What are you doing today?

Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane, Leonard Cohen. Your family is a celebrity magnet!
 
Any children or grandkids to lug the water for you? Neighbor kids?
 
A bit young for that at the moment. Only 22 this year 😂. I suppose the neighbors kids could be put to work..
Naw - at 22 you should be lugging those 40 gallon pails of water without any issues ;)

Being an old timer i put my 40 gallon on wheels so i can just roll it !
 
I won't be able to lift that amount 😂. 20L is enough for three flights of stairs! anymore I'd have no arms.

I developed a hose a clamp system for the upstairs office aquarium I used to take care of that only had a tiny kitchen sink. Ran the dirty water off the balcony into a courtyard. when I first took the account it was on the condition that the guys that worked in that engineering office hauled the water up stairs, since it took 4 5-gallon jugs to do a water change on that tank And it was a 125 that really wasn't enough
 
Today picked up a wheel I had a snow tire mounted onto, then delivered some 1990s Jeep dealer parts books to a friend, then headed toward my favorite fish store then my phone told me they are CLOSED on Tuesdays, after driving about 45 minutes. At least it was EAST, which was the direction I had to head to get home anyway!

Also blew through a toll after remembering I was in my boyfriend's Crown Vic, not mine with the Speed Pass in it. The two cars are exact twins, only one has 140,000 miles and the other 180,000 and rust!
 
I went to the bank, took truck to the shop, went to a Carpentry sort of store to buy veneer with a friend, then fed the bees and checked the sticky boards. No varroa mites. It's been at least a month. I am pleased. And I chased the robbing hive off with a good old fashioned water sprinkler and their screens, a couple of weeks ago. There is peace in the apiary. And the truck has brakes again
 
I did 3 hours of water changes ! See:

I think it looks sick right now. Right up my alley. I hope you give it another try in two months when we once again accept entries for 17-30 gallons.
Naw; people don't want tanks from a newbie; they want one from an expert ;)
