Coastal Redneck
120cc
Alright, something came up and the monkeybiking mission got put on hold, same as any potential sailing voyage... no big deal, there will be other days, and it's REALLY hot and humid out there, so no worries. But I have some excellent news for y'all: we have a new addition to our family!!! While I was bagging some merchandise at the big ol' WallyWorld on Highland Avenue in National City, I saw some betta fish in the aquarium aisle, and I thought how cool it would be to have an aquarium set up so the cats can trip on it, LOL.
Wound up spending nearly $200 more than I originally intended, but we now have a choice aquarium with glow-in-the-dark arches, a large hollow DinoCroc skull, some plastic glow-in-the-dark plants, cool gravel, phony jewels, the whole nine yards. LEDs under the lid, and heaps of supplies to keep the whole shebang a going concern. Took all the necessary steps, introduced the fish, and now he's happy as a b@stard on Father's Day, cruising around his new digs and checking everything out. He's eating too, I put some BettaMin Flakes in there and he's macking, LOL.
Dixie is lying in front of the tank watching the betta as he swims around. I'm saving the surprise for Sage & Wingnut, who are both sleeping out under the shotgun shack carport, where a nice breeze funnels through and keeps 'em cool, LOL. The Stalag 13 gig didn't last long for Wingnut, he's already out and around, no worries. Can't wait to see his reaction once he figures out there's a live betta swimming around the tank... I already Wing-proofed the cover or hood of the aquarium, so the little betta will be safe. Wing might try to scoop him out through the feeding hole, but that'll be a trick he won't pull off, I reckon.
Anyway, I need to pick a good name for this little Siamese Fighting Fish, something to do with monkeybiking, 10-4? At the Australian MiniRiders website, Shearer has a dog named Sprocket... what cool name can I apply to this little fish??? A little help here... howzabout y'all throw out a few names for this little firebrand? The internal sides of the tank have some kind of reflective coating on 'em, and every time the betta sees his own reflection, he goes wild and jerks around... just what I want to keep the cats occupied, LOL. Wingnut is gonna go bananas when he sees this little snack item cruising around in front of him. I bought some more disposable cameras, and I'll be sure to break one out to catch Little Wing staring at the fish, LOL.
Boy, this little fish is QUICK when he wants to be, he darts around like nobody's business. I'm sitting here in front of the big ol' electric fan I also bought today at WallyWorld (that was the reason I went there in the first place), and I'm having a cold beer which tastes delicious. I had to take a second shower once I got back to the house, the humidity out there is pretty fierce. Hey, talk about lazy, my fan has a remote, LOL. That way, when I'm sharing quality time with the cats on my rack, I can switch speeds without disturbing them, 10-4??? Modern technology is great, don'tcha know??? If I'm not careful, I'll wind up joining that "obesity epidemic" here in America, LOL.
Well, time to mosey on out to the kitchen and grab another longneck, that first one went down pretty fast. I wonder how I can give the fish some beer without affecting the water quality in the tank? Bake it down into beer pellets or something, except that would cause loss of alcohol... hmm, I'll hafta dwell on this one for awhile. Maybe I'll just give the fish some chronic, that should make things interesting, LOL. Next thing I know, he'll be raiding the fridge and staying up late watching TV, 10-4? LOL. Reminds me of the time some clown and I put beer in the hummingbird feeder: the first hummer to hit the feeder took a big ol' chug before flying off erratically, narrowly missing the neighbor's chimney. Poor little dude got hammered with that F-18 metabolism, LOL. No worries, he was back the next day, he just had to go home and sleep it off.
Alright, I'm outta here for now, color me gone, don't forget to break with those names for the fish, aye? Little dude is so cool, he's cruising around and checking out the DinoCroc skull I put in the tank, it has a nice long hollow area so the fish can hide if Wingnut's staring gives the betta the willies, LOL. "DUDE!!! ENOUGH WITH THE STARING ALREADY!!!" LOL. Oh, yeah, I forgot to describe the fish: his head is black, but the rest of him fades to this bitchin' purple color, and he has a little red on his pectoral fins... is that the right word? The fins on the bottom of the fish, up forward. Okay, now I'm outta here, gotta go sling my question to those Crusty Australian Demons O' Dirt next, LOL. HASTA LA VISTA!!!
