COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

The biggest hazard blue agaves present is the bayonet point at the end of each tip. Risk assessment for this one primarily factors in potential mechanical damage to the torts and their keeper(s).

I don't think you would have to worry about the torts trying to make tequila on the sly...

I’m so jealous! I’ve just acquired 1 small one that I was so proud of.. rescued really.. it was budding out of the root holes. I cut the plastic pot apart and replanted Ali g with a bunch of neglected aloe... but I would love to have some big plants like that in my yard!!!

Ali G?

I have spent half the day saving our Betta fish from death.
He looked poorly this morning so I cleaned his tank and he just went down hill. I’ve been researching and came up with Velvet. So I ran to the store and bought meds and I’m hoping for the best.

Good luck...

 

[Kristoff]

Fingers crossed for your Betta. Ive had one now going on two years. Seems happy. We have him in a 10 gallon along with a single neon tetra, and two coryodoras, and many snails and live plants.

Ps, our Betta’s name is Alpha.

How clever. You’re obviously a man of letters.

The last time I heard, (in the US) baby chimney swifts can be removed from a persons home and moved to a sanctuary. They don't live. I would hate to see a planet without chimney swifts eating all those flies

Anything that eats flies and mosquitoes is a friend of mine. [emoji888][emoji887]

My children have had the same Beta fish for life.. only a couple years ago did my daughter learn that I had secretly been replacing “Jaws”... it was a life changing moment, she told me. [emoji23][emoji23] oddly enough, I have had the same Beta fish now for almost 3 years... I must be a better care taker now...

Oh no! Did you tell them about Santa Claus too??! [emoji33]

Just had a night time masked bandit enjoying a snack from our bird feeder. Heard a bang, something falling on our deck, i checked the noise out and see a big fat racoon enjoying a handful of seed. Cute. First one we’ve seen on our garden.

Won’t be the last you’ve seen of him if he liked the food. [emoji33]

 

[Kristoff]

It won't be the last...

SNAP’ish! [emoji23]

Ah, that was under the belt! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Kristoff]

Yes thank you, all sorted now. And I have had a few decaf coffees since then.

Good Morning All.

You can see that Autumn is poking her head out, as the mornings are full of dew and colder. Hopefully we get lots of rain this winter.[emoji3]

Have a fantastic Wednesday roommates.

Love it how it’s almost spring in one corner of the CDR and almost autumn in the other!

 

[Kristoff]

Good mornooning, roommates!
A mild, sunny morning here. The sunrise was a little after 7 am - the dark days are over. I have some work to do, but generally the day ahead looks good.

G’day/mooning all

Still another hour to go for official sunrise. Cold start to the day, but it should be sunny and warming. We were out in our back woodsy area assessing tree damage yesterday and spotted one clump of bright blue crocus blooming in the middle of the woods. Odd spot. Spring is around the corner, but Canadian cold next week is to be 10-15 degrees colder. :-(

I see that my racoon friend must have revisited again overnight. Entire feeder has been knocked away. Need to go find it.

Had an issue with the pull start mechanism on our wood shredder/chipper, soooooooooo, it’s been moved into the garage to see if we can spot, assess, and fix the problem. (It’s kind of always something)

I put my signature “mark” on the Super Bowl bottom yesterday. I’ll now follow up with additional beeswaxing and final buffing.

Did I bring about this wind of change to the CDR? [emoji85]

Nah, I think it is just a passing wind!!

 

[CarolM]

The way these conversations start just blows my mind [emoji85][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

And you always seem to be the catalist!

Whahaha. Don't rub it in.

I know, In the next few months you are going to be hearing me complain about the cold and wet winter. Okay I may not complain about it being wet!

Yes....you guys do need rain. I recently read this tidbit - Feb 7, 2019 · Thousands of flamingo chicks have been airlifted from their dried-out habitat in northern South Africa in a desperate attempt to save them.
