Dentist this morning, then I'll call the LFS and see if they need fishies.  Later, hauling more branches to the burn pile and repairing the 100 gallon that's sitting in the middle of the fish room floor.

Raining here too. Mostly scattered T-Storms but we just finished getting hit with one. One good thing is that no temps will be in the 90s this week. The scattered storms will be here most of the week tho.

I have to go to DC today to check out my "off-site" (girl friend's son) tank. Will bring along a couple of the Koi to stock. He is doing pretty good with the tank so far. I will hit the road after rush hour is over. Coffee is excellant. Need more.

Just returned from taking my car to the body shop. Hubby backed into a planter in a parking lot. I guess he forgot about the rear view camera. Old age does that to some folks...

...I'd prefer to think that dang planter just jumped out in front of him....blasted planters will do that sometimes

Right....that's what he said.

Hi everybody, hot as H-ll here.  It has been up to 100 everyday recently and all this week too. Jon, can you hold the fish until it cools off a bit?  Can you check the price of UPS next day please?  It may be my only way to get the fish alive.  I will pay of course.  I have had angels sent by UPS next day and they did ok.

Hi is supposed to be 83 on Thursday so if you ship tomorrow, they should be fine.  There will be some T-Storms tho.

Great.....I'll be watching for forecast changes too....

My boxes are all going to cooler weather this week, upstate New York and North Dakota.  Cooler here this week after today's 90 with temps in the low 80's the rest of the week.

A little better with the rain collection last night.  Had about 100 gallons this morning with more rain promised for later today.  If it cools off, I might set-up some fish for spawning.  I'd like to have Devario acrostomus, D. assamensis, and D. xyrops for the fall season.  Matbe some Danio kerri too.  I haven't raised any of these this year.....

Those are pretty....kind of a 'mother of pearl' look.....

Thanks Jon.  At one time, these were a darling of the hobby, but are rarely seen anymore.

I have run out of things to do...Dentist done, LFS didn't need fish, got all the branches that weren't stuck under big trees,  did tank wipe down, changed Magnum filters.  I still need do do WC later but until then nothing...I have no choice but to start on the repair of the 100 gallon.  I think I've mentioned before how much I hate starting any new project.  I always get it done right, eventually but the fear of failure is very strong in me.  The damn thing won't fix itself and I don't want it sitting in the middle of the fish room floor until hell freezes over.
