    20200915_131142.jpg This is my new 40 gallon tank in my messy shed. The bottom and the short sides are an old mirror and the two clear sides are from a piece of glass I picked up cheap from a thrift store. Just cut it 30 inches long and in half. It ain't perfect but it holds water. 20200915_131412.jpg These are my sunfish ready to attack. If you zoom you may see some babies.

    I ordered a grilled chicken salad via DoorDash for lunch. Miss having good stuff closeby at the office. Might as well splurge a little @ home! :knifefork:

    Sally finally decided to land in Gulf Shores, Al. I have decided there is something positive to be said about Michael, he got out of town quickly. Sally not so much. She came to the party late and stayed later!

    I am still waiting for rain. I need a lot of water to replace water loss due to leakage and evaporation. Supposed to be raining now. It was supposed to rain last night.

    My wife is a good cook but I sometimes cook out of the ordinary dishes like egg rolls and sweet and sour. Lately I have been doing a little work with sugar free desserts.

    I am surprised the rain hasn't started where you are. This is a slow-moving storm and very wet. If you get half of what we got you will get plenty. We are in a flash flood watch now. Our neighbor down the hill has a pond that is over the banks and into their yard.

    We are now getting light rain. I got all my collectors ready. I can fill them and then put water into my pools. Plus 45 gallons of rainwater for my new angelfish tank. A thousand gallons would fill me up.... I guess.

    It's fun to do unusual foods, as long as those eating them don't mind the experiments, lol.

    As to 'sugar free', no sugar or sugar substitutes, correct? Because in all reality, the substitutes are actually worse for you than the real stuff. Since I (try) and limit my carb intake, tried pretty much all the different substitutes and between the gastro-intestinal disruptions and the after tastes, I found level ground again with minimal processed organic sugar (Florida Crystals is my preferred brand) and just cut back on the quantity being used.

    got a call that a long time ...er.. acquaintance died.. she was a little younger than us..died supposedly from bone cancer.
    Everyone wifey has called to spread the news has the same first remark "she hurt a lot of people". You see, Chayo didn't like single men.. only tried and verified married men, and she wasn't faithful to them either, seems she enjoyed the pain she inflicted.. and funniest thing (if you can call it funny) is her last husband cheated on her and she literally went nuts and had to be institutionalized for a few months! Don't think we'll be seeing her in the afterlife.

    That was likely a lot of awkward conversations. Such a shame when someone who obviously was emotionally unbalanced hurts other people on their way down.

    I hope things were as quick and unpainful as possible for her, regardless.

    It is enough rainwater to fill the angelfish tank. The rainwater is good for Amazon tanks. Any rain this time of year is welcome. Just have to get the right gravel and decor.

    Seems the behavior was a demon passed down thru the generations.

    and please excuse me for talking ill of the dead.. seems the family intends to curtail that by be very secretive about her memorial service ,and which they are holding 250 miles from were she lived.
    That said.. she was a very pleasant person to know casually.

    What a shame. Learned behavior IS something one can change, if they have a desire to.

    For starters.. they would need to move far away from the reputation. I think her daughter, after a child producing fling with a married man, as done just that.. and with a new husband.. I pray they are doing well.
