Back to Normal "Blogging"

I've been trying to get caught up at work. Sometimes, with little success. However, I think that I am almost caught up - at least to the point that I can start blogging normally. I will have to post-blog about five or six posts and then I should be back on schedule.



So, stay tuned!

MONSTER Picture Post(s) in Process...

Just to let you know...



I just finished processing 85 pictures, preparing them for this blog. It is actually taking a little while for them to upload. When they finish uploading, I'll start working on the actual links to them. What should happen is that several posts should pop up earlier than this post, and as a result, you might need to hit the "refresh" button to see them. [The "F5" button will cause this page to refresh.]



And as always, the pictures can also be found in the three links to the right: Pictures of Aquarium, Pictures of Christian and Other Pictures.



I will also place a "final" post to let you know that I am finished with the links...

Note about Pictures...

For website space reasons, I have stopped making the pictures posted "clickable" to a full size image - meaning that the pictures posted here are WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). If you would like to have a copy of the full size picture emailed to you, simply email me which picture you would like, and I will send it to you.



This also means that the images in the Pictures of Christian to the right are also WYSIWYG. Sorry, but I was getting fairly close to my maximum of storage at www.toddcomp.com.

Back at Work...

I've fallen behind in updating this blog. I've taken a bunch of pictures for the blog, I just haven't had the time - or felt well enough to do anything about them.



On the aquarium side, I injected CO2 into the aquarium using the Jungle Labs CO2 Fizz Factory this morning. I also fed the killifish in a new way: I simply killed a few of the small pond snails with the aquaclips. The killifish attacked the remains of the snails with gusto! Hmmm... I may have found a renewable (and free!) food source for my killifish.



Anyway, I've got a ton of work to do and quite a few picture posts to prepare. I'll post back here when both are finished (at least, when the picture posts are done.)



Later!

A Few Pictures from Meg's Birthday Party

Meg Cardin is one of my nieces. She turned 9 this week and her parents gave her a birthday party at her grandparents' house. Meg was so busy that I didn't really get a chance to take a great picture of her, but that's ok - it was her birthday party and I'm glad that she got to do what she wanted to do.



Here's Meg





Here's Maddie (Meg's younger sister)





I've put the other picture from this set in the Other Pictures link to the right.

Aquarium Development

Actually this post would be better titled: "The Cat Has Discovered The Aquarium".



This morning I couldn't find the cat anywhere - usually Thumper will walk around with you looking for an opportunity to trip you. She's a little more persistent in doing this if you haven't given her food yet. But this morning I didn't notice her anywhere, but when I went back to feed the fish, I found the cat. Specifically, I found the cat staring, almost in a trance, watching the killifish. Here's a picture:
