I have only seen one or two white butterflies around here and the cicadas seem to be about the usual noise level. Not seen any skinks either but I suspect that is a northern thing 8)
It's been years since I read that. I think I still have the books here though. My first of the fantasy genre were the David Eddings Belgariad and Malloreon series.
Terry Goodkind is now on my list next time I go to the library. Perhaps he will add to my favourite Terrys - Brooks and Pratchett :lol:
Arrange a get-together then advertise it locally in malls, supermarkets, any bulletin boards you can find, lfs, schools etc.
Got a local freebie paper? Ring them and ask them to do an article about you wanting to start a fish club.
So Legend of the Seeker is based on the Terry Goodkind books?
I have not watched Seeker on TV (my dad loves it) nor read any of his books. Perhaps I will try one myself.
Nothing wrong with that at all Joe, I just wondered if you had some interesting new fish or pants in mind that required a pH out of the normal range
The meters need to be regularly calibrated too I think and I don't know what that involves.
It is a long drive to make with one so newly hatched. A pity though as I am sure it is going to be a very interesting weekend. I know the club has put a lot of thought, work and effort into it. :bounce:
At that stage you might appreciate a weekend break
Seriously, you are quite right and you have other priorities. Perhaps next year??? I think it will be in Hamilton then.
Indeed we did. All our members brought along a container of tap water, one of tank water, and every pH test kit they could find. These varied from test strips, liquid and electronic over a number of brands. Some were new and some were many years old. All gave the same results no matter how old (or new) they were.
The pH test stuff I use occasionally, when I get curious as I rarely test my water, is about 15 years old and still appears to be accurate. I do not have access to an electronic tester any more but my results are the same as other, newer, tests used.
I have a fancy JBL test lab that Grant won years ago at a conference. The other tests in it are no longer accurate but the pH seems to be fine.
