What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Following, whoever has Ig and doesn't mind sharing it, post it to follow too, I already follow a few Smorgs
Mine is my_favorite_breed_is_rescued on IG Facebook is Amanda Miller Brown my picture is of my horse Leo.
 
Share it lol, via pm if you like ;)
I have a few vids on youtube of fishing stuff, mostly saltwater, its a hit and miss, best vids are "out running a storm" and "Catching sharks off Mexico Beach" the shark vid is misleading, we were not trying to catch them, we were targeting black sea bass. I do have video of how I make my blue crab traps. If you watch them subscribe please.

I'd say it's hard saying as they haven't been out as long as the bigger names I posted previously. I think the cuber truck is pretty ugly ugly though lol
Very ugly there is someone that lives near us that had one I see it often on the road near my house.
 
I like you too much to be jealous, but I'll be honest, I had to fight it off lol.
Man, I cant wait to see your progress on it. I remember standing up on the bench seat of my Dad's 86 F150, trying not to knock over his beer.
Lol different times.
Thanks man! It's been a huge project. Unfortunately the motor(that I pulled out of a 95) lost the rear main seal after it's first maiden voyage and leaks terrible now. Gotta pull it out now so deciding if I want to do a refresher on the motor while I'm at it. So currently she just sits. Maybe this summer will be the summer lol

I thought they looked ok at first, but the back end of them, in person is just... off. Idk if it's the height of the tailgate or what but from the front it's like ehhhh, then it goes by and it's like, nope, nah uh, not nice lol.
 
So no guessed on the little hair like things? Do you think aptasia or something harmless?
Sorry, I thought I posted but it seems it wasn't posted, it doesn't look like aiptasia to me

Me either but I'm rather be at this so often doubt myself. Lol
 
Hi everyone! Busy evening for me finally got a chance to get a video of the little hair like creatures in my pico. They look like little individual hairs and don't appear to be connected together. What does everyone think they are?

It's hard to tell. I thought hydroids but then at the end I didn't see any sort of heads so it throws me for a loop

Sorry Amanda, it wouldn’t play for me.
 
Finally caught up! Jeez, I might just start hanging out exclusively on my build thread. I can just go to the last page, read my last post and just like that I’m caught up.
 
Thank you for your service Keith! My best friend retired after 20 years as a C130 pilot and now flies for Delta and he doesn’t complain!

I'd update mine but then you all would go post 36 pages and I'd forget where I was :zany-face:
