Had to take a break and pack a flake food order. There's a lot going on in the fish world this morning. And, tomorrow morning is the driftwood distributor meeting.

Gale's still sleeping. She was up late getting ready for a Rockford area craft fair this Saturday. Lately, there's a lot going on in the craft fair world, too. LOL

Pot #1 could be gone before she gets up.

Yawn...Coffee is working now....I think I'm waking up!  :D

Yesterday the fog never lifted the entire day here...! This happens once in a long while. Usually in the fall the fog stays around until afternoon then lifts.

Looks like today is going to be clear in the morning and low temps (20's right now) then clouds moving in later for rain tomorrow. With the clouds it usually warms a little.

Got a few detail things to do today for some home sales. I have 4 pending sales right now. Just working through the process on each of them. This was only supposed to be part-time!

Just ordered 10 Hydro Pro V sponge filters from Foster & Smith. Could have gotten them from Jehmco for about the same price but they charge for shipping. That's all I needed.

You guys should switch to Stephan's Cubefilters.  They move more water and don't wear out.... at least I haven't worn any out in the 6 years I've been using them.  http://www.swisstropicals.com/filtration-shop/cubefilter-shop/ (http://www.swisstropicals.com/filtration-shop/cubefilter-shop/)

I have some of those too but I got the Hydro Pro V for about the same price with a coupon. The Hydro Pro's move a lot of water. Much more than the regular Hydros and I have a bunch of parts I bought for 5 bucks at a GCCA swap.

That's probably best,  I don't know anyone who tried Stephan's filters that didn't end up changing ALL their filters over to his.....  Ted Judy, Mike Hellweg, Hans, Frank Greco, Gary Lange, Rusty Wessel, etc.....  LOL
