Well, I turn fifty in a couple weeks, and I'm doing an 18k mountain trail race to celebrate this latest trip around the sun. Went out and did the route yesterday. WHEEEEEEEEW, that was tough. I've done some races that I thought had some ruthless climbs, but nothing like this. Eleven miles, all but a half mile or so on steep, rocky, technical trails. I was digging deep the last four miles or so, and I'm not wanting to do much of anything very fast today.

But it was cool, the wild flowers are psychedelically colorful, set in vivid green meadows under snowy peaks and moody thunderclouds. I wanted to take some pictures to share with all of you, but I'm afraid I was too busy trying not to die. So you'll have to use your imaginations. ha ha

Insane! Do keep us posted!

Back from my second day at work, actually served customers today instead of just watching at my co-workers' sides. My new plec's still doing well, not very active but what can you expect from a pleco? - Especially a new one.

In other news, it's finally June! Me and PK's birthdays will be coming up soon, and I'm sure we'll both be expecting a cake! Super hot out today, got up to 26c outside and a little hotter in the shop. Excited for summer so we can get the pool out at long last.

That’s exciting! Glad the pleco is still doing well!

Woohoo!

Ooo that’s a nice temperature! It got up to 90 degrees (in Fahrenheit) a week or two ago here! Already got the pool all set up, my sisters and I have been swimming at least 6 different days by now

I actually start withering away at anything above 16c. 15 is acceptable, but the second that thermometer goes up to 16 or over, I instantly turn into a darn raisin. My half-ginger white boy skin doesn't help my case either... I burn up so quickly! But I suppose the tan it gives me is a nice payoff.

Definitely not, especially since you just got him.

YES!

Finally, a phone! All I want for my birthday is to get a phone and money. (Money for my fish tanks, of course)

My 29g is an absolute money drainer - spent $700 on it so far...

Oh wow, $700?? That's a lot!! Think that's how much I've spent on all my collections in total actually.

Do you get a phone for your birthday? Or are you just hoping for one?

LOL 26C, I really have to find the picture of the thermometer when it was 46C in the shade.

Woooooow that’s a lot! But I guess I spent more than that on my rabbits, and about that much between my 2 tanks

Is there a certain age your parents let you have a phone? My aunt And uncle gave my cousins each a phone when they turned 13, lucky kids.

Mine too! Just eleven more shopping days until the Badger turns 50!

I don't live in the depths of hell, unlike the Australians and Texans of this forum. 26 is pretty hot, especially for my area!

It's settled, June is the best month for birthdays!

Not half-ginger, but very fair and 16 is the hottest I can cope...today has been murder to cope with...
@Colin_T ...46 c....I’d be nothing but an exhausted puddle I think I’m the only person I know that chooses a summer holiday location by how little heat/sun there will be (Scotland is usually a safe bet)

Yup! I guarantee you I’ll reach 1k soon.

I guesstimate I’ve spent around $200 on my 20g long, and $120 on my 10g tank.

I’m considering selling the 20g to help fund the 29g. I also want to sell it, so I have less fish to move when I move to PA at the end of this year.

Do you get a phone for your birthday? Or are you just hoping for one?

Ehhh... I’m not sure to be honest.

My dad asked what I wanted for my birthday last night, and I said, “A phone and money”. And he said, “A phone and money? Easy”.

So... maybe? Also, my mom said I could look for a phone today when we went to Best Buy, but we didn’t have time.

I’m really hoping for one!

Yes, at 16. But I might get one for Christmas, I’m not 100% sure yet.

The whole reason for waiting until I’m 16, is: 1) the responsibility, and 2) because I will be driving after I turn 16, and need a way of communication.
