What's up g-friend!?! I think I remember sending you a text since we spoke? Maybe not though. I just checked and yuppers, I did on the day of the "great American eclipse". Didn't you get it? I included lots of photos. New phone number for you? How're you holding up there with your "storm"?

Oh wait, I seem to remember seeing the eclipse from Oregon. Don't know what was happening that I did recall it or didn't respond (or did I?) I'm good. This storm is wild! I have family and friends all throughout the state. So many lost electricity. My sister lives north of Tampa and is about to get hit. But, at least Irma is losing strength. By the time it hits the north of Florida where I live, it will just be another heavy rain day. But, yeah, me and my torts are fine, thank God! So, what have you been up to?

Just read the last text you sent with pic of eclipse. I answered back and ask for pics of your new tort. I didn't get a reply.

But for you, Gillian, 40°c is wonderfully pleasant weather, correct? We've been having a 90°-100°f heatwave here as well but suffering bad smoky air here from bad forest fires all around us. They are making the air quality "unhealthy for anyone". I couldn't go outside to smoke much during those times.
Just saying I think of and miss you and our connection often. When I don't "read" from you I worry about you and Oliver. But you know how I am.

Hi Ken, nice to hear from you, hope you are all well.

Yep, 40 deg C is what I love. So long as the sun isn't striking in my head I do not mind HOT, really HOT weather.

Sorry, do not mean to keep you worried.

Take care Ken, and hope to hear from you soon.

Well back to work . Things are getting back to normal. We have portable buildings as offices . Now to keep the hands from bringing in mud . Some people just don't care about nothing. I'm going to flip out if one more person brings mud into my office or even looks at my stapler. Hahahaha But really I'm going to staple my sticky note not to touch my stapler to their head. That should help them remember .

The boyfriend decided he needs a new friend. She doesn't have a name yet.

Got home wired up my night box . One plug controlled by a thermostat . I placed the thermocouple close to the floor . I have two heaters one set lower than the other on the built in rheostat on the heater . This way the thermostat calls for heat both heaters come on . If one fails to heat the other will not let the temperature get to low . Pretty ingenious if I do say so myself. All of my tortoise enclosures are wired the same . Just thought I would share .

Also made the door flip open and make a table or work space for health checks and what not.

I asked the same thing! I love the idea.

@MPRC
I know you are a photographer and my friend just had some photos taken that are really cute. Can I share them with you?

We had thunder and lightening, big time rain drops and even a bit of hail last night. I know this, not only because I could see and hear it out my window, but because the National Weather Service interrupted my TV show, right at a most crucial time in the show, to tell me I had thunder and lightening, big time rain drops and even a bit of hail!!
