47F and sunny right at the moment, heading up to a high of around 49F. Of course it will feel chilly with winds out of the south @ 10 - 20 mph.
Did not get hopper feeder refilled yesterday ... so that's definitely on the list today.
Amazon arrived yesterday while Woman was out and dropped off two boxes. One was a (partial) order we had placed for the utensils which are safe for non-stick cookware plus suet that comes wrapped without the plastic tubs ... which was a special request from The Woman (She's getting tired of cleaning the plastic tubs so they be recycled, sending the fat down through the septic isn't good for it anyways)
The other was Her Christmas present ...
Still waiting on the rest of the order (more utensils and the anti-fungal powder for the tubers/corms) but Amazon now says that will be here Sunday - which is a day earlier than what they were originally predicting ...
Got what I thought were the last two dahlias removed from their grow bags so they could dry, discovered that I had forgotten about the one dahlia that She had saved from the previous year ... so still have that one to do.
Also got the sanding done on the mud yesterday, both spots will need a skim coat which I will get put on today.
Once Woman got back from the store I helped Her unload the groceries and get them inside.
After that I headed downstairs and continued on with maintenance/clean up in the fish room. One of the LED tubes we picked up from Wally World was DOA so that will have to be returned for an exchange at some point.
She came down at some point and worked some more on unloading the shelves and moving things into the closet.
Got lots more algae removed, sponge filters and a bunch of glass cleaned, and all the rest of the water I had drawn put into the tanks, also drew another 18 gallons which will get put in today.
Just finished helping Her move the Spike Plant in from the garage to the dining room, now just have to move the Elephant Ear plant in there from entry way. She's now looking to repot some of coleus ... while we have a bunch of potting mix inside and available.
Agenda for the rest of the day:
Refill that hopper feeder.
Take Cub and dump cart over to the pole barn and retrieve the small compressor and bring it over to the house.
Move more grow bags downstairs so they can be washed out in the stationary tubs.
Do the annual drain the sediment out of the hot water heater. See if I can locate where the anode is so it can be replaced.
Change out/add water to fish tanks.
More filter cleaning.
Hope everyone has a good Friday ...
