Having coffee at the moment. Next will be going to visit Doug's Mom in the hospital. It's something with her heart...no details yet...but even at 88 she's a strong woman and bounces back from these episodes. She's an amazing woman.

  I slept later than normal. Coffee was extremely good today.  Instead of the French Van Creamer and caramel sauce I usually have in it I had it black and ate a Hershey bar with almonds very slowly with it. Breakfast of this champion anyway..!  |^|

Heading into Seattle today to buy (for a pittance) a 9g tank with some Ember Tetras. The fellow is heading back to Canada and doesn't want to take the equipment and livestock with him. All I really want are the tetras to go with the group I already have. I'll give the tank and any equipment to a kid or someone, or put it in the club monthly auction next week.

Leaving his house I'll go to another member's LFS, Aquarium Zen, and pick up some new plants. I'll probably spend an hour there just looking at his shop. This guy has amazing aquaria chock full of wonderful plants. I think he has CO2 in almost every tank.  Check it out....  http://www.aquariumzen.net/#intro. Scroll down to see photos of his shop. His home used to look the same..!!

He sure does have nice plants.....CO2 helps a lot too....especially if you're not dealing with a lot of fish.....

Got the house looking spiffy and had a nice bath.  Now to do WC which I skipped yesterday :-[  and clean up the mess in the fish room.  All it really needs is a good sweeping and a little tidying.

It will be up to him.  He mentioned perhaps driving in to Hattiesburg or I can cook for him.
