  1. 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...

  2. 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!

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

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

  3. 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

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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

      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.

  7. 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!!!

  8. 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?!

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

    4. diabeetus

      diabeetus

      well there is possibly 3. im sure there are plenty more people that want them

  11. 30g is restarted, 140g is shut down and drained for repairs. New fish coming in next week! It's all good :)

  12. 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 for your loss Sherita

      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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Hi. My name is Sherita. And I am a coralholic. Pleased to meet you.

  16. Happy Dance! While moving some zoas around today I found the BHBEB's that my urchin stole. They were right side up, and had multiplied!

  17. I went to the dome today looking for pipefish. I left with pipefish, emerald crabs, possum wrasse, cleaner wrasses, and corals. How exactly does that work?!

      Ha.. saw all of those on Saturday. Nice take aways :)

      I had it in reverse. I went looking to drop some serious cash on fish and left with an urchin.

    3. Sherita

      Sherita

      Maybe we should go together. We might cancel each other out :)

  18. Dang, clothespins are getting harder and harder to find. I guess next time I will have to order them online.

      I'm with you. Why waste the power? Clothesline is a project on the list when it gets cooler. I'm not digging post holes, and pouring concrete in this heat. So, fall project.

      The summer is the best time to build post holes! At least that is what I was told when I was a kid

      use duct tape and frag glue

  19. ATO won't work if you forget to turn it back on after filling the reservoir. :P

  20. Oh yay. I've got to work on the truck again. Now it's a bad radius arm bushing.

      Somehow I don't see that happening :) I can keep it sound mechanically, but the body work is beyond my skill set.

    3. esacjack

      esacjack

      in that case, just get the mechanical side working like factory, then make the body look like something out of Mad Max..

    4. Sherita

      Sherita

      I'm going to have the body shop repair the body rot around the fender wells and then stick a set of flares on it. I wish I could find someone to put a cheap paint job on it, but no joy there.

  21. Oh yay. I've got to work on the truck again. Now it's a bad radius arm bushing. Thing is a big train in my butt.

  22. 108.6 degrees right now. Wow.

      I admit it was pretty hot out there but I was still running around in camo playing paintball with my friends

  23. I guess yahoo wasn't satisfied with screwing up their email. Now I see they have ruined yahoo news as well. Off to find my news somewhere else.

      I'm tired of them. It seems they hired the larry, darrell and darrell web design company. Their motto is "if it ain't broke, it will be"

  24. Skimmer pump busted. Ugh. I've never seen a magnet split in half on a rio before. :P

  25. I scored a huge elephant mushroom and some truly awesome zoas at the Dome today! I can't believe that no one had grabbed those zoos. Pics in the morning. Don't hate.

    1. esacjack

      esacjack

      *hatin* I was at the dome as well. Which zoos did you grab? I walked in to get a clam, got tangled up looking at corals, left with snails... wtf?
