It is probably going to get noisy here as my son and his partner (menagerie) are coming up with their 2 border collies. The dogs are good most of the time except the younger of the 2 goes berserk at the big boxer next door - who replies in kind. Luckily, Grant and I will be away for Easter weekend so won't be around to hear it. While the kids and dogs have the run of the house and yard, we will be heading for a National MX5 Rally in Napier. So any of you there this weekend, keep an eye out for us! Ours is the bright red one with FIX A PC plates :happy2:

Welcome back old timer! How's the family? Is your son still keeping fish? How is your health these days?

I don't know that "interested" would be the word I would use for me but I am curious to know what the machine will do once you have transformed it :dunno:

No idea. I am just passing on the message.

Hi and welcome back. What sort of car accident? Are you OK now? What has been happening in your part of the world?

This will be held Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 August, 10am - 5pm daily at the Claudelands Events Centre. Tania Dunkley has asked if anyone is able to do a fish display at this. She said she knows the Hamilton fish club is unable to commit to anything but wonders if there is a keen individual, shop, or group, willing to give it a go? Even just a single display tank would do. This is a good opportunity to get fish keeping out there as a great hobby. Anyone here willing to give it a go? If so, contact Tania ASAP.

When it is in the tank add charcoal to the filter and the tannins will eventually be removed

I think mum was just being thoughtful - knowing you were a bit pushed for space while the house is being repaired so put 2 in the 1 egg as an economy measure

The South Island's west coast has a lot of native timber washing out to the beaches too. A good place for a holiday

By woody, he means solid wood, no rotting bits

What, a chauffeur? :gigl:

Rata and rimu both look great!

It is my understanding that light scratches can be fixed by polishing them out (glass has to be dry) but most you are stuck with.

Congratulations dad! :happy1: :bounce:

Grant was approached by a couple when he had the Chrysler down at Heritage Day at Brayshaw Heritage Park. They asked if he and his car were for hire as they wanted to take friends on a surprise vintage picnic in March. Today is the day and he has headed off, dressed up, to play chauffeur. He picks the people up then drops them off at their destination (they have no idea where they are going or what to expect). He then goes back at 5pm to pick them all up again.

They are in very cold streams in Marlborough. I have seen them here at Onamalutu.

Better late than never. Caper only posts sporadically so has a lot to catch up on each visit!

It wasn't me. I had to Google it to get the reference :lar:

I went to ship them but.... Someone had eaten them all!!!! :dnc1:

I happen to have a bottle of Melafix here. It says it "treats ulcers and open wounds, rapidly repairs damaged fins, treats fin and tail rot".

Who knew fish keeping could be so tasty! :thup:

+2 :thup:

I don't think they will last long enough to ship !drool:

I'm afraid not LA as the icing does not cope with being thrown about by the couriers
