Couple a days ago I get a call from a LFS. They got a guy who wants to get rid of some fish and was I interested. Gave him a call and set up a meet for today as we were both off. Start off this morning heading for my physical therapy. Get half way there and lose power steering. Pull over and pop the hood expecting to have lost a belt. Belt still there but loose. Closer examination shows that the idler pulley has come apart. Call roadside and get towed to favorite garage. They get the parts in and on the road by 11, benefit of having a good relationship with an honest mechanic. Now three hours late for therapy, I go in anyway and they are able to get me in with a different therapist within 10 minutes. Get done with that and meet the guy at his house. In his room is a 75 gallon with an oscar, firemouth, pleco, clown knife and pangassius cat. The cat and knife are what he wants to get rid of as the store hadn't told him the true sizes of these fish and had outgrown their home. He had tried to find them a home earlier but no one would take them. After a slight chase and a bath, both fish were in boxes and on the way home. My camera battery of course died before I could get in box pics of the knife, so I had to take some bad ones in the pond. Cat is an easy 10-12 inches and CK around 18 inches.
