  1. It's snowing this morning. I'm tired of this. Gotta get out today, time to fire up the old Ford 4wd. I'd rather be sweating than ice skating.

  2. 16 degrees this morning, with a windchill of -2. Not funny.

      So glad we don't live out there in your neck of the woods.

  3. Iced in again, roads are like greased glass. So, today I'm cleaning skimmers. Pull 'em out, soak in a bucket with water and muriatic acid, scrub clean and back in the sump they go. Two down, two to go! Then, onward to water changes, and water testing on the restarted hall tank.

  4. Ice, Ice, Baby! We are frozen in, with more to come. And I don't care. I'll just work on my tanks, and be lazy.

  5. It was 80 degrees yesterday, today there is ice hanging on everything and it's below freezing. WTF?!

  6. Hope all y'all are not floating away!

      flood waters? you mean free water change... :D

  7. Yellow collection complete. I now have true yellow hammer, frogspawn, and torch. None of this "yellow tipped" nonsense, these things are bright *** yellow, all the way.

      very cool. orange sounds awesome, too.

  8. Circular route taken on itunes. Started out with Sousa, then Polka, then a spontaneous Chicken Dance broke out. Now I'm back in Classical. WTF?

      Something going on for sure. Now I'm all the way over to Buckethead. Wow.

  9. 6 weeks cigarette free as of today. The cravings tried to get me for some reason today, but gum and fingernails won the battle.

      Grats! 13 years for me. Just remember you never have to go through that first day again if you don't smoke another.... :)

  10. Firefox is so much more enjoyable with the plugin nag screen turned off. I'm lovin it.

  11. Sigh. Two dogs bitten by a rattler last night. And here I thought I was going to make it through this year with no bites. Wrong. The dogs will be fine.

      Glad the dogs are okay :)

      Yikes!!! My dogs killed a Coral Snake a few years ago -- that was a long night, kept checking them...all were good. The vet offered me rattlesnake vaccine this year...

  12. Looks like I get to spend some quality time with the chainsaw tomorrow. The ancient mesquite tree split down the middle, and it's a monster. Crap, this is NOT going to be fun, at all.

      i'll take some of that mesquite! Or at least put it to good use and make a brisket!

    3. Sherita

      Sherita

      Well, then come get it :) There will be about a half cord on the ground when I get done.

    4. Grog

      Oh that sucks. Losing old trees is rough. Having to cut them up and clean up makes it worse.

  13. I have definitely disproven the theory that you can't have too many corals. Good grief.

      Actually I was thinking you blew that theory out of the water a few years ago :-D

  14. My tanks are now officially clown free zones. Finally got the gbmc out of the reef. No more clowns here, ever.

  15. Still hunting for a treadmill. Craigslist is full of flakes....

      The 'super' Sears on IH35 in Austin has a crazy selection of gym equipment. Probably a bit of a drive for you but I was wowed when I went in there for some clamps.

  16. Bringing the salinity back up on the 140g. Getting ready for a restart :) Bubble algae didn't do so well when exposed to pure rodi, LOL.

    1. esacjack

      esacjack

      didnt you just air it out to kill it off?

    2. Sherita

      Sherita

      That was the small world tank in the hallway :) I'm not sure how I got bubble algae in those two tanks, but it's gone now. I hate that stuff.

  17. I have got to be stupid or something. Going on a diet and quitting smoking at the same time. I'm miserable, but losing weight. And tomorrow will be three weeks smoke free.

      Quitting smoking is probably the best think you can do for yourself. Congrats!

      Chad and Belinda

      Gongrats!!! Belinda and I quit almost 8 years ago and never went back. If I can do it so can you!!!

  18. Outsmarted again! I'm still trying to get the itty bitty pistol shrimp out of my frag tank. His goby misses him. Speedy little devil.

    1. Sherita

      Sherita

      Ok, I give up. Where did he go NOW?!

  19. Revving up for the 140g reboot. Bubble algae didn't hold up so well to being in the air. Get OUT.

  22. Just got back from making the hardest drive any pet owner has to make. RIP sweet girl, see you on the other side.

      I think C.S Lewis said it best. "The pain i have now is the happiness I felt before. That is the deal" Cherish the memories you have of your loved one.

      Sorry 4 your loss. I cried like a baby when my dog died. She was the only thing I had at the time. She waited till I got home to see me 1 last time.

  23. Pulled the fish and coral out of the hall tank today and drained it. Let's see if bubble algae can survive in air, since nothing else seems to kill it :P

      Im in the same battle as you. I have taken some of my rock and cleaned all of it I could find.

  24. Hi. My name is Sherita. And I am a coralholic. Pleased to meet you. Good grief, it is entirely possible to have too many corals.
