..pot of bean soup today...some corn bread....chopped onions....yum...

some fry water changes, etc..and tidying up in the fish room...a few tunes...and more coffee  ;D

I need to make up a box to ship overnight downtown on Tues..I think I have enough insulation left....Speedee Delivery is very good on local next day shipments...and very reasonable too...they built their reputation on it...great outfit  |^|...

Anyone heard when the USPS will start full weekend delivery's for the season?..I'm not shipping anymore now till after the Holidays, but just curious...

Yes a great cup of coffee here too. Temps are at the coldest they've been this season. Low was 28 this morning. It is going up to 54 and will be sunny with no wind later. That is great. |^| |^| |^|

I will probably do some beef stew today (meat thawing out) and the Jets vs. Giants are on today. That will be a big game around here and all the way up and down the I-95 corridor between NY and DC. mim mim mim

Will check on Koi spawn here soon. This pair has proven that they don't need my help. I left the light on for them last night though. :-\

I will do house cleaning and laundry today and focus on water changes and fishroom cleaning tomorrow unless something (as usual) needs immediate attention today.  8)

I actually ate breakfast today.  I never do that!  3 strips of bacon and an egg over medium cooked in butter :o  I've tidied the house.  One more load of laundry left to do.

Boy did I ever move fish!  Separated 2 more pairs to breeding tanks.  That made it possible for me to move my keeper half backs and HB blue silver crosses from a 75 to a 100 and the non keeper HBs to the 75.  Then I saw a pair of keeper HB's forming.  That gave me few enough fish to enable me to separate the crosses from the keepers in to 60's which in turn made is possible to move my assorted blue's into the 100. 

I still have tank wipe downs to do. I always do a huge WC after wipe downs because of all the brown algae and debris in the water column.  I want to get the pot roast going, too.  Charlotte will have to wait until tomorrow.

It's gorgeous here.  66 degrees and mostly sunny ;D 

I just caught another pair of HB's pecking at the cone and put them in the last open breeding tank.

Pot Roast in the oven :)  It will take 4 hours to cook in a 275 oven.  Now for what I've been looking most forward to. wipe downs and WC.

Know what I found out today?  When I eat I have energy and a desire to do stuff.  You'd think that by my age I'd have figured that out.  I think that I knew it once and then forgot ::)

It's strange...I dream about cooking and I love collecting recipes.  I have never liked breakfast and I have never liked stopping work in the middle of the day to eat.  After work I drink beer which fills me up.  Generally I don't eat until I get the feeling that if I don't eat I won't live huh  I will try to change my ways.
