OK, here are some of my photos from Texas:

Success! I’ll post better photos once I get back home, but here’s a preview from my camera’s viewfinder.

Anyone looking for water storage tanks (for RO/DI or saltwater mixing stations) can find a huge selection at Green Concepts Container in Gresham. They advertise on Craigslist: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/grd/d/gresham-drinking-potable-waterfood/7726165135.html This is where I bought my two 75 gallon storage tanks. If you have the space, get storage tanks with the capacity for at least a 100% water change on your aquarium setup for emergency situations like this.

Here's another funny & educational video in the True Facts series:

What a great day! Thank you @Brittany for organizing and hosting the meeting. Your home and tank are both stunningly beautiful, and we couldn’t have hoped for better weather. We’re spending the rest of the weekend in Netarts and had a perfect view of the sunset on the beach this evening.

The weather forecast for Tillamook on Saturday looks great!

It's too bad their website is still offline. I think that would have cleared up the confusion. But based on the website URL (https://www.whiskeycreekshellfishhatchery.com/), I'm guessing the Shellfish Hatchery is the one we're planning for.

@Brittany, can you confirm that is the correct address? When I look at Google Maps, there is a Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery, and also a Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery. They are two miles apart from each other. I think the address you posted is the Fish Hatchery, not the Shellfish Hatchery. Which one is correct? Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery 2975 Netarts Bay Dr Tillamook, OR 97141 - or - Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery 7660 Whiskey Creek Rd Tillamook, OR 97141

Very interesting. Is the kole tang still in the west tank?

Posting this in the Out Of Bounds forum. Is anyone planning to travel to see the total solar eclipse that will cross North America on April 8th? I just booked a trip to Dallas TX to see it, so I'm crossing my fingers for clear skies. I have only seen two other total eclipses in my life, but only one with clear skies to see the entire event. My first one was in Australia in 2012, but the sky was mostly cloudy so I never got a good view. But in 2017 I saw the most spectacular view from Silverton, OR with perfectly clear skies, and I'm totally hooked on seeing another one. This one will last over 4 minutes compared to only 2 minutes in 2017. Here's the path: More details here: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/ Here are some of my photos from 2017:

Unfortunately they let their domain registration expire on Feb 21, so now the website is not accessible. If anyone has contact info for the owners, please contact them to inform them they need to renew their domain name before a scalper buys it and tries to extort extra money to get it back.

My wife & I are looking forward to this tour and meeting! We're going to spend the weekend in Netarts. @Brittany Thanks for hosting and organizing. 🙂

I can confirm this is correct. The pump body is the same for both models. Only the controller module that connects to it is different and the COR 20 includes a separate power adapter: Great idea to keep a backup!
