Went out and watered the chickens. So hot, I hate to think of July and August.
There is a guy that wants to buy 2 polish, so I may be meeting him today.

I need to mow badly. Theres just no way. I did a frozen stir fry for dinner and it caused the pain to come back some.

and lately they have been bringing "friends" to bed with them (aka ticks) was up about 6:30 with a tick crawling up my back.

The ticks are TERRIBLE this year. I had one crawling up my neck last night!!! Even after a full body tick check and clean jammies, I still felt creepy crawly all night.

#2 found a dead one on the kitchen floor this morning. Must have actually bit Scooter. At least the fipronil is working!

H2o, Im not doing the walking thing very good right now and its raining out.

You took our rain! We were supposed to get some this morning. Just a spit.

It looks great... Room to run!!!!! I bet you have some happier dogs.

Looks like that shrimp is stuck in the fish's mouth. Did you see the updated video for this? Wonder who dies first, fish or shrimp?

I took half a muscle relaxer, and went down to feed and water Turkey Town. The Mille Fleur D'uccle rooster flogged my hand twice. So I hung him upside down for a minute and put him under my arm. After a while I checked him for mites. Ugh, I am in no shape to clean coops right now. But I did buy a sprayer yesterday. I hope the other ones next door don't have them.

Are they the red mites? If so, just spraying the roosts will help some... and spray on the walls around where the roosts are attached.
You should spray as much as you can as soon as you can. Doesn't take long for the mites to kill.

Can you bake leaves fresh from a tree to make them brown and crispy like a fall leaf ?

Did you try it?

See that’s the problem. The tank is freaking silent now. Air stone...well. It’s been years since I’ve run one but I’d imagine they’re still noisy.

I haven't wanted a tank because of the noise. If the kind you have is truly silent, maybe I will change my mind!!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

no, I havent tried the leaves. I need some brown dead ones to benefit the tanks water parameters. oak, Indian almond or cattapula? and magnolia are good to use.

#1 thing you can do to keep a tank silent is keep your tank full. Then thee are a ton of things you can do. Whisper hang on back filter is designed for quiet.

I'm sensitive about noises. Refrigerator finally turns off and I sigh and realize how much tension I was holding over it. Tank running non stop, even a low hum, would drive me crazy.

its just a water sound. No humming unless you do get an air pump. You dont have to have it. The bigger the tank the less work too.

I could never do this but I bet you could. Figure out which plants make the air, which cleans, ect.. The right type of fish and plants and you wouldnt need anything except the tank and water. Light maybe

I had a tank... let's see... it was slopping around during big Loma Prieta earthquake, so 1989. It had what was supposed to be a quiet filter, water flower over the edge back into the tank. The water didn't bother me much, but I could still hear the hum of the filter. I was working then and not home much. I unplugged it at night if it kept me awake. I can't last long at all around an air pump, even though I do love the bubbles like Cap said.

I would really love to have a hot tub, but the noise is a deal killer. Our neighbors were running one a few years back. Kept us awake at night even with the windows closed. Now I tend to fall asleep with the tv on. Good white noise.

I have thought of that. Little water heater wouldn't make any noise.
