Same. We're going through 10 gallons of ro/di a day in our humidifier. I can barely keep up with that, plus evap from my already running tanks. I haven't been able to make up enough water to get the contest tank filled again.

Of course work just keeps needing more time from me...

That's my problem with a contest. Now that we're close to another lock down I'm busier than a 1 armed paper hanger in a gale.

The thing I can't figure out is how work knows when I want to do something fun. I can go weeks without them needing hardly anything from me and then, as soon as I find something interesting I'd like to do, they have a million needs. I'm a database consultant, so my schedule isn't very consistent anyway, but it's nearly guaranteed to be a busy week of I choose to go on vacation.ย  Apparently I should join a nano-reef contest anytime I want to significantly increase my time and earnings ๐Ÿ˜‰

The money is nice, but fishing season is coming . They better realize that I won't be running my ass off then.

Bakinโ€™ 9 to 5: Dolly Parton rolling out limited-edition baking mixes

ย 

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) โ€“ Dolly Partonย andย Duncan Hinesย are collaborating on a line of baking mixes and frostings inspired by Dollyโ€™s southern roots.

โ€œIโ€™ve always loved to cook. Growing up in the South exposed me to that authentic Mom & Pop kind of cooking. Baking was no different. I had plenty of people to show me whatโ€™s what in the kitchenโ€ฆ my Mama, my grandmothers and my aunts were all wonderful bakers,โ€ said Parton. โ€œThey taught me everything I know, from biscuits and gravy to chocolate cake. Now I am proud to share some of those favorites with all of you.โ€

ย 

The Dolly Parton line includes a banana cake mix, a coconut cake mix, buttercream frosting, and chocolate buttercream frosting.

Duncan Hines is even creating a baking collection box that includes a Dolly-inspired tea towel and spatula.

If you want to bake just like Dolly, Duncan Hines has also included recipes for both the banana puddinโ€™ cake and coconut cake.

Dollyโ€™s Baking Collection will be available online starting at 8 a.m. EST on Jan. 26.
