everyone!
70* today and rain tonite turning to snow by tomorrow morning. Crazy weather, that’s for sure.
Hopefully, the mud from the last heavy rain and freeze will finish drying up today. It’s still pretty sloppy out there.
Well, this old man turns ”62 years young” tomorrow. Angela wants me to think of something fun to do tomorrow and then a nice dinner out.
Cant really think of anything at the moment but I’m sure I’ll come up with something.
Our 20th Wedding Anniversary is coming up in July. We were talking last night about possibly going back to Costa Rica. Depends on it I’m due for another headache cycle and if we can find a reliable pet/house sitter.
The oxygen therapy has been working out fairly well for me. The headaches still hit and wake me up numerous times every night but the O2 ends them quickly before they become full blown attacks. I wish the cycle would just end but I’m blessed to have this new tool in my arsenal.
Wishing Y’all the greatest of days today!

Good Morning!
i needed to go this morning so at 1 AM when i set the electric alarm clock to 6:15 i bumped the hour to 2. when i looked at the clock at 5:12 and saw 6:12, i thought 'close enough' and got up. when i looked at the coffee which had not started even though i had set it to start at 6 i realized my error! then at 5:24 my power went off which reset the clock to 12:00 so would not have woken me up and since the clock on the coffee maker would also have not started the coffee ... perhaps the mighty siphon sounds downstairs would have served as the alarm but if i had been sleeping soundly i might not have heard them. good news the power came back on at 5:26. coffee and oatmeal are done and breakfast can start. have a good day y'all!

Good morning
I have become an all hours kind of guy. I never know when I will be up.
June 24th - 40 years. Not sure what we are going to do. It seems like we have always been trying to catch our breath.
Jill with her parents and me with my parts breaking off.
Jill seems to finally be coming out of the I have to get this done before I go back to work mentality. We have been professional rat racers all of our lives. We went to get a debt consolidation loan yesterday. It appears we will be able to
maintain our standard of living until inflation will bite us on the rear. The very last of our debt will be one small monthly payment. Met a nice lady with a 14 year old 100 pound German Shephard that looks like bear at the bank.

I need to start PT and I am dreading it. I may be the worst patient they have ever had.

Enough of that. I have fish tank dreams to make come true. I have a plan except for the first time in my life I am not sure I am up to it.

I don't remember when I was 62, much less 42. I am not sure I was ever 42, I think I skipped over that. ;Bucktooth

Good morning everyone. I'll be helping to set up the Florida Frag Swap today in Lakeland, Florida and then be part of the show tomorrow. If you're anywhere near central Florida it might be a good way to spend a Saturday - lots of corals for sale and a really good raffle!

Good Morning. As I was coming home from my walk early this morning I heard this loud noise that sounded exactly like a 60 caliper machine gun, and trust me, I know what that sounds like. I looked for some sand bags to jump behind but they fell out of fashion after the last war.

We have a lot of deer around here but I don't think we have a 60 caliper machine gun hunting season on them.

The noise sounded like it was coming from on top of my house so I knew I was doomed because I had no where to go. Then I figured, this guy must be a terrible shot because he fired about 75 rounds and didn't hit me.

I looked up and noticed a woodpecker was pecking at the aluminum gutter on my house.
What a stupid woodpecker that was. I mean we have trees all over the place he can peck at. :oops:
