When things go haywire (May to Sept 23)

Image
The year my life went upside down in no time                                    May 9th to Sept 7th 2023 is when it all happened without warning, the day  my world flipped & I landed in the hospital, due to a gallbladder attack & a pancreas failure, all at the same time, I remember getting sick & going to the  hosp, getting registered & that's ALL I remember, After that, was all blank 💁 I didn't wakeup till 3 wks later after they had put me in a induced Coma so  they  could work on what was going on with me, I was in BAD SHAPE   I barely  remember anything, other than Buddy & Jimmy coming to see me when they could  cause they kept me on some STRONG MEDS so I wouldn't move around . They had me with all kinds of hose's, tubes, machines, & on a floating bed  that kept me turned so my body fluids would keep moving every so often...

Keeping our heads up & our bills on a limit

Image
  Since we got our property paid off we have been looking at projects to do  since we couldn't do it while paying off the place at 500$ every month & the rest of the bills we had & now we're 500$ ahead every month we can. We have started a list of the projects we have set up to be done for the trailer 1st, & that covers remodeling what we can by starting with the  floor 1st, that's to rip out any & all carpet Then paint the walls next. We started in the living room & got it just about done , we just need the  bottom base board trim & then we move into the kitchen with all the  cabinet area get that all painted & done then put a new flooring down. Once that's all done & out of the way & completed we will go straight  into the hallway & get it all painted & refloored straight into the last  bedroom of the trailer & that will be finished for the other projects. Which will be to put up a awning in front of th...

List of aquatic plant's with videos

The info I put on this page will be everything I have watched &  have followed some key things they talk about in raising plants I tried a few years back & had " some luck " in what I had & lost a lot of plant's at the same time,  so I got out of the guppies & what plant's I had left for a few years, & started watching videos. For the past 2 years out of the fish hobby, I've been saving up some  of the videos I've been learning from, as I start a new journey in  raising aquatic plant's I would like to share with you, this 1. b-low Water Gardens 101   < These videos is very useful in growing plant's rather in a tank or pond, it all resolves to the goldfish - koi fish & the reason for that is cause they have the HIGHEST nitrogen level. MOST IMPORTANT Video EVER Made  This has to do with why  it's important to do your research on the  nitrogen cycle for plant's & fish at the same time, B-4 you start a tank...

Aquarium plants I have & more plant's I want

Image
pogostemon stellatus octopus- Aponogeton crispus- Giant Jungle Val Rotala indica- water wisteria- Amazon swords- Hornwort- Crystalwort This is just SOME of the plants I have & the 1's I want to start growing Most will be stem plant's that grow from the substrate & I want them to grow as big as I can get them B-4 I put them online for people to buy, I'm not interested in selling a small portion of the plants I grow. I have the tanks & ponds that I can grow good size plant's to sell & that's my main focus in growing plant's is to sell to people who want the MOTHER PLANTS, I will have more than just 1 of each plant so I won't run out & have others growing to take place of the 1's that sell. I have a plan on how I want to make this happen if things change in the future with the economy, so this is in the process of being worked on with getting the things I need to get it started, so it won't take too long for the plant...

MAINTENANCE FREE POND FILTER SYSTEM

Image
  Rock and gravel is a very old type of filtration media   Rock and gravel were used for a long time but have   lost favor with many Pond owners. One of the reasons for that fall off Is that the surface area per cubic foot Is Not Very High Or so people think isn’t very high, Yes rock  is a solid material that takes up a lot of space, But that is also a natural material that is formed on a very fine structure. That is in rotated on a microscopic level, The surface  would have a fairly High microscopic surface area Which is never talked about when it comes to talking about gravel  surface areas. A filter using rock or gravel will require a larger footprint to handle the same size pond as some of  today's newer media, rather it's smaller, the filter the more  frequently it requires maintenance Rocks on the bottom: When we talked about putting rock and stone on  the bottom of the Pod with meet at least or up a passionate feeling in...

We're making headway

We have a place we're looking at getting & it's on a acre of land that's flat  how it's laid out we have enough room for all 6 dogs with 4 pens for them that's 3 runner pens for 3 separate dogs  & 1 big pen for 3 dogs that works. We'll have to  TAKE  our time  in moving & not get into a hurry to move  if it takes us 3 mons then fine & do all the  SMALL  moving at  NIGHT   stuff that can fit in the car & van that can't be seen by the neighbors. The place has a well for water, something I've never had to deal with so I  have to do some research on how a well works & what needs to be done  as far as maintenance & whatever else I need to know about what to do. B-4 buying a house on a well  <things we NEED TO KNOW. Well Water Pressure How It Works  < things to keep in mind. As far as the WELL goes, I  may have to   hire someone  who knows how  to maintain it, & do w...
