I've been borderline for years but with an A1c hovering around 5.7 to 5.8, I just watch my diet, and I don't really crave sugar that much. I feel terrible physically when I eat a piece of cake or something else real sweet so I just don't.

so pup is doing wonderfully, her name is Sadie, in 6 days she is mostly potty trained no accidents in 2 days, and I think she is half again the size she was last Saturday. No cake for me truck is fixed, Temporary robber screen installed. Look at all the bees aimed at the white hive

I'm not type 1 but I'm trying not to be type 2. I used to make a really great devil's food cake, or carrot cake, all from scratch, only cakes I'd bake. Gave the oven away in 2011.

Waiting for shop to check my alb sensors. I think Sadie is half again as big as she was last Saturday

They steal the honey, i think thieves are the dead bees. Small front door, i expected this, but i will put robber screens on

With stingers

One of my beehives was robbed yesterday, maybe by the other hive. I need to put robber screens on them today. Picky customer may require another southlake run to hide his pump, but I charge a fortune, it is what it is

I got the covid shot before my trip in September. Today I worked. Yesterday I worked. Tomorrow I will probably work. going to bed

will manage somehow

The clowns have gone. He calmed right down when I added them, so I got him some company today. Maybe not the same species of yoyo loach, but 3 of them. When they grow they can move to the 55 with him. As my tetra experiment should be over by then.

today I took puppy for shots since she had recovered from yesterday's dietary indiscretion; delivered clown loaches, bought yoyo loaches (species unknown of course) and a couple of chinese algae eaters to quarantine. My big yoyo is beside himself. he enjoyed the company of the clown loaches and...

well I installed in 2018, I popped a hole with a milk crate chasing a fish a couple of months ago and it took me a week or 2 to figure out it was leaking. By that time soil had been eroded from underneath. And this is the above ground basin. Something you would not do in Canada I suspect, it...

The grandkids have gone home and the pup is napping, she had a blast chasing children and they had a blast playing with her. That's a win win. Now dishes and fix the pond again and this time get some sand underneath that corner because the patches pull loose if liner is under tension

I never started one - knowing what happens in water lily pots with mud was a deterrent. but it is a great read to see the lifecycle

but Teddy does not want her in his crate. My dogs are older, the youngest one is 6, and might play with Sadie, but grandchild entertainment would be very helpful. Happy Thanksgiving Gary, and happy homecoming Back in the Fold.

I do not donate to the national organizations at all. Local animal shelters and low cost spay and neuter clinics only. There are many many puppy mills and backyard breeders as spay neuter laws are NOT enforced, (dogs are property and Texas is all about property rights), and there is glut...

Shelters in Texas are jammed with dogs. Adoption returns often do not get a second chance. Sadie is a sweet little yippie thing and my dogs are old. 10, 11, 14 and 6. 10 year old has a metastasized mast cell I'm pretty sure, 14 is on thyroid meds and the average life expectancy for a shar...

I'm tired already. Helper is scraping and painting house trim, AC guy came and replaced my defective 3 month old motor, I cleared the porch off and got a coat of shellac on a Singer and a White Rotary, then my puppy was delivered. She's about 3 months old border collie lab mix and owner had to...

I was too tired to see if I could see them last night, but rural Texas people were getting some pretty good photos

I've never seen them. Supposed to be visible somewhere in Texas but unlikely to penetrate city light pollution

changing a pond liner day 2. Original was intalled by former home owner, had to reshape and raise the perimeter... But it's almost done

I have a freezer, and a meat grinder

So do i. Hoping someone gets a deer or a boar this year

65 indoors is maybe time for a fire at night, right now it is a lovely morning temp and if I can get the house down to 70 I'm thrilled. We cleaned a small pond today. Ran a bid that turned out to be just a consult, I don't clean pondless full of chemicals that will remove my skin. Like having...

I'll bet they will appreciate the volunteer assistance with the tank. I got 2 treadle machines sewing this afternoon, after digging up weeds and bagging them this morning. need to rearrange the back bedroom to accommodate a plant shelf for when my succulents come in. My smallest dog has...

was 92 here today, lows are in upper 60s at least

remove hard drive. buy adapter from amazon, use as external hard drive on your new computer or desktop

they will be transported next week, they are being quarantined with him.

He's going to have to inherit the 55. House won't hold a 75. When the clowns have come and gone I'll look for more, i have a good pic of him

The tetras are 8 years old, 3 or 4 are approximately 3 years old. The 55 had a cyanobacteria issue partly from too much light, and a sponge filter that might have dated back to my reef. While light and protein issues were dealt with, a couple months of light out won't hurt the tank, I'll find a...

I am tired, yesterday was long, tomorrow will be long, but today maybe I can see my bees before I go buy clown loaches and take them, and more rockwork, out to the 100 gallon. Then maybe patch a pond leak. I've kept aquariums in nursing homes before. The residents seemed to enjoy them.

for right now he's solo in a 29, I'll put some small guppies in, in the next few days. I want to see what the tetras do as far as eggs, and he will eat eggs.

I just lost my 8 year old moonlight gourami, cancer I think. Lost my 12 year old albino bristle noses. Female last december, male this spring. That is what happens when we provide really good care. I don't look as pretty as I used to either, so when my customer asked me to remove the old...

Never trust an actual lawyer who gives you free advice. if you pay him a dollar he is more reliable. My ex worked on a lawyer's corvairs years ago and the guy neglected to mention that before I told someone to sue me (so they would pursue the other party on the loan) I should get a new bank...

He is in a 29 gallon tank, he was in a 100 gallon community tank before. I've had others of his species and they seem to like to munch baby fish which is why he is by himself, he was in with about 14 Buenos Aires Tetras in my darkened 55, and he always hid in the corner, he seems to be a lot...

I'd imagine he had other things on his mind. Probably wouldn't take it personal

No baby fish for him to eat, probably no snails either but I do have fish food and he doesn't eat plants.... Both he and a lot of the plants are refugees from the 100 gallon.

I would want to dig for opals in Australia. Guess I will have to settle for digging for quartz crystals in Arkansas again.
