Under the Porch with the Guide Bear!

Typically it's normal or common to change 20% of the water at normal intervals

Just curious here.
First you have to fill the tank, then change water as you said. What kind of water do you use? Do you use tap water that has been fluoridated and/or chlorinated or buy distilled water? Do the pet stores that sell aquarium supplies have any special type of water to use?

I use tap water and the fluoride can dissipate in 24 hours but products are available to make it safe to use out of the tap. The pet stores sell all different kinds of water conditioners. But yeah, I haven't needed to do any water changes yet and the water is pristine.

I have a lot going on later this week, on Thursday I have a very important on site appt at the Atlanta VA. I won't be receiving anything then but I hope to be getting set up and fitted in a new and much better Power Wheel, one that won't flip over. I flipped over on mine about 8 weeks ago and it sucks! Strangers pulled over and helped me right myself, SO embarrassed! I been up on three wheels on my Power Wheels at least a half dozen times, every time by accident and every time what a shitty outta control feeling!

And then on Friday morning me & Guide Bear have a flight to catch and now Two Canes is coming along.

Two Canes wants to open up a Cloud Nine Bible Study store in Akron and he wants ME to run it! I tried to talk him out of it, I tole Two Canes, I tole the High Bishop that Akron ain't in the Bible Belt, that what it is, Akron is the B-Hole of the Rust Belt. Canes wasn't convinced!

I went ahead and did some more dry fitting and I put in a few screws too so I could remove the ugly braces I made. And I thought it would be better to have at least those four shelves out of the way instead of stacked up somewhere getting moved around...

I just knew that one side would fit without too much trouble and that the other side would be tight! That bottom shelf on the left, I had to pound in place with a mallet. When I get back from Ohio all three of the left side shelves will get a blade width trimmed from them.



I have my virtual with Hagatha in about an hour! She's my Lady-Friend from the VA mental health clinic and she is helping me be a better person. I best not flirt this time, after all, she did cancel on me last week with only a 5 hour notice! I wanna call her 'Dr. Green Been' real bad! She is actually helping me a lot and Bunny and I, I believe, are almost there. We have been having really good talks about all kinds of things so yeah, that's my hope and I hope to make it happen!

My living arrangements will be crazy! The first weekend, my brother Joe will pick me up at the airport and I will stay at his place for the weekend and then the real fun begins! I will be staying with my best friend's daughter and her three babies!

A two year old boy, a four year old girl and a 40 year old huband! Her Dad and I have been best friends since jr. high school. And this is HER idea, having me stay with them. I'm pretty excited about this, I fuckin LOVE babies!

I got my tank in tip top condition, the biggest change is how well that algae has responded to my effort to control it. @Parka got this one!

Take a gander and you decide!

Hey friends! I'm in the land where it's High in the middle and round on the ends... O-HI-O!

And it is chilly wet & windy! 54 degrees! It was 89 degrees yesterday in my yard, angry bear gif!

I had a long day Thursday at the VA because Bunny had to drop me before her work and pick me up after. And my shrink, Dr. Hagatha Been, she wanted to visit with me since I had so much free time but I forgot to bring her ext# with me and nobody would tell me her number! So I dint get to meet her in person!

So yins heard about the blonde correction officer from Bama that's missing an upper lip, the one that took off with a gigantic murderer?

Well I THINK, but I can't be sure, what I think was that Dr. Been was planning a similar adventure JUST FOR ME!

So very tempting AND exciting! However, my better judgement tells me to just keep it 'virtual' with My Hagatha, at least for the near future.

I haven't eaten anything in two days now except for two apples and I'm not even hungry. I'm not tired or sleepy right now but I'm on 3 hours of sleep the last two nights.

As soon as I got home from the VA yesterday, 5:30 pm eastern, I went straight to bed, because I was White Dog Shit tired. I woke up three hours later and panicked! I thought I had slept all night and missed my flight!

And then I had another panic at the Atlanta airport. Bunny only dropped me off, she dropped me at the wrong door too but we didn't know it and she left. I did NOT know what where to do! I was supposed to be assigned a Delta worker to help me navigate that nightmare. I didn't get any help except from fellow passengers, people are helpful, such a good thing!

mkay, i got pics too. This first pic, I am a BAD man, A HE-MAN, and I take risks!

I wanted to discuss my current vehicle situation. First off, Working Mans Friend, my work wheelchair, I been driving it with a flat tire for a long time now, I think more than a week. It don't even bother me at all! It pulls to left a lil bit, not an issue, none whatsoever!

It's weird because the last flat I got before this one, I was devastated! I was like, "I Shan't Toil in such harsh conditions"! Hmmm? I wonder what changed?

