Good morning!
Woke up at 3 am worrying about my healthy jawfish disappearing at night. Fired up the flashlight, saw a cool spaghetti worm, favias trying to sting neighbors and a red/white setosa loving crab. No bobbit, no mantis, nothing hungry for pearlies.
But this morning!!! This guy was hiding under a coral so with much splashing and shrieking... E1CF0F25-9A1F-4D96-AEDA-C7EA97B71ECE.jpeg C91458AF-9C1C-4386-B545-8A480FF44114.jpeg

Good morning. Winter, you stop complaining about heat. Only to complain about snow and cold and hope for spring. I don't think I complain over fall or spring. But summer sure gets to me.

Oh man. It's almost lunch time and I don't know what I am going to make. :(
 
So this morning I took my walk on the beach and so far in the 3+ years I have lived here this was the longest walk I did. It was 3 miles. Remember I am old and have an aluminum knee.

I started my walk and was immediately met by a friend and her spotted baby.

They were so close I could have gotten them in a Ricky Nelson. (Google him)

Anyway I went down the 176 steps and started walking east.

The sun was just coming up. It was warm, about 78 degrees which is warm for 6:00am.

As I walked, off in the distance I could barely make out a structure near the shore.

I was hesitant to go there because it was getting hot and now the sun started blaring.

It started to get hotter and I was far from any help, fresh water or an LFS.
I was thirsty even though I was drinking plenty of seawater.

I started hallucinating. "It was good to be out of the rain, in the desert, you can't remember your name for their ain't no one for to give you no pain.
I set free the horse with no name. But I named him first".

I was getting closer to my goal. Just a few hundred yards more.
Cicada's were screaming all around me and fish were jumping. Seagulls were yelling and I know they couldn't wait for me to drop dead of ich or worse, Uronoma and the fact that I was not quarantined or medicated.

Closer, closer until, until, I made it.

Now I could tell what it was . I am not going to say it was Noah's Ark as that would be just conjecture and I never like to conjecture.

But there were some very strong, albeit inconclusive clues as to what it was.

I am not sure and I am not saying this definitively, but on the stern, painted with orange acrylic paint were these words that were partially or almost completely missing most likely from being eons old.

@sp1187 How goes the power outage?
@Mike from TN God bless you and your friends families... This is just one more chapter in the process of grief. I am sorry for your loss.
@Wen When are we making crab cakes?

My little mutt gets the good dog award tonight. Long couple of days at work, short on sleep, high on neck pain... I just wanted to go to bed. She keeps grumbling. I begrudgingly got up to let her out and she ignores the dog door and goes to the tank. Since my ATO died, I had stuck the Sicce Ultra Zero in my top off bin. It has a ten foot house on it. I had done a top off before bed, unplugged it... Done ✅. Nope... It created a siphon and dumped a good 4-5 gallons of fresh water in my sump. The skimmer was overflowing like mad.
I pulled the hose, dialed back and drained the skimmer... Then gave the good girl a cookie. Amazing given that she is half deaf and the tank is clear on the other side of the house!
Now, we are both going to bed. I would try to count sheep but that hasn't worked. Maybe I should count all of the fur, fin and feather babies living with @WVNed ....
Good night, Reefies.... See you in the morning.

power outs don't affect me.
bought the house. month later had a full house generator installed.
power goes out and i'm back up automatically in 15 seconds.
but no outages in the neighborhood. just everywhere else around us.
