It's fall, finally. 50s at night now so it's bon fire weather. The turtle whiskey tastes like a pecan pie with chocolate syrup... yea, it's that dangerous...

54 here right now at 8:15 am. Supposed to hit 75. Temps are supposed to drop this week to more normal fall weather. Not complaining though. Been a beautiful fall so far.

I can get what I need but once I figure in the shipping, duty and exchange rate, it sometimes becomes too expensive to order. It also takes twice as long to get it shipped.

I do have a bit of an advantage over some in Canada. I am right across from Detroit and they have a place called My Detroit Mailbox. We can get things shipped there much cheaper then drive across the bridge or take the tunnel to go pick it up. Saves a good chunk of change on shipping. I try to order a bunch of items at once so I spend enough for the free shipping.

What is this work, you speak of?
I am fully embracing this retirement phase of my life.

Fall was on Thursday. Did you miss it?

I cleaned up one of my 4" PVC couplings from the QT tank and I'm using it as a pedestal for the skimmer. It's still overflowing, but not near as bad as it was. Still putting micro bubbles into the water, but better to break it in now while we are still cycling.

So many pedestrians so little time
The debris on the left , led me to believe I was looking at a rodent. I just can't disconnect from work.
I guess it's the hitmas life.

That's sand that washed down from the tank. And that piece of scallop I threw in there... I need to get the shop vac and suck that sand out of there. I'll do it once the cycle finishes and I'm ready for a water change.

I think we've found the light for the refugium.

Captains log, star date 2017.294;
Cycle is coming along nicely. Ammonia has dropped to 2.0ppm, Nitrite has spiked to at least 5.0ppm, its off the standard issue scale provided by the federation. Dr. Crusher should have the bacteria colony finished today. I'll have Warf assemble a team to deploy it. Geordi assures me the proton skimmer will level itself out soon, I trust his engineering expertise. Data has been keeping track of all parameters.
