I have faced my mortality, stared t down and accepted my physical vulnerabilities. There is no way I can undertake my original fish room plan without expensive help. After much soul searching and talking the situation over with Linda we will be making some changes. Simply put, until my leg...

Gotta love those barn finds. Eldest son pulled into the driveway about a year and a half ago followed by a flatbed truck. On the truck an old Ford Edsel. Asked him what was happening, and he said he purchased the car in North Carolina and knew I had always talked about owning one. Here you go he...

2 inches of snow here. By the time decided to get around to clearing the walks and drives it was half gone. We cleaned the drive at the roadway with shovels to avoid a frozen lump but decided to wait and see if the coming hot spell, over 40F, will melt the rest. If not, we will remove it. The...

Turned a couple dozen North Poles and now sit in the pond house sanding them while watching birds and football. The space heater is maintaining a comfortable temperature. Linda made many cookies. I borrowed a few.

The thick white object?

Linda had believed her to be bred. She had been put in the breeding tank with another Dalmatian, (purchased not home raised), for that purpose. After a couple weeks she was put back into her home tank. This was about 4 or 5 weeks ago, I think. Linda is shopping baking supplies, and I cannot...

It is not. It is a dalmation type raised from fry by Linda.

No church today, the buiding is in a no heat situation. Linda and I brought our two construction torpedo heaters over and put one in the basement and the other where the bathrooms are. That is as close to service as we get today. After dropping them when to Denny's for a Grand Slam. Now home...

This morning, we found a fish had left this mortal coil. Last night all residents were acting normally including the one pictured. The death was very sudden. This was also found next to body The water parameters were checked this morning Temp 78F Amm 0 Nitrate 0 Nitrate 5 - 10 Hardness...

Yes the Air Force and Coast Guard also have teams. In that these are all domestic teams the CIA is not allowed to operate so long as the team does not play internationally. However, the FBI is another story, as well as (in)Homeland Security. FYI --- The heyday of Army and Navy teams was 40's...

Took them apart.

As beginners we cycled, put some stuff in the tank that pleased us, then plopped some fish in. We are responsible for killing more than a few. Over time we have learned some and are learning more. As we begin moving tanks around, we will be trying to make the glass habitat closer to what the...

Me too! Army Navy game. I root for Army but have a soft spot for Navy because of my son. Still favor Army though just keep it to myself. Had what seemed like hours of tests yesterday and recovering a bit from them today. Did the treadmill thing to check my heart. I apparently have one because...

Perhaps loaches can become my solution.

We hope they pair. If they do each, pair will have its own tank, (with appropriate mates).

and ,, Happy Birthday

We think the angels are beautiful to look at an observe. We have one, (started with two) that we bought from the fish store. She was dime sized and is now large, maybe silver dollar. So graceful and she eats snails right of our fingers. A real delight. She is becoming a bit aggressive with her...

and there goes the fish room .... right to the basement.

She, notice I say she not I, will raise them for a bit in the 29. Sometime early next year the 90- gallon and 44-gallon tanks will be ready. Her intent is for two angels in each if we are lucky enough to have them pair. The remaining two will be rehomed. She has plans ... OMG she has plans so...

As we are leaving church today Linda says, "let's go for a ride, I'll drive." I, never question a Spartan Lady, so off we go, her behind the wheel. After a coffee stop, she asks me to drive because we had a morning snow, and she does not like driving on a slippery road. After getting an address...

Maybe more hope so than think so. He is a defensive gem and a dangerous, id sporadic, hitter.

Construction projects on hold for a bit. Need some medical attention to my leg according to a preliminary test. Next up a scan by a vascular surgeon. The joys of aging abound.

Back from sabbatical. After our short road trip I decided it was time to have a problem with my legs checked. The health insurance company sent a doctor to our home, a once-a-year benefit, I had never before used. I have had severe evening cramping in my feet and ankles for several months...

I think Bellinger is going back to LA. I think that will be their last big$ signing.

Smokey here. Brush fires about 75 miles south and west. Sunday and Monday were like heavy fog. Tuesday not as bad but today they declared a red flag day. Should call it a grey flag day. We can taste the smoke outdoors. Told Linda we should hang a steak on a hook outside.

My brother appeared unannounced over the weekend with a used mobile home oil furnace and 275-gallon oil tank, (he owns a HVAC business). Said the furnace was only a couple years old and the tank was in good condition. He also said he was tired of my whining about the woodworking shop be drafty...

An unexpected rainstorm as I type. It is supposed to clear up and then our Indian Summer begins. Mid 60's to high 70's for the rest of the week. :banana: Today's plan is to cover the RV for the winter and put the leaf net over the pond. The net will be temporary and will be removed after the...

Depends on which end of that score I am on.

The money is a mixed bag from the fan’s pov. I remember rooting for Curt Flood when he fought to be free of ownership. Now I bemoan the lack of mutual loyalty between owner and player. At least the Dodgers are signing their core long term.

Oh, I am a Dodger fan. Been one since the days of Da Bums of Brooklyn. Happy for another title, just not a fan of the mercenary tenor of today's game. Then again it probably beats the indentured servant era of the past.

Yeah Dodgers. I am a big fan but was subdued about it this year. I also admired how they grew their talent. This year they bought it. Soto ... He is a mercenary plain and simple. That is the reality of the game.

Our not so local fish store, hereinafter and forever more to be referred to the NSLFS, is willing to order what we want so long as we are willing to wait a reasonable time. Have not availed ourselves of this yet but soon will. Of course, what is a reasonable time. Subjective for sure.
