What are you doing today?

[Back in the fold]

Since my bargain with my wife was not to exceed 8 tanks

You should have planned ahead and bargained for gallons and not numbers . Women can’t visualize gallons .

 

[Essjay]

Fishkeeping women can

Number of tanks is relative. The trick is not to start right away with piranhas...

Wait a little.

 

[Back in the fold]

Wait a little.

And be sneaky .

I went to check on my Elodea bucket this afternoon and felt like I was being watched..

I have it from a good authority that if a piece of airline is placed so each end is in a different tank, then two tanks become one.

Pretty poor supper if it's all that's in view...

Even more if you catch the latest Lockheed-skunkworks AI spy drones.

They are everywhere.

What kind of pigeon/dove is that? It's really pretty.

Wood Pigeon, adopted name is "Podgy"

 

[MaloK]

Strange in our area these birds, seems to like more the city, But if they adopt your hospitality, will come back many years to come.

 

[MattW]

We do get feral pigeons here as well, but the Wood pigeons do prefer living in less built-up areas. We also have a gang of jackdaws that turn up a lot, along with a pair of Collared doves

I have a pair of Pterodactyls that visit on occasion.

Other people get ALL the cool stuff.

 

[gwand]

They are actually two huge turkey vultures that like my back yard and look a lot like a pterodactyl!

Today I am sweating, or as Linda says, glistening. Our thermometer hit 102F -- Real feel maybe 110F. We washed, in and out, 8 one-liter soda bottles last night, filled with water, and froze them. Today yesterday's problem tanks are running at near normal temps.

Went to the sawmill today and on the way home thought I had a gnat wandering on the Lense of my specs. Took them off, wiped them down, put them back on. Spec was still there and still moving. Something in my eye I decided. Flushed my eyes when I got home and low and behold, I still had what now looked like a worm like creature swimming on my eye.

Apparently, I have a floater. A quick google search revealed at my age they are not unusual and usually not more than frustrating. Called the eye vet and have an appointment Thursday. Seems I have passed some magical threshold that separated reasonably robust health from infirmary. My body parts are beginning to show some age.
