So today was a weird day. Today we had to rescue a fish, god that is a funny thing to type. I spotted one of the loaches in Dad's fish tank in a funny position and not moving, on closer inspection he was moving, the moron had got himself stuck in a log. What ensued was a daring rescue effort to save the stricken fish. It began with my Dad, the fool that he is, trying to push and pull the fish out, obviously he stopped that fairly quickly and tried a new tactic. We brought in the heavy equipment, a steak knife, and tried to cut through the log, the steak knife failed, so we went for a new tactic, at this point the fish was thrashing in the log. We ended up sawing the log with a saw, prying it open with a screwdriver, and he was free, it was an extreme tactic, but he got out in the end, and he is still alive, albeit pretty badly hurt from the thrashing, and with a big mark on his back where the skin's been damaged, just thank the lord he's actually alive. so today was an unusual day, but we saved a fish, so all's good.
