BBQ grill?

 

[LadyMac]

Yes but it’s wood powered and all out wood is soaked lol. Hopefully Hubbs isn’t slammed tonight and can grab pizza.

my main worry (cause we can eat things like ramen, ect) is that all my frozen food went bad and I’m out of the pellets the fish will chow on. I do have a few to offer and right now it’s at “eat it or starve, guys. Sorry” until I can get to a shop and get the cash. This is supposed to be my week of pay for fishy stuff but home stuff is priority and I’m also out of dog food (almost. They have enough to last to Saturday)

Call your auto loan holder and ask for a payment deferal. They will tack it on to the end of the loan. Given your circumstances, I'm sure they will do it

We have this payment and then a 30 dollar one, so really we can just pay and be done with it. Hubbs told me last night to send it in. And he wanted me to pay the 30 but it’s sending me something I don’t quite understand. I could just hold off and wait til later in the month but we would rather be done so we can drop from full coverage to liability.

I think that while we will be tight, Hubbs is working extra this week due to the hurricane so his next check should be decent enough to help us catch up. Friday I’m going to grab a couple things of frozen food for the fish. Pellets have to wait. I found a second container of the betta bug bites that the smaller wilds and fancies eat. I need cichlid formula for the bigger guys and I really need an actual small pellet for the clowns dottyback and goby. I have some veggie pellets but they’re huge. I guess I’ll try to crush and see if they will eat that. Grab hopefully a multipack depending on the price and availability. And hopefully they’ll have some blackworms in stock. Big Mama has yet to eat since coming home so I’ve got to get her to eat SOMETHING.

Yes, when you do that final payoff it'll calculate any additional interest etc that might be owed because it runs those numbers differently, otherwise you'll still get another little bill of a stupid amount at the end of the billing cycle

 

[LadyMac]

So this isn’t the end? Ugh this is annoying. Never buying another car XD

As soon as you say yes trying to do final payoff and they give you that actual final bill, it's over. But you do have to do that or you will get something else.

So through their app it shows 100% paid and then says one payment remaining so I’m wondering if that 30 is the interest. It’s not letting me pay so maybe I’ll call later to see what’s up. The “under payments” option is not there so they don’t know what they’re talking about XD

It calculates really bizarre, I remember having issues w one of my cars as well. If you call them they should be able to help sort it out for sure.

 

[LadyMac]

It let me pay it after clicking OK.

I’m calling soon as Russ gets up fed and entertained o make sure that was indeed the last, find out when it’ll be marked as paid for insurance and when we get the title.

Today is my 25th wedding anniversary!

A little late but congrats!
Glad things are going after the hurricane.

Thank you! Yes we are recovering nicely. Sadly many around are still out of power and net. Cell towers were toppled so some can’t even phone we got our net back yesterday around 2:00 so now all fish lights are finally back to their timers as per normal.

And this morning I realized my last payment on the car is scheduled for the 23rd so it’s going to be at least Nov before we get our title. Urg.

Kiddo informed me she may come home early. If she does I’ll spend the day moving the macs to the 20 long. The main issue I’m running into with it is the lid. It’s a nice piece of plexi. It has three cord holes made in the back for wires or airline. It’s heavy enough to stay out. However it has a hand hole which is plenty large for even Big mama to easily free Willy out. I’ll need the hand hole to handle (lol) opening unless I can find another solution.

I was thinking I’d like to actually like to use this hand hole as a feeder port with a slidy feeder that is printed. However idk how to design such a thing. And print also a handle to glue to lift. For now I’ll place somethjng over the hand gap to keep them my prisoners.

Also I have to test the reef. I’ve been so busy getting things back in order I’ve just made sure the ATO is filled and offer the dusty crumbles of their pellets as I walk by. I need to change the floss from the cups as it’s been a few days and test.

My newest little coral whatever looks to be showing skeleton. It always figures I get somethjng supposed to do well, starts out nice and then BAM! Something happens to upset it. Sigh.

Also my local reef shop is having a sale on framers zoas and rainbow nems. Sadly I don’t have the $25 to drown my sorrows in coral XD it’s fine, I need to focus on other things. But retail therapy is real lol.

But anyways, I will make a trip hoped Saturday for at least some brine and some blackworms.

I hope my Fuel and ab+ didn’t ruin in the fridge. I’ve read Fuel will be ok on the shelf but best to keep cool. It was opened when I got it at the meet, I fridged it and then this power outage. Also I think I’m going to hatch out some baby brine as an “I’m sorry you all were in the dark please don’t be mad at me” treat for everyone.

Oh and today if I move the macs I can move a three gallon and tear down another, and then all my current USA lights will be unused. I will probably hang onto them like the hoarder I am but may offer them for sale. I’m trying to knock down my numbers here. Only bad thing of being a betta holic is having too many tanks with one fish.

Which btw everyone is still fine. Due for their waterchanges but otherwise they all pulled through. And did I mention that Jetsam (goby) has shown herself? She’s been out and about perching on a Little Rock. Such a cutie.


And oh my gosh what a long post. Sorry y’all lol.

Test before you change any filters, or wait at least a day after, also have always kept Fuel on shelf never in fridge
it expired yrs ago still smells like crap ,I shake it up add a lil bit every now and then ,prob once a month...

Will do, and that’s great to know about the fuel. Yes it smells so bad lol.

Also, if I get measurements of this hand hole would anyone be able to do a design for me? I can draw up what I want(it should be simple) but I’m dumb with 3D designing. I figured I’d just do a simple little rectangle feeder cup to keep in there.

Sure. Should be easy enough. You just want the design to print yourself?

Yes, if possible

 

[LadyMac]

The hole is 3x1. I need something that’ll fit snug enough to stay out of they bump it but not too tight to remove. If that makes sense?

Anyhow this is kinda what I’m wanting (but as easy to design as anyone wants to do) it’s a super quick sketch but you get the idea. saved for Creality.

Also pics of the hand hole measurements.

 

[Mschmidt]

Send a picture and measurements (metric is ideal) when you get a chance. How soon do you want it?

Edit: forgot to send on time. I see
