Another day, another dollar and some movie stuff

Getting to the end of another day, and I’m beat. Seems I far more enjoy the days where there is stuff happening, as oposed to the days where nothing really happens. Tired? Yes, but on the days where there’s been lots to do it’s just so much better to crawl into bed with a great tired feeling.

Another day has passed

Got through another day, and it’s been an interesting day. Didn’t get home until about an hour ago, but got to visit my father which was a bit of a drive. He’s doing OK, but at age 70 surgery is hard.

Work was great as always, but I can’t really talk about it. Lets just say it was an interesting day, and it brought along events we don’t see to much of.

I just can’t manage to write about the two movies I wanted to share, but it’s coming!
For now I bid you a very good night and hope tomorrow brings just what you had in mind ;-)

Time flies far to fast

As you can probably tell, there hasn’t been any work done on this site since…forever.
I haven’t even had the time or desire to post anything in a long while. Thought I might change that today, and thus here’s a new post. I don’t really have anything to write about, so I’ll just run through some of the stuff in my mind lately.

Update

Just a quick post, as I really shouls have been in bed a looong time ago. Working early tomorrow…

All the tanks are doing wonderfully and fish are growing well. The JD’s are slow growing, but the PP’s are “monsters”. They’ve been out of danger for some time now, as they’re much to big to be prey. Hoping the JD’s will kick in shortly :P

On a whole other note: I’ve never really been much of a gamer, but recent events have got me to endeavor into this world.  I’ve never had a computer that was built for games, but during the last year or so I’ve had the urge to build one. Last week I finally did it, and this time I put the effort into making it reliable for games.

Specs and all that sort of thing might just come, if I find the time.

Well, now I’m off to bed getting far to little sleep but hey… That’s one thing I’m used to!!!

Three weeks have come and passed

Today it’s three weeks since I first saw the fry from my Dempsey tank. I took them from their parents after a few days, and it seems to have saved quite a few. I expected there to be quite a few that wouldn’t make it, and so it was.

Third day

Well, it’s now three days since I found the youngsters, and today I made a “bold” move..  I decided not to risk having mom and dad cannibalise the herd. From what I’ve read, they should be fine for about a week, but to me it looked like there were a bit fewer today from yesterday.

Offspring

I’ve had a male Rocio Octofasciatum for some time, and he’s been alone about a year or so as his mate passed away. I’ve been somewhat reluctant to find a new female as they do make a mating pair, but I found an ad on a forum for JD’s and decided to give it a go.

Picked her up about a week ago, and let her into her new home hoping for the best. They’ve seemed to like eachother, but I haven’t seen any courting bahviour to speak of.

Pictures

Well, today I did get a bit done. I had to do a 30% water change yesterday, and that’s always fun :| .

Went out today to get a few supplies for my tanks, and ended up with a bit more.

Rock on!

Snow hasn’t stopped for over a week, and it’s probably about 1 meter or so here now :( . Not the best time of year to say the least. Have lost a bit of oomph to go ahead and make/test more of the pyro effects because of the snow. BUT…

This is just ridiculus

45 to 50 cm snow on Sunday… That’ll put an effective stop to all testing right now. I got my hands on some great tubes for a simple mortar today, and really looking forward to testing that. All I need is a way to plug it, but I think I might have a solution for that. Tomorrows forecast predicts about 20 new cm’s of snow, so I might not get a chance to build it before work. Have to see how it goes..

Didn’t have a chance to make dextrin today because of.. well.. a few different things. No stars drying to be tested, but there’s still time. It’s kind of hard to have the parts and compounds lying around but no time to build and test. If all goes as planned, I’ll have some spare time this weekend, and things might happen…. That remains to be seen.

See you in the sky!
