I just spent the last 30 minutes reading that stuff and looking up some things about it. I wasn't until 5 years later LOL. Heckuva year.
What are you doing today?

I’ve been busier than a cat burying dung all week . Fixed the toilet Tuesday , it needed a new fill valve , went grocery shopping yesterday and I have to clean house this morning because the wife’s knitting group is descending on us today . Got up early and got a pot of soup going for supper and I’ll be feeding the fish here in a few minutes and then going out for the daily run . It’s never anything big but just something to do all the time . Could be worse but I would like a lazy day pretty soon .
-5C outside. 17C in bedroom. I bought a heating blanket and heating mattress cover yesterday. We were toasty sandwiched between the two heating elements.

Right at zero F this morning. A hat wouldn't have been a terrible idea for the walk to school. Couldn't really move my face by the time I got here. Nothing like setting a good example for the kids. ha ha
I posted it to facebook.
We pause for a brief commercial:

Putting a new deck on my trailer, actually took old one off first. No time for pet of the month this month, will try to remember to vote.

Well, I got a haircut today. 8 inches off; I wonder if I've lost weight...wouldn't that be nice?

You have definitely lost weight. I can tell by your profile letter. It's noticeably slimmer. I bet you feel great.

I had a dream last night that my big frog reappeared. She was hungry. She disappeared in early December and I don't hold out hope for her...but I'll look extra carefully during today's water change.

I was moving a pair of Parananochromis from a growout to a new breeding tank this morning, when the female launched herself out of the net, onto the cement floor. From my height, that was a fair drop, and when I picked her up, she was limp and not breathing.
I got her into the water and did fish cpr (you hold them, and move them backwards so the water movement opens and closes the gills). After a few sequences, she began to breathe weakly. I left her submerged in the net, and put one of those breeder boxes with air driven flow onto the tank. She went into it, and rolled about, upside down more often than not, for about 20 minutes. Then she recovered her equilibrium. I gave her about an hour, then moved her to the attached 20 gallon.
I don't know if I have a brain damaged fish ... she is more trusting than she has been in her life. She's swimming around like everything in the world is new and wonderful, even the grouchy male. They are F-1 youngsters really, unlikely to get into breeding mode for a week or two. It's normally a cautious little dwarf Cichlid, prone to using cover and shadows all the time. She's out there in the bright open water, acting like she should have a big goofy smile on her face.
Her swimming's good, and motor control seems to be back. Let's see how this works itself out.

I didn’t know you were a snake charmer!
Absolutely adore them!! I met a scaleless corn snake and she was so beautiful and had such soft skin! I wanted to get her so badly! Loll
