Does your sully have mulch over her Kane mat? Toretto prefers his corner with the mulch in it which of course is not the one with the Kane mat.. before I added the mulch, he always used the mat......
No. You need to keep the substrate off the heat mat.

The mulch might get warm also. It could possibly react like straw and leaves and such. Just a thought.

Here is something different for the CDR. In paddles in Spring and early Summer i i often saw large gelatinous globs of what i thought were frog or toad eggs. Id see them, paddle by and think nothing of them. When out today, we saw tons of them and one of our team said hey,, more Bryozoa. I said what, i thought they were frog eggs... nope Bryozoa...

Sure enough per Wiki - Bryozoa (also known as the Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals)[6] are a phylum of aquatic invertebrate animals. Typically about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) long, they are filter feeders that sieve food particles out of the water using a retractable lophophore, a "crown" of tentacles lined with cilia. Most marine species live in tropical waters, but a few occur in oceanic trenches, and others are found in polar waters. One class lives only in a variety of freshwater environments, and a few members of a mostly marine class prefer brackish water. Over 4,000[7] living species are known. One genus is solitary and the rest are colonial.

Here are two pix of what they look like...

It’s getting much heavier now too. Tomorrow is kayaking, so, prob won’t get much building done. Still have to frame the door out, cut the entrance, add a vinyl flap. And the top, hinges, heat mat and RHP. I think the hard part - the design, is over.
Did you get out kayaking? I am still practicing paddling so maybe someday I could go with you.
I am still paddling in circles o_O
Practice Practice Practice :)

Good morning! It’s raining here and the cool front is in! Hallelujah!
My big news..... I have placed a deposit on an English bulldog..I have not picked a puppy yet as I passed on the 6 week old litters that I was shown. I’m perfectly ok with waiting a while. The have a particular stud dog that I really like and I heard last night that he just had a female puppy born that looks just like him.. it’s too early to know for sure, but I highly suspect that that’s gonna be my girl:). A baby in the house by Christmas !!!!

That’s really interesting. I have found those dried out and washed up on the beach, but never seen them alive

You'll need to teach your wife to be your 'right-hand-man'!!

Good morning everyone! Bad night sleeping for me. So I decided to get out of the bed. It felt like I was sleeping on a rock. Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!
Yes, it's amazing how hard your bed or pillow can feel when you can't sleep! I bought one of those "my pillow" as seen on TV, and when I'm wide awake it feels like a brick under my head!

Happy Friday everyone!
Plenty of things to read here!
Have a good weekend! :)
Happy Friday to you too, Adrian!

Oh wow! I LOVE that breed! They're just the cutest things, especially as puppies. Please be sure to post lots of pictures for us. Have you picked out a name yet?

Oh yes, Team building event went well yesterday. We had it at a Top Golf venue... I am not normally a golfer..... but surprisingly it was fun! View attachment 281987I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!!
Looks like fun, but I doubt I'd be able to hit a ball with a stick!

Good afternooning all.

None days ago I showed you this little hedgehog at 3 weeks old
