Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could safely transport koi for a drive of about six hours?
I was thinking about putting the fish in a big cooler but am concerned about sloshing water.
The koi are about a foot long, so I'm rather concerned about how to safely transport them without sloshing water all over my vehicle.
I'm sorry to say that given the economic downturn and the resulting budget cuts, my job as a high school chef instructor is now on the chopping block. Some of the teachers of elective subjects are being terminated to save the critical positions of "must have" core academic instructors. Closure of our student operated restaurant will also allow my district to recover a tidy sum of money in funds that they they would not otherwise be allowed to touch according to state law.
On the brighter side, I've got a line on a job in the northern part of the state and have a good chance of landing a contract.
As difficult as it is to be pink slipped, this may wind up to be a good deal for me. Not only would the school in question be larger but instead of living in a small rural area that's dominated by greasy spoon diners and Mexican restaurants, I'd be living in a town with a fine dining restaurant, a sushi bar, a seafood place, and a steak house ... in addition to all of the greasy spoon diners, Mexican restaurants, and fast food places that can be found just about anywhere in the state.
Larger towns lend themselves to having more restaurants as well as a greater variety of restaurants which in turn creates a demand for staff which provides chef instructors like myself with job opportunities since someone has to train all of the high school students and high school graduates who work at such places.
Job security ... you've gotta love it ...
For that matter, larger towns also have a wider selection of homes, so instead of a remodeled log cabin that was built back in 1910, I might actually find myself in a home with central air and heating. Now wouldn't THAT be nice? (GRIN)
In the meanwhile, if things pan out, I'd love to take my koi with me ... so does anyone have any suggestions about how to safely transport large koi for several hundred miles?
I wish I could take my entire pond with me ...
