I hope you have a great one my friend. This song has really become so relevant as I have gotten a little older. It kind of helps me not to be so hard on myself, when there is no reason for it. Stay up buddy

Great song choice John!
To me, I find it amazing that TOOL is actually totally relevant as is Bob Marley as well.
I have a couple of songs from both that a lot of people should listen to, if you know what I mean....
 
I just noticed my royal gramma swimming weird and noticed the right side of his abdomen is bulging out, I don’t think he’s going to make it he was one of my first fish and is at least 4 years old. Sorry bad pic.

Sorry man. That stuff is always rough.
 
Well on this week’s podcast of cooking with Kev, instead of dueling banjos we have dueling chicken dishes. Chicken in wine sauce and chicken parmigiana. Paul the one piece in the container on the left with the extra mushrooms is for you, your welcome.

They both transcend their eras. Some music relates to its time and generation. Others are timeless and generational.
 
Here are two photos from the bird sanctuary. I was too carried aways by feeding all of them almonds lol. They had over 250 birds there, including an emu. It was awesome.

Aww man, Kevin the worst part of this. My wife's RG did this and laid on the bottom of her tank upside down for 3 days, then got up and lived for another year! Here's hoping for the best
