No dogs today so I went the hardware store for the trim pieces I need plus a gallon of lighter green paint.  I put the first coat of primer on the trim.  After I cool off a bit (it feels like 100 out there with the heat index)  I'll put the plastic wood in the cracks of the piece I had to patch.  After that I'll be done outside, thank God.

I got all 42 of my sponges squeezed.  I that that job.  I did it differently this time.  I added tap water to a 55 gallon drum, added declor, removed sponges from the tanks, put them in a bucket, and then move them to the drum.  The water was so filthy in the drum that I changed it 3 times!  Now that I've figured out the easy way I hope I don't wait so long between squeezings.

I still need to eat and change water but I have to sit and keep an eagle eye on an auction I'm bidding on.  The fish I want have already been bid up to what I expected to pay but I really really want these fish in a big way.

Cool. Do you have to wrangle with the guy over shipping?

[LizStreithorst]

he doesn't arrive delivery but he said that the guy how does his shipping for him knows has been shipping for years.  I opted for express because the fish are so valuable to me.

Y'all will have to console me big time if the fish arrive dead.
