LIL Oxygen Sensor Thread Chaser - I don't think this always works out?

I run Trout in the Classroom for Texas -  the classrooms raise trout from eggs in refrigerated aquariums, then release them in the Guadalupe tailwater.  

While we have 32 tanks in that many classrooms, this year, only 7 of our schools could participate because of health restrictions.  Yesterday, four HS aquatic science teachers from Houston and San Antonio brought their trout to the river, their families, and some brought friends and helpers.  We met at the BBQ stand in Sattler grabbed food to go, then headed to our benefactor's beautiful home in the river bend.  

We also had an amazing window in the recent rains just for this.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next Thursday, two classes of fourth graders have a field trip to the river to release theirs - each kid gets to net their fish and release it in the river - always the highlight of our TIC year.

a welcome guest who's been hanging out in my garage for a few days

(shot offhand w/o flash)

 

 

kept these as pets when I was a kid

 

edit - I still can't believe all these men are afraid of a little spider - 

- ok, it's a major spider, but I used to let them run up and down my arms.

If I came across that in my house I would have a heart attack.

@Bluegillslayer

much better company than the brown recluse he'll eat,

but if I found him in the house, or even a wolf spider, I'd move them outside

well that's certainly misquoting me out of context

I promise I'll never do that to you.  

 

If you want something to worry, it's brown recluse.  

I passed out riding a bicycle one day, woke up in the hospital, and I believe it's because of a brown recluse bite I found on my arm.  In a year of monitoring, a cardiologist couldn't duplicate the skipped heartbeats found in the hospital - he finally told me to go away. 

Same thing happened to a friend just weeks ago.  

 

First qualification of humor is that it be humorous.  

It's called humor.  It wouldn't be funny if I didn't take the quote out of context.

Took a little bit work on the weekend, and three days of showing, but this house is someone else's next month.  Moving on up!

It's all good

 

And thanks.  We can't wait!

 

The new place is literally just up the street, but has a few more rooms, a two car garage, deck, and pool.

 

tell me you bought a boat - 

 

 - never mind, pretty house, though

 

My buddy married into a very nice uptown house, so when he sold his house, he built this with it... we call it the man cathedral.  

there's a modeling machine shop in the far end.  

He also loans it for traveling RV repairs.  

He worked on the house, also, combining the dining room and great room into a billiards room, gutted the kitchen and breakfast nook for a chef's kitchen.

The new boat has been an epic journey.  I'm actually glad we didn't pull the trigger yet. The new house was a spur of the moment thing, though we've been shopping on an off for three years.  I think the boat comes next year.  I miss having a powerboat, though the plastic fleet is always ready for action.  Every time the topic of a boat comes up, she says go bigger.  At this point I may be truck shopping too.  Rocinante may not be up to towing a 27' bay boat.

So long ago, from before kayak fishing was cool.

That’s pretty incredible. Mother Nature is pretty cool and at the same time can be pretty cruel.
