Still @ 0.25 ppm ammonia ... it's like watching a pot of water, waiting for it to boil

What is your Nitrite level?

It was 42 when I left this morning and 55 now, somewhere in there it warmed up nicely. Got a couple of inches of rain this morning and some hard wind. Had to pick up stuff when I got home. Tomorrow should be a really nice day, so wife and I are going to take the horses out for fun.

Buppies, Congratulations!!! I am impressed

Roy, glad you are back

Farmer, I must of missed it, where are you going this weekend?

Drew, I know it is a pain, but doing things right is worth doing them over

Good afternoon. 1725, partly cloudy, 61F with 80% humidity. Our high today was 70F, and tonight's forecast calls for a low of 49F with 10% chance of rain. Last night's storm was very windy and dumped lots of rain. I spent most of the day in the woods. Saw a couple of deer when I was in the shooting house, but no horns. Margie got in from her conference early and I hadn't cleaned up the mess from three days batching it

You guys have a good one,

Larro

Today is a good day 39 years being married to my wonderful wife life is good and I am blessed

Congratulations.

Yeeee Ha! Played cowboy and rounded up and trailer 10 calves for auction. One was might testy and had to be rounded several time after jumping gates. Some were 700 lbs and you kind of had to move or be trampled. My parents should go with sheep like Eric, at least the loaders can't be injured as much during round-up.

Eric I have a few question on across the pond traditions. What is the purpose of a cracker at Christmas and do you'all really say Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas (like they do on Midsomers Murders).

What is your Nitrite level?

Probably off the chart ...

Actually, I dunno as I hadn't tested it yet. I did test the tap water for pH this afternoon for a baseline - it came in around 7.4 ...

The article/instructions I'm operating off of say to wait for the ammonia to drop completely to zero before starting to test for nitrite ... and I haven't/hadn't hit zero ammonia yet.

I suppose it could be the light I'm viewing the sample in ... but I've looked at it under several different (fluorescent/incandescent) light sources.

Or mebbe within the margin of error for the test kit (zero for all practical purposes, but since there's still a trace it shows 0.25 ppm - which is the lowest reading on the chart before zero)

The test kit is new, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Just took a sample for nitrite, so we should know in a few minutes ...

Nitrite is 2.0 ppm ...

Hard for me to believe it is a year since I intruded into this Good Morning thread. At the time my love affair with compact tractors made me think I may have something in common, despite speaking at times an almost foreign language. Since then I have come to appreciate it is more than just tractors, it is the not too serious outlook on life, whatever that decides to throw at us.

As I don't have a Green Card, I'm not sure if Muhammed is going to let me stay on here after my guest year and use up more of his valuable server storage space with yet more pictures of sheep. I have already taken you through a complete year with the sheep, so anything I say in the future can only be repeating things.

Come to think of it, at my age I'm at the point where everything is likely to get repeated. Even so, if you could put up with me a little longer, I'd like to still hang around, so if Muhammed asks if you can tolerate a slightly cheeky Brit for another year, would you please put in a good word for me.

Good morning y'all.
