After snow in late April we now get 90s in May?!
Sinan and I got up early and tossed the tandem on the car and headed down to gasworks to join some RCC riders in a nice social ride. First down to the new Portage Bay Cafe for breakfast and then off to West Seattle for coffee. Pretty much all flat and good thing to because it was really hot! We came back by way of Fisherman's terminal and Fremont. Around about 25 miles in all.

Mom's Day
On the way to Mom's on a nice Sunday. Started off rainy up in Seattle but now we are nearing Tacoma it is sunny. I plan to do the normal things with Mom: help her with quicken, make sure her computer is up to date with patches and anti virus software and is backed up. I would really love to get her onto a Mac. It would save her from many of the annoyances that windows plagues her with! I may yet do it but it will not be a trivial change for her. She is still on windows 2000 and a very old version of quicken. At 86 she is not really up for large changes even for the better.

Spontaneous Fry Generating tank?!
OK Too Weird!
For the GSAS Auction I cleaned out and re-arranged several tanks. In the process I moved the tiny Celestial Pearl Danio's I had gotten as Fry from their 2 gallon tank to a newly fishless 20 gallon -
(Yes they love it but so do the shrimp! with no competition they are
multiplying like mad!! But that is another story)
- Anyway I did not get around to tearing down the fry tank and it has been sitting with moss, heater and a small filter since then. No light except for the window and pretty much ignored.
Today I happened to look in there and found fry!
What the heck!
I accused Esra of putting some spare fry in my tank until she pointed
out that they where probably the celestial pearl danio babies. I
thought they had been too young to lay eggs - guess not.......

Grook of the Day: T.T.T.
T. T. T.
Put up in a place
where it's easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T. T. T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it's well to remember that
Things Take Time.
