Was in the 50s this morning but they are projecting overnight temps in the 30s by next week. huh Coffee is good. Lots of work to do today starting with water changes and sponge cleaning. Need to pick up another 55 either today or tomorrow. I will be finished with tanks then unless I can find a 125 for cheap somewhere. mim

Drinking hot coffee debating if I should ride my bike now...48 degrees, mild breeze or wait until it reaches 58, sunny and windy. It's been windy here at 18 mph and higher every day for over a week. Makes for a tough ride.

Yesterday I got the unpleasant job of culling done. One pretty 3 yr old angel developed a lip fibroma...it was getting huge...and a few others just weren't thriving. It was no longer pleasant looking at their tanks.  :(  Today the tanks get thoroughly cleaned and I will admire the fruits of my labor. It'll heal my heart.  ;)

Hello from sunny Richmond-area Virginia folks! Good uneventful flight in here Monday. Yesterday was "go and get some dress clothes day"....It's amazing how much the ones in the closet at home have shrunk since I haven't been wearing them!   ??? I believe the correct term for it is "closet-shrink"!  :-\

All's well here at my son's home. It's great to see the grands again. They are a real treat. This is Lucy's first time seeing the youngest.

We're going over to Roanoke on Friday for the funeral Saturday. I hesitate to speak at the funeral service due to the fact that at my Dad's I spoke in behalf of all 3 of us siblings, as we agreed ahead of time, and I spoke from my heart. My younger brother was totally at odds with it after it was over. His growing-up experiences were apparently totally different than my sister's and mine. We had a long unpleasant conversation that evening. It won't happen again. I figure the best way to begin is to state that these are my feelings and remembrances. Hell, screw it...he's always been the black sheep and has a past in which he's estranged himself from the family so many times. Sis won't even talk to him!! What the hell am I concerned about!??  I'll say exactly how I feel about that sweet ol' gal!

Thanks, guys and gals! You had some good advice!  ;D |^|

I get that from time to time from my Dad in my head. I'm not sure whether I'm a believer in the supernatural or not at this point. But this is just great...! Now I'll have both of them in there...!  ???.... ;D
