One day over the hump day!

[Ron Sower]

Hi all,

It's 73 and going to 89 today. Looks like sunny skies out there now. Cacti all around are blooming! Lovely flowers.

I picked up a bunch of fish and shrimp Monday and yesterday my LFS customer came and bought most of them. It's a nice order and basically pays the cost of my order. I do make a smaller profit on his purchases. The rest is pretty much pure profit unless they hang around a long time. I debate with myself often whether to let him take all of everything or hold back some for higher margin sales. But, then, he's a customer right there in front of me!

We're leaving tomorrow for our Sedona trip and the four hour train excursion. The couple  we're going with are celebrating their 43rd anniversary. They like to play card games in the evening, so that will be fun. We'll be back Monday evening.

Liz, do you ever play online Scrabble type games? I play Words With Friends and Upwards almost every day. I could send you an invite if you want to play.

What are you folks doing today?

Hi Ron and everyone. Liz, I hope your recovery is going well. It is a typical July day here with the current temp at 90 degrees under a bright sunny day. We had a whole bunch of rain at the beginning of April but since then it has been bone dry and my grass is turning brown.

I haven't even set up my water hoses yet because I usually don't do that until July. I would have done it already but the weather people have been forecasting cooler weather with rain but so far they have been wrong this whole week. Before this mini heat wave began we had a frost warning. 

So far I spent my day working in the fishroom and taking Kobe on mini walks around the outside of the house where their is some shady areas. We can't stay out long and when we do the wasp come out of hiding and run us back into the house. I will be getting some of that long distance wasp spray tomorrow because I will not allow them to prevent me from enjoying this house.

I finally decided that I will start breaking down the tanks in the fishroom that I am no longer using. I've been allowing them to run empty in case I ever needed them but there's no point in doing that now. I have enough fish for maybe tanks so that's what I'll run.   

This post has frozen up on my but I managed to save the post without losing the content.  Have a great evening everyone.
