Well, I finally started my shed for the sulcatas. It is one of those plastic ones you put together. Myplanisto install 2x4s so I can put insulation in between them , then cover with plywood. This will be done for all the walls and ceilings. The floor will be covered with sheet insulation and then plywood. Still have to figure out the doors. It will all be sealed with silicone so there are no leaks. I think this can work. I will be using heavy duty insulation to keep the maximum heat in for the winter. We will see how it works.

I hope to see in-progress pics, the plastic shed look like a good idea.

Hello all, I slept from 2AM till 1 this afternoon. Never woke up! That is the first time since I came out of my coma in February 2016. Usually it is 3 hrs of sleep at best. Now I just need to get the hrs correct. Thanks to the wife for taking care of Opo.
Starting to feel better physically and mentally. Have 2 grandsons coming Tuesday. Ages 4 and 6 cant wait..
Haven't been keeping up on CDR so I hope everyone has healed from their situations and there have been no other issues.

That is great! I hope you can keep it up. I get excited thinking about grandkids in my future. Enjoy them!

It’s a copperhead. Very venomous [emoji27]

And a rather big fat Copperhead at that!

Ok this was very weird to do. But I did promise to do a voice post. So here is a very short one.

You have a wonderful lilting voice.

When I hear myself on a recording, I think "oh no! Do I really sound that awful?"

You, on the other hand, sound great!

Ray, I'm so happy you got a really good sleep! It can make all the difference in your pain, attitude, and mood. Maybe you'll frequent the CDR more often now. [emoji2]

I'm kinda considering live plants also but don't know if that would be too much knowledge for me to handle at first.

There are some really easy plants to grow, like anubias and java fern. And your betta will appreciate them, because they are soft.

Betta fins tear very easily when dragged over a sharp edge. It is said "drag a pair of pantyhose across the decoration...if they do not snag, it's OK for the tank".

Please keep this in mind when decorating your tank. Carefully feel all edges, and watch the size of holes in decor. Fish, like torts, will get themselves stuck.

She's doing ok. Having a lot of health problems in her old age. She doesn't have anyone to help her with her computer and can't afford to send it out, so she's offline - not by choice.

Is there a chance she could phone someone knowledgeable and they could talk her through a fix? Does she use Windows operating system? Is the problem in the software or the hardware?

Oh my... I wish I could help her there’s so much cheap computers on craigslist, it only has to run an operating system that has a browser, and I could have fixed a malfunctionning part I have been building my own computers for years. If she want something new she could always buy a cheap tablet with the app or chromebooks are fine for net browsing and cost less.

He is a gorgeous tort.

Well, it’s time for me to wish you all goodnight. Our children are back at their respective homes having cooked us an excellent lunch of lemon roasted chicken with Mediterranean vegetables.

JoesDad seems to be going down with plane flu [emoji849] He wasn’t well before he went to India and it did concert me that he might be at risk of getting something else. Hopefully he’ll sleep it off tonight

Sleep tight! Don’t let the bed bugs bite!

Poor JoesDad. I hope the sleep helped and he is feeling better.

Sounds like a good plan. Don't forget to post some postcards of the build.

Ha ha. Thank you. I think the same thing about my voice. When I hear it on a recording I don't think it sounds natural. [emoji23] [emoji23]
