    As far as pdf or calibre, i have to look at where i am marketing and see what they support. I don't feel like printing and shipping books anymore. When etsy gets going for art and restored machines it will be quite enough trouble

    Nothing fancy. I wrote "Keeping Murphy Out of Your Aquarium" in 1996, it's about 74 pages, simple, covers biological filtration, pH, fish temperament choices, a good beginner's book according to the pet store that was using it to train her employees. There are a lot of very advanced aquarists...

    my cat got out last night. Not sure if he hunted, but he was ready to come in for breakfast this morning, which was a great relief. He waited in the back yard safe from coyotes until I got up to let him in. Pond leak to check today then a visit with a granddaughter, and home

    Do you have a Gourami?

    yes, true. the anubias and pothos are surviving in her tank but they are nibbled. Heavily. I lost mine at home in the great neon tetra disease disaster and I have not replaced her. So my plants at home are healthier

    I am sorry you have been thru all this. But I agree with that ornery GP, while you are healing from the SA, take a chaperone with you to the dentist and eye doctor. Just make a day of it if you can and buy them lunch? There is a book I bought for a friend's daughter who had childhood SA to deal...

    Loud air pump?

    is it vibrating up against a hard object? I sometimes put a washcloth or other cloth under mine, but check for what is touching it

    the garage roof was stripped of shingles (except the hips) and tar paper and got new plywood, sistered rafters and waterproof underlayment. Tomorrow the top roll roofing comes. It's too shallow pitched for regular shingles and the situation is resolved. Now the granddaughter and I must find some...

    I've had one grandchild here since Monday afternoon, so no online time. Now I have 3 here and I scarcely see them, although they did come out of the back room when they got hungry. Sushi rolls and tortilla rollups and they have vanished again. They did go outside and count my spiders. Female...

    I technically know how to shift a motorcycle. Been almost 50 years since I drove one myself, but even without the heat, in Dallas Fort Worth, it's dangerous enough in a solid metal pickup. And yes the humidity today is horrible, it got to 104 in Fort Worth and the Temperature Humidity index was...

    I think my office got too hot this week, the tank was at 86 when I came in to do their water change. (heater was also still plugged in, I thought I had unplugged).
