Good morning!!!!

Once again, RS, slow down, yer makin' the rest of us look bad. Again!:laughing:

RNG,

If I moved any slower, you guys would be mistaking me for someone who was comatose ... :laughing:

A second vote for B and H Photo here ... always great prices and great service to go with it.

RS what are you doing for humidity control with all those tanks in the room?

Keeping them fairly tightly covered.

Plan is to make lids for all the tanks that don't already have them out of 6mm Clear 4' x 8' Twinwall Polycarbonate sheets.

At roughly $50 per 4 x 8 sheet it's fairly cheap, the clear stuff is around 90% light transmissive, has some insulating properties, isn't prone to warping like solid acrylic from the heat, and is easy to work with/fabricate.

Humidity definitely won't be a problem in the winter (current getting shocked every time I touch a doorknob or pet one of the cats), at times other than winter there is a cold air return for the HVAC in the ceiling in that that I can open to circulate the air.

I doubt that it will be an issue ... but if it becomes one, I'll probably just stick a bathroom vent fan on a humidity-sensing switch in the ceiling and vent the exhaust outside the house - it's a fairly short run (<20') to get to an outside wall.

Went out and got the mail, man that wind is cold. Phone says 12°, but found out my thermometers usually show colder than weatherbug location.

I buy some from B&H.

-11F went on dump did food shopping so Mrs. didn't have to go outside..needed something to do.

I made a executive decision today....figured I'll need to go to the dump tomorrow, getting the mail wont happen till tomorrow and IF there are any parcels I can't get them until Monday at the earliest, I might as well hunker down today and do it all tomorrow. I do gotta go get a courier package from the drop spot and they are open on Sundays, so I will do it all tomorrow.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the next day. I love being 'retired' in the winter. I do whatever I want, when I want.

I have one hummer that sits on the feeder on the sunny south side of the house, waiting to attack any others that approach. In the summer, it sits on the other side of the house, in the shade. A few birds hang around all winter, so I keep at least one feeder full on both sides of the house so everyone has a chance to eat.:banghead:

We have a similar one at the back feeder.....he's a tough little guy. We have three at the front feeders who stick around all year.....in summer we have a bunch....like a dozen or more.......I think they're on vacation right now.

It seems like Prime means delivered in 2 days after shipped. Shipping may be 2 or more days after ordered.
Must be a new Amazon policy.

Yep price has gone up and service has gone down.

Good evening all. 32F this morning, light wind, clear sky. After a slow start, high temp made it to 61F, south wind stayed light and sky clear. Went for bike ride and nap and that's all. Start time got pushed back, 9 AM still only 34F.

Congrats to all the HA survivor.

I’m a prime member, but it is not as good as in the past, fewer things qualify and more things end up taking longer. I don’t use the streaming services, I’ve considered dropping it.

About the only advantage I get with Prime is the hope it will ship here. Most often regular Free Shipping doesn’t, and sometimes Prime doesn’t. Very very rarely will anything ship out the same day as ordered. I consider it fortunate if it even leaves warehouse in 2-3 days. In past year, Prime has deteriorated terribly. I ordered something for Christmas on the 15th. It shipped Prime on 23rd arrived after Christmas. Seller said it was Amazon’s fault not theirs. I never order if it says out of stock but that seems a standard response when I complain.
I guess still better than ebay which often doesn’t consider me still in USA.
