Make Treasury Secretary and I will print enough money for all your arial wishes.

I have two sons. They rarely provided more power than they consumed.

We toyed with backup generator back when we raised all our food. In fall three freezers were full. Instead opted for two portable since upgraded to two inverted. All appliances are plug in from freezers to water pump to Navien boiler. It is a bit of a chore alternating from one power gobbler to...

Was supposed to start snowing here about 10PM so I rose at 1 thinking I would clear the drive before too much accumulated. No snow, no sleet, nope not even rain so far. Weather guru is still saying 8 inches but unless there is a temp dive from the current 38f it seems unlikely. Local power...

Filter is TopFin 40 sized for the tank. Sponge is driven by tetra pump dual outlet. Water change of about 25 percent every four days. Gravel vac every third water change Since original question I have put Seachem in the HOB, added a sponge to the HOB drop leg and changed the sponge filter to a...

You take the band. I want Air Force One.

Hey back at ya

Gold Fish in the pond were active as a group for the first time in a while yesterday. Linda fed them some low protein pellets that they attacked like they had not been fed since late fall. Actually, that is exactly the case. They looked excellent and all five were accounted for. They grew a bit...

20 Aqueon that is still under construction. This is a first effort at trying to focus on Aqua scaping. Currently a TopFin 20 sponge filter that was seeded for about 4 weeks. Also, a bag of media that hung out at the bottom of a cycled tank for an equal period. Rocks were picked up at the local...

Species tank it is. Saw these little fellas at the not so lfs last week and we both became enamored. They were so darn busy and seemed to flash as they skitted about. The color was a stunning blue on what I was told were the males.

That is one tall 🧒

Youngest son 12 lb 4 ounce. Perhaps why Linda said that is all folks.

The Pack is back. :banana:

I feel your pain.

Thank You for the input. We are OK with a single species if that is best for the fish. Male to Female ratio? Three to one?

We have a 10 gallon that is being used for fry. About 20 in it. Set up a 20 gallon that the lady wants to use for this purpose going forward. The current fry will be moved into that when it is ready. I would like to use the 10 for Celestial Danios, hoping 10 will be not too many. Would adding...

I am swearing at the weather. Maybe I will blame it on them. Then I can swear some more.

Waterfall rebuild not going well. The hill is frozen unlike the ground around the pond. Spent a lot of energy prying rocks then chinking out the fill. Knocked the top 24 inches or so down then spread the debris on black landscape fabric. Today I went out and crumbled it. Beat the rain. Linda is...

I am very happy the Dodgers are 5-2. The big three is really big so far ..... BUT I just can not get excited about this team. The Dodger farm system has always been their bread and butter and it was always exciting to see prospects work their to the big show. Now it feels like I am rooting for...

I am retired and it makes not a wit of difference to me. I have my own internal clock that dictates all I do.

Decent weather on tap today so the pond will become the workshop. I have the waterfall half destroyed and will bigin the rebuild with grandsons assistance(?). Last year it was about 4 feet above the waterline and basically a chute to the pond with some rocks to create ripples. Going to rebuild...

Everyone has left except grandson who will be staying with us a couple of days. I was very happy to everyone and we had a nice day. It was 61f so I deep fried the Turkey outdoors. The day has concluded and I am happy to see everyone off.

Lena died some time ago but a foundation was created and it is not only still open but still on Phila St. Tin and Lint is still there too. Gone are the office and the Hub as well as Lillian’s and The Firehouse. Saratoga has lost much of its charm unless one is into large chains and wicked...

Linda and I still go to Cafe Lena

Beautiful!!

Oh.my I do remember the place. Do you remember the Greek at Spa City Diner? Had my first serious date at The Trade Winds.

Chik-A-Fil-A MMmmm Good. We do not normally eat fast food but once a month drive 30 or so miles for one of their chicken meals since they opened last summer. Used to enjoy them while RVing the country but until then none nearby. Now if someone would just open a Popeyes.

Chris finished the electric for me. We now have three 20A ground fault circuits in the room and a third at the North basement wall for the pond area. Linda allowed me to cut wall and put the necessary boxes in so long as they were covered with blank plates, brown wood grain that resembles the...

Dirty not slimy. Water was grayish brown to my eye. Probably normal but it took me by surprise. Probably should not have though.

I whittled a hole in the wood that roughly matched a rocks shape then glued the rock into the crevice.

You must have loved the dodgers of the 60’s. Wills singles, steals 2nd , Willie Davis bunts home to third and Tommie Davis singles him home. Oh yeah, and one of the big three pitchers throws a complete game.

Just returned home from the not so lfs. Bought the Seachem, sponge filters and prefilters. Got clipped by another driver on the way home. Took my telescoping electronic towing mirror off and scratched my door. Young fella sped around UPS truck that was parked half in his lane. I moved as far...

That looks like powerful stuff.

Thank You

I would like to do that. Is there an equation to arrive at size or quantity per gallon. Or is it more a function of air volume.

On the discharge side of the bag of carbon is a plastic plate with holes. Is that the bio pad. Sorry for my ignorance.

This is practically my back yard and Linda and I will attend. There is also a show, not cats, this weekend in Burlington. It will be our first. Guess that sounds like a virgin on first date
