My dogs got me up to go outside, which is better than pee and poo in the house, I guess.  I'm usually up at this time but today I want to sleep a little longer.  It was a lovely  sleep last night.  But once the dogs are up, I'm up.  They make sure of that.  I need coffee.

More putzing in the fish room. I've got fry tanks to cleanup which is a PITA and I'm cutting up some multi-walled polycarb lids which look like they going to work out.

They do a great job of trapping the moisture in the tank and are light and easy to clean. They don't seem to warp and they don't break. I guess I will order some handles for them today.

Going to finish up my fish room project.  There are more things I have to do and would love to do outside on this beautiful day.  We'll see how much I have left in my body when I am done with all that bending into positions that are hard for me.  I sure do miss being Wonder Woman on days like today.

...you can silicon glue some marbles to them and they make good inexpensive handles...

Get some Plastic picture hangers at Wally World. They make pretty good handles and they come with the double sticky tape. You can get big ones and little ones. Not too expensive either.

I ain't gonna make it to the fish room to finish my project.  I don't know where the day has gone so far.  I had a dog I told the guy to give me time to get dressed then come on.  He must think it takes me a long time to get dressed.  I had time to play outside as well as eat a fried eggs with toast.  I never eat breakfast but I was craving food.

It's almost 2:30 now and I'm cooking a nice well balanced American style meal of meat loaf, mixed veggies and my wonderful roast potatoes.
