Well, I have to go get more snails this morning. I put snails in Sirius' (one of my bettas) tank to help clean it; he took them out this morning with one bite each. Wow. He hasn't bothered them in months; they were both near the water line and waggling antennae at each other, then BLAM! he nailed one then the other. I guess he just hadn't noticed them.

BTW, Slim (if you don't mind me calling you that), this Oct. I'll be doing a thruhike on the Lone Star Hiking Trail in East Texas and creating an picture album with the results. It's a 96 miler. I figure about a week to do it. Plus REI in Houston wants me to take a GPS along and map the trail for them then make a slide presentation of the trip. I'm also helping US Forest Service (Sam Houston Natl. Forest) to map it out and maintain it along with my friends at Lone Star Hiking Trail Club. visit: www.lshtclub.com for maps and info.

woke up to my wife informing me the roof swamp cooler was pooring out water. Too bad she didn't know to turn off the water supply when she turned off the cooler. As soon as it gets light, I am on the roof.

Still hot and dry in NM. Not much of our usual summer rain, yet. Good time to be in the mountains if you can manage to not set them on fire.

It's going to stay in the upper 80s rather than upper 90s here today, but the humdidity is staying at 95%+ thanks to all od last night's rain. Maybe we'll get more today. It looks like one snail is okay; the other one is barely hanging on. My other betta, Severus, is having problems too; I thought it was ick but he's not responding to any medications for it. So I'm raising the water temperature to make him more comfortable and I'll talk to a fish specialist (who happens to own the a pet store here) later today.

Good morning everyone. Hey Slim, no questions today. Oh yeah, check out my 'coffee pot' in the pictures section. It was laying around the house for years before I found it and realized it was a better deal than coffee stuffed filters on a string and (dare I say it?) instant packets. Now all I need to do is find dehydrated scones in a pouch.

Well, I have to go to work, but plan to make it as painless as possible. Will get a little ride, a little computer work in the library, a longer ride with some intervals, a little more work in the library, a couple of meetings, a little ride and come home.

My coffee choice on the trail is drip filter cone. Want to get a permanent gold one. Drip into insulated mug, 16 oz at a time.

Path, I'm a transplant from Pa. The fam. moved to Round Rock in '75. After my time in the Army I came to Texas in '78. I'm half Texan on my wife's side; she's a country girl from a small farming community outside Austin (Thorndale). Worked in Austin for 13 years then went into ministry. Did my Masters of Divinity at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary from '93-'96. My excursions are my "prayer and fasting" practices, since I'm usually alone and eating the bare minimum, LOL. Anyways, I'm just a country boy from Amish Dutch country.
