Title: Saturdays coffee....
Post by: Mugwump on February 20, 2016, 05:25:47 AM
...the coffee is great this morn'n.....another mid 50 day, but without the 'hellashish' winds....just sunny and warm.. ;D ..

we'll need to pick up the yard a bit and give the place a once over for possible damage...that wind did blow the trellis away from the blackberry vines, so we'll have to get that squared away ....not much trash here despite all of it that blew up the street...yesterday was trash pick up day, and yup..there were more than a few cans blown over...


...but first some fry water changes and putz'n in the fish room ....

Just started pot # 1. Been getting good sleep lately so I have been taking advantage of it. ;D ;D ;D Going up into the 60s today but with some wind. Not the kind of wind that was in Chicagoland yesterday though.

Going to do WCs on fry and Altum tanks today. The rest will wait until tomorrow. I also have to freshen up some worm cultures.

...If it ever gets close to 60 again here, I'll have the fish room wide open and air it out really good....that always sets off a few pairs too.... ;D

The Koi pair that I recently fattened up spit out a nice size spawn yesterday. Only a couple of whities so far. I don't trust them anymore though. Decisions. decisions.  huh lol

If they pop nice offspring, pull and cull down to perhaps 20 of the very best for futures?....hopefully some sweet females |^|

Morning guys!  Woke up early again today but not quite as early as yesterday.  Looks like cloudy and hi of 51 here today. Looking for that sun to pop out some on Monday. Rain tomorrow.

We have 18 tables committed for the swap tomorrow. That will cover the room rent for me!   I've got a lot of old but good stuff I'm clearing out. It doesn't get used any more since I've downsized. Besides, if I need it in the future, there'll be more swaps and the club auctions too!

Also have a listing appointment to go to today at 10AM. Then work on swap stuff.

Going to do WCs on fry and Altum tanks today. The rest will wait until tomorrow. I also have to freshen up some worm cultures.

I had to do all my water changes today because my lady friend ( Vikki ) decided that we had something to do tomorrow. What that is I don't know.  ::)

I managed to do all the tanks, move a pair of Blue Marbles into a breeding tank and pull a Koi spawn while cleaning up the big mess I made by taking my eyes off of the hose filling up a 55. I only spilled 2.5 gallons but some of it got on my carpet strips so I had to pull them off the floor and put them out on the deck until they dry.  huh

I am now tired but still have to clean the blackworms and feed everything.  :o
