[wsantia1]

The coffee is great once again. It is another gloomy morning with clouds hanging overhead for at least the rest of the morning.

It supposed to get sunny around 3:00 pm ans then we will see a drastic change for the next couple of days with sunny skies and temps in the high 70s into the 80s.

Going to break down my 75g today. I want to take that to the new house this weekend to temporarily set it up for the Altums until I can get their 150g over there.

I'll set up a few of my 29s for the rest of the fish until I can move the rest of my tanks over.

A few showers... nice unless the winds starts up.

Can you guys rely on rain to keep the garden watered in that part of the world? Nothing here would survive without constant irrigation. I have to start turning water out this week to flood the fields -- summer chores begin.

In a normal year I don't have to water anything.  Last year was bad.  It was dry for so long that even huge magnolia trees are dead in the woods.  So far so good this year...

Have to water almost everyday when it's in the 90s morn and night
