Pretty sure this vintage bit of art shares DNA with our Tacos....

 

Haha

 

Do they know when it’s going to open? That’s where the School of Rock does most of their shows, we’ve been doing them mostly at the school in the mean time which is a little cramped.

 

Labor Day weekend at the earliest?

A local Taco partaking in the Ssongkran Festival....

Kinda follows that a water festival should involve the local fire brigade....

 

I had a very bad day today...

Two of my Neon Tetras died a few weeks ago without me realizing and decomposed, which made the ammonia levels in my tank skyrocket and kill my pleco. Without the pleco keeping algae in check, it only took about a week for my tank get really disgusting. I came home from work today to find one of my four remaining Neons dead. I removed all of the fish and changed most of the water in the tank.

I kept five of the fish in a large pitcher which has a poor design for emptying back into a tank. So, I transferred them into the pitcher I use for emptying and filling the tank. I did this over the kitchen sink, which was full of water. One of my Glofish Tetras jumped out during the transfer, and landed in the sink. I exclaimed "Oh !" because I was startled, but didn't panic for long because after all the tank was mostly full of old tank water that these fish had been living in for weeks. My Glofish are generally really docile and easy to catch, but this guy was flapping all over the place. I attempted to scoop him up with a plastic cup and realized with absolute horror that the water was HOT! It was not boiling water, obviously. It was probably about the temperature I take a shower in, but to a tropical fish barely larger than a quarter, it was almost instantaneous death. The reason the poor little guy was swimming around so frantically is because he was being scalded inside and out!

By the time I scooped the fish out, he had already passed on, and he got a one-way trip on the porcelain express.

I planned on transferring all four Glofish to my 30-gallon once I get it set up and cycled, and I am absolutely devastated that I essentially boiled one of my pets alive. It was a total accident, but I love all my pets like members of the family, whether they bark or swim.

This is a 2009-2010 RC 5-lug with a 5-speed handshaker and a third pedal. As the proud owner of a 2nd Gen RC 5-lug (albeit one with a 4-speed slushbox), this particular type of Taco will always have a special place in my heart. However, I was unable to figure out what the point of that Benz symbol was...

New Jersey recently changed its laws, so now only vehicles 1996 and newer have to get emissions testing. This blue RC does not have an emissions sticker, which means it's a 1995.5! Also, I was surprised to see that this truck, a base model 1st Gen regular cab, had an automatic transmission!
