Morning Kittens 😸
And Frank. Interesting week, wife been flopping tween nice and mean but no overt blowup. Back started feeling it's normal self so went out to lift the old flange out. Stacking block one side, a 4 ft 2x4 with a old ratchet strap hook end, and my bottle jack. Stuck enough that didn't notice casing coming out till 2 inches. So it was put pressure on it while beating on it. Finally started up out the casing and of course galvanized, great can just use a vice grip to secure it except I can't find any of my vice grips, so off to ace to get one. Fun time pipe wrenching that flange off, got it all cleaned, doped, new flange in. Release the vice grips....nothing. So started wacking with a 2x4 and 2lb sledge, almost no movement. Got my 4ft 10lb sledge and it started to see my point of view. Got down, tightened up, gasket, pump, played he'll finding those hidden bolt holes. But that's done. Working slowly on piddling shit now like piping, filters, electrical etc.

Good morning😁
 
Still having a hell of a time getting any JEM seeds to pop. I've got 2 up so far. Out of about 10 I've tried. I've soaked them in kelp extract, I've used a heating mat. I've tried all sorts. I was told they were old and I'd likely have issues, but dang.

Hopefully I get at least one boy and one girl so I can make some more.

Scuffing embup a lttle might help the water get thru a little better like @JP1 saidive also heard a drop of superthrive can help. I just recently tried to germ seeds that were 15+yrs old and out of about 25seeds i got 2 to germ and one was female. When i use fresh seeds i have almost 100% germ rates So it could just be age. Wishing you the best results, hopefully you can get some of those JEMs to get going!!
