Good morning everyone.... Jeff I feel your pain man! Talk about April fools day... I started work a little after 5 Am yesterday and went home after 8 PM yesterday evening. And since i'm in school and an on line class and I average about 2 to 3 hours homework every day.. guess what I didn't do last night? Gonna try to make it better today though.. Co-worker comes in at 7.. I ahve Dr's appt at 0730.. I'm not coming back today!

Tim that is so awesome that you're going to catch up on your sues.. but the real question is... Are you shipping your Corals too? True healing won't begin until you purge yourself of these habit forming sea dwellers.

Just remember jimcfars reef-a-holics is here for ya man.

Speaking of dues.. hey Cath where are you?

Good mawnin' Jeff, Eric, Austin, Tim, Jim, and all of TRT!!

Dues? I'm waiting to intercept Tim's check as it flies by here on the way to you I need the $$ to buy a load of HA eating snails.

Yeh, I got an email from my sister-in-law up in Winchester, and they are expecting snow today Must be April...here comes the snow...

Jeff! You do need some extra R&R today. But only after your big appologies to your tank buddies.

Lots of love and hugs and a HUGE dose of peace to everyone.

Hello, good morning...


Its raining up here.... supposed to rain pretty much all weekend into next week. *sigh* i guess its ok, rain tends to force me to relax cause i can't do much outside so i don't have to try to figure out how i'll get all the inside the house stuff done so i can go outside, somehow it all works out.

In a little bit i'm going to go back into the basement and make sure all powercords and items of any value are lifted off the floor a few inches in case the basement floods.
its odne it before when we had heavy rain and wind, and thats whats on tap for today....

We're going to waterseal the basement this summer when we can open all the doors and make sure the fumes don't become an issue. The tanks and birds are down there....


Oh, thank God its Friday!

Mornin' all....

Being on vacation is a good feeling. Darn cats felt the need to wake me up at 6 a.m. though....

Spent yesterday on a road trip to a new LFS. Unbelievable prices and great stock. We ended up spending a couple of hours there and felt like members of the family by the time we left.

Can't get back to sleep, so I guess it's time for coffee and to get the day started. Beautification day, to get ready for the "big date" tomorrow.

Have a most enjoyable Friday!

Jodi

Good Morning everyone !!!

Another week flew by.
I'll start my live rock search today. I got everything hooked up already. Unfortunately my X10 controler/modules assembly for the lights and fans didn't work in my house. Tested it in a friend's apartment, worked well . I need to get my circuit checked and see what's wrong. Other than that, I have the RODI filter working. I have good 55-58 psi water supply, and it seems to be flowing quicker than expected. I don't know exactly how long it's going to take to fill the whole volume, so I need to check the production rate and estimate. My guesstimate is 2 days at least, but we'll see.
Finally I got to post about some progress, how's that for a year long project ? I just hope I won't mess it all up in a matter of days.

Have a nice day and a great weekend !!!

Morning everyone,

Got the new Q tank a runnin' and Mrs. Phish's 29g UV and Skimmer dialed in last night finally.

Bleh, this is not a typical Friday...14 hours of work today to finish up March. By some accounting miracle this is March 33rd I guess.

Hope your weather starts being like our weather *snickers*.

Re: It's Friday!!!!!!


Good Morning, Everyone!

Still chilly but the weekend should be nice. I'll be glad to see this cold spell pass on through!

FishGirl had a blast at Dollywood yesterday! It was a promotional video shoot and there were only her group of 30 and 30 more from another school there. They were filming them riding The Thunderhead, a new wooden rollercoaster. She rode the thing 8 times!!!

Her Easter Break begins after school today; they don't have to be back until April 12th. Our first plan is to catch up on sleep!

I woke up at 4:30 and didn't need to! Finally went back to sleep but don't feel rested. Good thing I didn't have to go in early today.

Heather,

I bet you'll be glad when you finally get that leaky basement fixed!

Graz,

Congratulations for splashing the tank! That's always a big event.

Fishnoob,

Glad you and Mrs. 'Noob got those tanks in operation!

Cath,

The Smokies got 6-8" of snow!!!!

Since everyone is a bit sleepy today, here's an eye-opener. This is Lucky, saying "Read My Lips"!!! He's been MIA for a while. Sure hope he decides to come back soon.



Have a great Friday!

Dick

Love the pic! heh heh Morning all, not only is it Friday for all of us....

It is payday for me!

Now..my question to you all..should I roll the 18 hours overtime in to comp time? (which I currently have none), or take it on the paycheck. Thoughts?

Ohhh...that's a tough question, Jeremy. $$ are nice, but days off are delicious.

Dick! I could see that picture here at work (I promise I'm on break) just fine. What a great picture of that tabby lickin' his chops. Throw out some cake for him. I hear tell that cats like cake. Bobbi's cats find a way to find it in their house.

Oh, and it's April Fool's day here at work. Technology isn't working worth a hoot today

Morning folks! Well, I've had the stomach flu for the past 2 days and I couldn't be any happier to not be in the bathroom right now! I'm actually happy to be at work, well happy I'm not at home feeling like I had been.

Heres to a great weekend!
