Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
So I never updated you all, but I think you all deserve to know. My grandfather got a staph infection on his toe. They amputated the toe, and said that would be enough. They never tested to see if the infection went into his blood until the very end. The infection in his toe gave him a blood infection. He ended up getting sepsis. Those last few days his blood pressure got super low. We thought he was going to pass but he never did. I could not be there unforutantly, so we all send him voice-mails saying that we loved him and its okay for him to go. My father played all of those voice-mails to him and that night he passed. This happened in late July.
I'm so sorry for your loss Walker, hugs to you and all your family and lots of strength to get through this time.

So sorry Walker, sounds like he passed peacefully?

thats awful. im so sorry!

Well, when he first got the infection it was when we were supposed to do our annual beach vacation. Anytime we'd visit he'd cry because he was missing out on this one. This was my first time ever seeing him cry. He was super bummed out he had missed this one. So he had been depressed. Then once his brain got infected he was out of it and didn't communicate at all, so we're not sure if he could feel pain. They did have him on strong pain meds so we hope he didn't feel pain but he took his last breath in peace. It definitely wasn't how he wanted to pass away, but it could have been a lot worse.

You were not out of line at all! It's always appreciated to try and have fun and lighten moods. I know we often need it!
 
Do you Ship or is it just local pickup?
If you were local I would just give you a can. ;) We will have 35 quarts some are Peanut Beans also known as red half runner green beans, they are my favorites, and some jars are Greasy Back green beans.

My daughter and youngest son were in Brooklyn today. My oldest son just flew in from France and is leaving the Cleveland airport.
 
Very nice Luis, how many marijuana plants does your state allow you to grow? Maybe not such a great idea though with a young son. I would get rid of them.