Anyway, here is my current Power Wheels and please notice how the mirrors are facing forward. This was the best thing to do to this ride, it makes it more 'user friendly', allow me to explain. It makes total strangers glad to interact with me, even my next door neighbor, he is a no-nonsense kind of guy with muscles on the side of his head! And he is a fire fighter as is his wife.

What happened was, I was on my way home in the neighborhood and he was coming up the street, he stopped me to tell me something kinda serious/important, and I thought he was about to bust out laughing! I was like, "I will slap that sloppy grin right off your muscled face!" My theory as to why my forward facing mirrors makes strangers and neighbors so happy! It's because they can see themselves!

And they're like, "hey, looky at me!"


And this is what the new one will look like.


But I wish I could get this one instead!

Ohio weather, blechhhh!

 

[Parka]

There seems to be a shortage of upper lips in the Bible Belt! It must be a supply chain issue.

 

[Parka]

Hey friends, good morning! Now I just checked and I ain't got me no shortcomings. It's because I am a tall stretched out goon!
The one shortcoming I DO have, it's my missing upper lip and the plan is to grow a sexy porn stache to hide the fact of my missing upper lip, it's ingenious is what it is!

 

[Parka]

So last night was my first day in Ohio and I already miss My Bunny! Like crazy too...

Anyway Dummies, I went ahead and continued my newly acquired (good) habit of sleeping fully clothed sans footwear at Joe's place.

I even stepped it up a notch by wearing my jacket to bed. No, not a fancy Smoking Jacket, it's just a nylon wind breaker.

It's friggin chilly in the house and Joe ain't even cold at all and he's barefoot! I love to sleep in my clothes! Forward facing mirrors and sleeping fully clothed, me & Guide Bear gots it goin on!

By the way friends, the Guide Bear flew for free since he is MY Service Animal after all.

But the High Bishop, the flight was full so what he did, he went ahead and got all ' worshipped' up and he went ahead and climbed in the wheel well as a stowaway!

So the three of us are doing quite well, thank you all very much!

 

[Parka]

Good Sunday Morning, Dummies!

There will not be Mass today Under the Porch. The reasons are many! First of all, it is ONLY 34 friggin degrees outside! Plus it is MUCH warmer in the Belly of the Bible Belt compared to the B-hole of the Rust Belt! In early May anyway.

We went to see my Mom yesterday and we will have a Mother's Day visit today. She is doing okay I would say? Yesterday she said she won 500 dollars in some prize and she talks about getting married quite a bit. She said she was gonna get married to Stevie Wonder and that Janet Lee will be visiting soon. She has mostly stopped eating, I guess she takes a bite now and then. But I got what I hoped for. She was so glad to see me!

She raised a fine son. Happy Mothers Day to your mom.

Hey Chewy, @Illustrious Potentate , my A- Whole Brudder Joe made me listen to hillbilly music last night! Angry Bear Gif! But after a while I heard one I liked! It reminded me of you. The song is about coke and hard, very hard partying.
Do I get hillbilly credit if I like Tyler Childers? Have you hear of him?

I say Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson in concert in March of 2020 right before everything got shutdown. One of my favorites.

Good morning friends! I have a situation that needs to be reported to the proper authorities!

My A- Whole brother is cheaper than @Dole ver 2.0 !!! First of all, the giant goon, it's a bright sunny day yesterday but it's only 63 degrees outside and that heat miser won't turn the heat up!

He's in shorts without a shirt or shoes and I'm shivering, my bones even rattled I think!

And then in the afternoon he opens all the windows, even a window in my room! I closed that em effer is what I did, I say I say!

And the other action that needs reported, the great big goon, he has a big beautiful house in a hood where the houses are spaced far apart. It's a much nicer place than Bunnie's place.

And he is too cheap to pay for ANY TV service, not even Netflix! I had to watch a movie with commercials, and that is unacceptable!

It's easier for me to tell yin's this stuff because I ain't got the balls to tell my big goon Brudder!

Over sharing is over Bearing, and I Shall over Bear at my convenience, GOOD DAY!

 

[Parka]

Listen friends, please bear with me as I make ONLY one more MAJOR gripe about dopey dolt of a clod of a gigantic brudder Jofie!

He knows FULL WELL how much I'm suffering by being almost 900 miles away from My Semi Precious Pearl, My Lovely Lady Fish, oh, how I miss my Pearl, woe is me!

So the gripe is, I am being FORCED to view his trash fish instead of my robust and extremely healthy & happy Swimmers.

It ain't no fair! I apologize in advance for over sharing this filthy picture of Dopey's tank! Disgusting is what it is!
