SHhhh!! it's Sunday


Good Mawnin' Yardboy (I see you out there...) and all of TRT!!!

Whew! I have a full day today and then Super Bowl!!! I have to sing at 2 church services and then work at the library. Our church choir is having a Super Bowl party, so that should be lots of fun. Taking the chili I made yesterday. Go check it out in M'vlle....it's ok..you won't get tainted by looking at a veggie recipe

I hope everyone had a good Saturday and has an even better day today!

Lots of love and hugs and peace all around.

Howdy folks!
Stayed up late wiring up the lights on my hood. Today is church, water change on the cycling rock, put some VHO on it for a little while. Proof the homework of my wife's nutrition class.
WATCH THE GAME!!!!!
Sounds like a full day. Hope everyone else has a great day. Hey Casey, at least this way you don't have to get emotionally involved. You can just watch "academically"!

Good Morning, Cath, Casey, Eric, Yardboy, & Everyone!!

15 degrees outside but with a clear sky and supposed to be near 50 later.

It's Super Bowl Day so, who do you pick??? I'm for the Panthers but it'll be an uphill battle; the Patriot's defense is super tough!

Speaking of panthers, here's my grandson, Chance, wrestling with a Florida Panther during a visit to a wildlife sanctuary near Sebastian. Oh, yeah; Chance won the struggle!!



Have a Super Sunday!

Dick

Whaaaaa! For the first time i can't see Dic's morning picture *sniffle*

Wonder whats up with my computer this morning....?



Well sepnt most of yesterday setting up a 5g Nano (that hubby hollered at me for when he saw it but i'ts not going anywhere) and i cleaned up and rearranged the Fishroom Dungeon, looks pretty darned nice. I replaced the substrate in the 30g freshie tank early in the am and then about 9:00 last night i took the platys, swordtail and gourami from their 10 and put them in their new house. I scraped algae in the Bowfront, installed a shelf between the two tanks and put all the test kits, foods and stuff on them. My next trick will be to get the green spotted puffers out of the salt rump in a container where i will reacclimate them from salt water back to fresh and then put them in the 30 fresh tank. Then i have to decide if i want to go buy an aiptasia laden chunk of LR from the LFS or if i just want to go rock-less (or rob my 46 for a few chunks or rubble chips) and buy some macroalgae online in the spring and use that to help keep the nano clean.

Dunno......

Big game on tonight... i have a turkey that needs thawing and then a nice spicy injection. Gonna go hang out with my parents at their house and my mom is cooking a roast and some spare ribs and some fresh native shrimp (oh i live shrimp season!) and we got cream cheese hot poppers and spicy chicken taquitos.

I may not want to move by halftime

Morning all!

We had a really good day at the shop yesterday, then at the end of it, friends from Scouting called and asked if we wanted to go to dinner with them and some other Scout familes... we suggested our fave Mexican restaurant down the road... 19 of us went and we had a blast... great food, great friends, pitchers of Margaritas Life doesn't get much better than that! The restaurant is really family-friendly, the kids played video games, the parents had some laughs... we wrapped it up early and Scott and I went back to the shop and did some more work.

Going to go in a bit early today to do some more... it's coming along nicely, but I need a few "non-customer" hours to knock out a few jobs.

Scott's reconfiguring the back pump room to accomodate the sump for the "Pool"...

I'm dreading it, but I think the 120 will have to be moved too... where it sits now, is not a good place, in consideration of the system we're about to put in....

So much to do, so little time....

AND we've been invited to neighbours for a Super Bowl party

Life is good.

Jenn

Good morning! Well, the "wintery mix" has started, and the roads are apparently getting slick. Guess we're not going anywhere for awhile.

We were going to have friends over for the big game, but we'll see if they can get here - and get home.

Hey everyone! Darn, I hate school! So much to do, and less TRT.... But i'm back for now! So, sounds like everyone's REALLY busy, sounds like some good times tonight though!

I spent 8 hours yesterday tearing apart the existing hood and buildin a new one with some lighting upgrades, finally gonna have the 250s instead of the 175s! I just fed the horses, and gotta ride before the Super Bowl, GO PATRIOTS!!!! Btw, what time does it start?

Good morning all! Wow Dick, great picture! How did you get that panther to eat out of the hand of that realistic statue of your son!?

Nothing going on here today. Was suppose to go to Lawrence for church and then take a friend out to eat for their bday. ( A late bday lunch), but with the roads getting slick, I may have to postpone another week. Other than that..no plans here.

Hope everyone has a great safe fun Super Bowl Sunday!
