Weekly Rambling #68

By SouthernStar71 | SouthernStar71 | 6 Apr 2025


Hello everyone.

This is on Sunday because I went to a fish club Meeting in Nashville on Saturday. Unfortunately it rained most of the time I was driving. About the only time it did not rain, I was indoors. I did get to visit one LFS and attend the meeting. The LFS was amazing. They had close to 100 tanks. They had freshwater and saltwater. It being a Saturday, they were busy. It was an experience for sure.

At the meeting I had made arrangements to pick up 6 of a Goodied species and some 3D printed items. Those were the main reasons I attended the meeting. After the meeting they had an auction. I could have been slightly more aggressive on some items, but it being my first auction, I tended to be passive. I did not purchase anything during the auction. The meeting itself was fun as was the auction. I just wish the rain had stayed away. I also went the wrong way twice. Once on the trip down and once leaving the meeting. I probably cost myself 30 minutes going down and 15 coming home. The club does have their first Swap Meet May 3rd. I do plan to attend. I do know where to go and how to leave. Hopefully the weather will be better.

For some reason I haven't built any LEGO sets in the last week. I do want to assemble them. I also want to get "content" out of the assembly. I would definitely assemble more if I did them off camera. I might just do that in the future with some sets. I can show off the finished build for "content".

My playing of video games on the computer has also suffered lately. FM25 getting canceled has been one of the reasons. The main reason has been phone games for Swagbucks. Getting SB and converting those into Amazon Gift Cards has been wonderful. It allows me to get items for "free" so to speak. It has been mostly items for fish. The last thing I got was a ZISS Bubble Bio Moving Media Filter for Fish ZB-300. The next things I'm considering are an egg tumbler and cheaper versions of the Moving Media Filter. The cheaper versions are Chinese knock-offs, but they are also shorter. This is a plus for me as most of the tanks I keep are shorter tanks.

This weeks Ramble isn't very long. I apologize for that. I'm going to go get a Bagel with Cream Cheese and a Coke Zero Sugar to enjoy while I watch the Japanese Grand Prix that is on the DVR. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
