Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
The internet seems slow this week based on the places I go.
Beef tripe and salmon has to be one of the worst smelling combinations, but the dog loves it.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
No the entire world went to sleep....except for the poor buggers in Mosul...the international news involved a few dead here and there, chemical castrations and the execution of one of the Saudi massive royal family, oh and a spat between Hilary and Donnie...so no change there then. I even started listening to The Today Programme and gave up! It was a non news and events day!
I read that a very large percentage of people under 35 in the US would prefer a giant meteor to hit rather than have either one of the gruesome twosome elected...I would tend to agree, it might give the world a bit more va va voom...we are becoming dull...can't someone emigrate with parrot?

It's a magnificent Autumn (Fall) day in the GTA. Bright blue skies, temperatures around 18c and the colours of the trees are outstanding, better than I've seen them for some time. Long may it continue.

Sunny sorta here today. First decent day in a week. A bit cool at 13. And trees they seem no different then any other fall.
I spent 90 mins last night voting. Joys of California ballots. All the voter initiatives take time to read up on and decide. 13 page ballot.
There is an attempt to get rid of death sentence, an attempt to keep the death sentence but overhaul it by removing appeals steps.
Legalization of pot.
Various tax increases for things like schools, transit, healthcare for the poor, etc.
Banning of plastic shopping bags, charging for shopping bags, tax increase on smokes including e smokes of $2 per pack, tax increase on income over 250k, well to extend it since it already exists.
Cost 5 dollars and some change to mail it.

I thought we had finally moved on from the bankrupting idiocy of that awful baby boomer generation. Now the world will have to put with those geriatrics for a few dreadful years. Hopefully either one of those dribblers will simply die quickly in office and we can all move on.

Downside to a marine tank, when something happens you can't just get some water from the sink and fill it up.
Had an issue, had to set up a temporary tank, fish seem okay, but normal tank is currently empty, now with cooler water temps the RO/DI filter takes like 2-3 hours per 5 gallon bucket and I need to make 3 buckets worth.....Long night ahead.

Oh. Ours is in the kitchen and, once a fortnight, I fill a saucepan half a dozen times and tip it into the tank with a quarter cup of reef salt (one quarter cup, not one per saucepan). Fish not dead.

I woke up at 6am with an excruciating headache, I wanted to cry it hurt so bad, a few Advil later its slowly getting better, but man was a rude way to wake up, the pain is what woke me up, I didn't need to be up at 6am.....lol
Still hurts, but certainly tolerable now.
