Taking 6 adult koi to the tank at the shop and after work taking 15 adult koi and 6 adult half blacks to my lfs.  I need the tank space so I gave him a huge deal. 

Moving the fry from the pair that belongs to the Josh who is not our Josh from the 60 wide to a 120.  Just this evening I moved my keeper pair with their fry from a 40 to a 60 wide.

Pouring rain here since noon yesterday, hope it lets up soon.  Just more packing up, throwing out stuff, and looking around at all the work ahead of me in the coming month.  And trying hard not to get hurt or sick.  Our new house is all finished, we can start moving Thurs. eve.

Naw, just said he could have it.  He is the one I gave my 6 Koi to, that went to a local med. center pond.  His LFS struggles since Pet Smart opened right across the street from him, a few years ago.

I got rid of a bunch of fish, most for real cheap, but it made tank space.  I had too many fry from the pair that belongs to the Josh that is not our Josh in a 60 wide that I was able to move to a 120.  I was able to divide the HB adults into 2 100's.  15 fish in each tank isn't bad.  I'll just change more water.

My weekend is part of Saturday, all of Sunday and all of Monday. The son of this totally PITA 83 year old woman who I visit came to the shop today and told me that she had fallen, broken her leg and was in the hospital.  I'll go see her tomorrow.  She's in a recovery place after her surgery that's only about 45 minutes from here.  Monday I will be on a mission to find out why I can't down load pics from my camera to my computer.  There are 3 possibilities.  I'm hoping that the least expensive thing (the card reader) has gone bad.

....cord??.....wiggle it..... ;D....contacts may be loose....?
Title: Re: Any weekend plans??
Post by: LizStreithorst on January 24, 2015, 06:53:50 PM
No no no.  I already know that the plug in thing to the USB to the computer doesn't work.  I wiggled for weeks before it gave up the ghost.  That's why I got the card reader.

I think that what is wrong now is either the card reader or the card iteslf.  I'll find out Monday.  What I really need is a good reconditioned camera body and perhaps a new card.  It's on my list, but I prefer to make what I have now work if I can.

I worked with a new client today. We'll list her house next month.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 75g setup with a canopy and stand. If it's not scratched i'm gonna buy it. The stand and canopy are natural oak. I'll be strip and stain or paint it black or coffee color.

Barb...good luck with the upcoming move.

I've noticed quite a few used 75 setups on the market lately....canopy's and all....saw one with a sump too the other day......and one in chrome  ;D
Title: Re: Any weekend plans??
Post by: Ron Sower on January 25, 2015, 12:07:19 PM
I lied to you all..... But it was an accident. It's a 65g, with the same footprint as a 75g. I want it becausev it's shorter by 2", and I can get more light to the surface of the substrate for my plants.

And yes, I've noticed several 75s listed in CL lately. That is a nice sized tank.

I'll be on my way in about 30 mins.

Ron...did plans with Ducky get put on the back burner?  A 65 with a canopy, et al....nice!  :)
Title: Re: Any weekend plans??
Post by: Ron Sower on January 25, 2015, 10:57:57 PM
Well, to answer your question, Pauline, now is not the time for me to get to working on Ducky due to the rain.  I will get into it soon I guess.

Mugs, it was what I wanted. Some minor scratches in the lower section that will be mostly covered by substrate, solid oak stand and matching canopy. The canopy was constructed by the owner who was a plant enthusiast and a former Phillips lighting sales rep. Needless to say he rigged the canopy well for growing plants...AND...he included about 3 dozen flo tubes with different Kelvin temps for great spectrum. Miss Lucy has been working on some refinishing projects and she has been researching several finishes that can be applied without complete stripping. We're going to stain it a Java or chocolate brown to match other furniture it will be near.

Anyway, I got the setup for $150, and I was happy with that.

I'm sure that it will be a fantastic set up when you're finished with it...take pics of before, and after....

Sounds like a nice set up Ron.

I got all my stuff done.  The day was delightful in the morning.  The camera store determined that my problem was with my card reader.  That was great news.  On the way to visit my adopeted old lady who's in the hospital I stopped at the veterinary hospital where I had my business for years and visited with the veterinarians I used to work with.  It was very good.

The afternoon absolutely sucked. 

In the evening when I got my computer to communicate with my camera in my favorite photo editing program, things got much better.  The card reader may not have been bad after all.  Old Faithful had a problem.  I can't believe I got it back working, but I did it :) :)

Wonder what tomorrow holds ::)
