Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Okay tonight we have a salad with bacon, steak, bratwurst, celery, cheese, green onions.
Green cabbage and lettuce mixed.

I made a dressing of mayo, Buttermilk, salt pepper and straight lime juice from the bottle.
Then I poured lime juice all over the salad.
Oh man that sounds really good!
 
What is this vinyl record stuff you speak of?
Ok we'll meet halfway. You bring birdsnest and I'll bring records. We'll meet up and eat tacos.

You had me at Hello! I had a ton of vinyl, graduated from Ohio State University and had to drive to St. Louis for post graduate school. Summer in a car without air conditioning. Thought my vinyl wouldn’t make it and gave it all away. Man I wish I would’ve taken it to my parents for safe keeping. I still have a record player!
 
Who would've thought to save it though? I'm sure that's what most young people did. If you ever get bored, it's a blast to thumb through the selection of a used vinyl record store. I like finding old price stickers and original sleeves, lyric sheets and stuff like that too.
 
Great news! I fell down last Thursday playing pickleball. Pretty sure I either cracked or bruised a rib. Only 1-5 more weeks for it to heal according to Doctor Google.

Dang man, there's always something around the corner it seems. Hope it heals up quicker than that

It only hurts when I stand up or sit down or when I'm laying down. I've played pickleball 3 times since and it didn't allow me down... Weird how it hurts doing nothing but not when I'm playing.
 
Good night! We're sitting here waiting on dinner in the oven. Nachos!

Weird. Maybe adrenaline? Or maybe the way the fracture runs, if it is a fracture.

I'm guessing it's a bruise. If it cracked it's minor. But I think it's the location. In the back but on the side. Bottom rib, maybe second from the bottom.

Also coughing hurts a little bit I don't have to cough so it's good.

Yeesh Tim. You never can catch a break. Get better soon! But...

One time when I had a sore throat doctor google said I was dying. :thinking-face: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
