Thanks Kev!
Have one for me! :smiling-face:
 
In Cuba that is called revoltillo :face-with-tears-of-joy:
That makes eggs sound more delicious! I would love some green revoltillos and ham! I would eat them in a box and with a fox, on a train and in the rain!

Not having symmetry in the lights is driving me crazy but we can fix that later hahaha

What are you cooking in the crockpot with the ingredients WD-40 and cleaner duster? I’m sure that beer will compliment it! Wow does that setup look great! Can’t wait to see life in there. Well done Luis, well done.

The symmetry is not to bad. Depending on how much it bothered me after a few weeks might build some floating hood or trim them out somehow to make it look like one light.

Thanks Kev, I was planning on doing it today bro, if you can see I already bought the sand and everything, I had spoken with a LFS that sells prepared water from Red Sea Blue Bucket at $0.60 per gallon and I already had 4 buckets ready no matter how many trips I had to make, BUTTTT duty calls, my father-in-law is doing some construction on his house and needs my help and I'm going there, tomorrow or the day after I think I'll make the transfer.

That's a great idea!!
 
Love it! If I lived where people could see my house I would decorate as well.
that does not stop my wife, can't see my place from the road and there is barely any traffic but decorations go up. luckily her PVC flying witch got taken apart so i dont have to get that up in a tree!
 
Missed pickleball this morning...


Went to the range instead. Got my daughter sighted in for deer. Found out my rifle is off by a couple of inches at 200 yards so I gotta go back and work on mine later.

Went to a baby shower for some friends.

Home now. Ready to relax and watch Blacklist.
How’s the wifey?

    Votes: 6 17.1%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 5 14.3%

    Votes: 10 28.6%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 25.7%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 5 14.3%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 5.7%
  • I haven’t really considered this before
