Title: Good Afternoon Tuesday
Post by: wsantia1 on October 06, 2020, 11:48:54 AM
Hey everybody. Just hanging out in the fishroom today. Finished working with the shrimp tanks and now I'm getting ready to start the fish tanks.

It is a beautiful fall day with the current temp at 67 degrees under partly sunny skies with a light breeze. I will probably go sit outside for a bit before I start working on the fish tanks.

Good afternoon, Willie,  I did 2 dogs this morning then ran to the feed store for my horse.  This is the second feed store I have tried since the one I'd been using for 45 years closed.  Their price for Save Choice Senior was $2.50 more per 50 lb. sack than what I'm used to paying.  They had another complete feed called Triumph which is only 16.50.  I bought one of each to see if my old horse will eat the cheap stuff.  Then I gassed up at my cheap gas place and that's it.

If I get any thing more productive done today I will be surprised.

Hi Willie, Liz and Ron!  I did my usual morning chores around the house, took a bike ride like I try to do each morning.  Then I had to go to the Marine base nearby to get some prescriptions filled.  I was only 15 miles from the beach at that time so I made a surprise unplanned trip to the beach.  Took my little beach chair, a sandwich from Subway, a bottle of water and had a lovely 45 min. sitting with my feet in the ocean while I ate lunch.  The weather was perfect.  I needed this and I feel much better now.

BTW, I have had tank overflows, tipped over buckets, hoses fallen out of tanks, etc.  We all spill water if we are fishkeepers!  My worst was a cracked 125 with water spewing out of the crack all over my living room rug.  That was a bad night.

Barb, that sounds like just the kind of day you've been needing.
