I just started a new page in one of my log books and today I also recorded the song that was playing at the time and I think I’m going to start recording my mood in my log too. What do y’all think?

Favorite Friday
My favorite band, Opeth. I've seen them 7 times live over the last 20 years and am hoping for an upcoming US tour.
Here's a more mellow track off my favorite album.

The last time they came around was in 2022 and you could find me front row.

Swedish Progressive Metal at its finest.
Mikael Åkerfeldt has great vocals not only sing, but his use of false vocal chords creating a heavy, aggressive sound.
 
I'm 47 will be 48 May 17th so I'm not the oldest or the youngest here. I love birthdays because it means I was blessed to make it another year when so many didn't get the chance to have another one. I am a firm beliver that everyone should have cake and ice cream or their favorite dessert choice on their birthday and that the calories don't count on that day!

I like it!
 
What do y’all think?
I use Aquaforest Reef Salt+ and I’m switching to Red Sea coral pro salt.
Is Red Sea good? I’m switching due to Red Sea is readily available.

I use Red Sea but, the blue one, love it, mix super fast and keep the parameters that my tank like

That one is very nostalgic to me. My wife sang that song to my two boys to put them to bed. An excellent choice for a good frame of mind.

Used it.
Good salt, mixes fast.
Used it for a few years.
I use IO purple and red sea blue bucket now, depending on what is going on alk/life/time wise.
 
Let me tell y’all. 35 is so much better then 40.

I think to myself…i didn’t used to wake up every day with back pain. Now it’s just a thing
Wait until you're a little older - back pain only works if you have a back...
 
its ok @GAreef this shouldnt be a point of stress for you! no one feels bad if you dont answer immediately.
happy birthday to all the birthday folks!
@Usarmy227 even if you were the youngest, who cares? we dont! :cool: ;)
