Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
PLEASE DON'T BUY A BIRD! Every single rescue in the U.S. is FULL and so many need good homes. We have them from the tiniest to the biggest.
Sun Conures can be loud. Although I have a Macaw who is so loud, he can be heard two blocks over. I can talk with anyone considering a new addition to their family and get you off to the right direction and the right people.
 
Gen X , the forgotten generation because we keep our heads down, mouth shut and work hard!
No one could forget you Kevin ;)
 
Some ******* (content filter likely filtered but it rhymes with bass whole, lol) just tried to break into my truck and my wife’s SUV in my driveway . ITS 8:34pm you mongrel! I am ticked. Cops caught him - I can see the cop cars across the street. I am super mad. We had a break-in when we moved in, I’m a bit protective of my family.

Same. Now it makes me really worried about leaving anything in my truck, or my wife’s for that matter. Better clean up the garage and fit hers in. My truck had no chance of fitting in but that’s ok. I’ll know the second anyone starts it, thanks to the AEW muffler delete.

I’m Italian, Sicilian to be more precise ….. she needs your prayers, hahaha
 
I love a good chili, I haven’t found a recipe that I love.

I tend to make mine different every time I make it. But I will say that smoked brisket is a must I. It. Or smoked pork. Hek any smoked meat.
