....coffee is outstanding this morn'n.....

We're going through the last 'prep' for the 'cast of thousands' expected later this morning.....it's always a fun day for everyone  |^|

It'll be cooler today, temps in the 30's...perfect...we can crack a window, because with all the cooking and family, it'll get warm in here..
There will be some moisture moving thru later this afternoon, and I'm still hoping for some Xmas snow.... ;D

Raining very hard here with temps already in the 70s. We may go as high as 76 degrees. We will have some clearing for a while but then another round of showers later today. huh

I took Kobe to the kennel and I have water changes to do before I get started on my journey up and down the Northeast corridor. I plan to leave at 0600 tomorrow. mim Oh, I have to pop a roast pork in the oven too. |^|

Coffee is great. There will be at least 1 more pot of this magnificent stuff to consume. |^| |^| |^| w!w

Well the water changes triggered two spawns. My pure Koi from Jon & Ed are spawning right now in their own tank and a Koi x Koi Paraiba pair in the community tank spawned a little while ago. They always spawn on the lift tube and the eggs don't last the night. lol  mim

The pure Koi pair are Parent Raisers but have been goofballs the last couple of times. I made sure that they are the only fish in that tank after the last spawn disappeared. huh

It's always either feast of famine with me.  Right now it's feast.  As usual it went from famine to feast from one day to the next.  I'm taking advantage of it and me makes me feel good.  When I need something I can afford to get it :o  It'll change back in a moment at some point.  I'm used to it. I know I can handle either.

Big bad weather in Ellisville.  The worst was 12 miles north of my house.  I'll have to check the shop tomorrow.  All we've had here is torrential rains and high winds.  This kind of weather in December is unprecedented.
Always move forward. Never look back.
