Now you are a smart man!
 
Jim Thome was the Ford Ranger of baseball players. There wasn't much he couldn't do. I think he played for everyone but the Braves. Lol
I remember my wife yelling “hit me a homie Thome” when he played for the Indians. I made it to a few games when he was with Cleveland.
 
Im gonna get water test done for N04 soon. Should probably do P04 soon too. I NEED recommendations as to what to put in my filter. I'm gonna order the fitted basket for it too enhance its capabilities such as a refugium or maybe some sort of UV light system as I had one in my freshwater and it was insanely good. I'm thinking carbon obviously and marineland floss underneath the basket or on top of the intake. Any other reccomends? Also next fish is gonna be a designer clown or THE tang I've been waiting for.
I have an almost brand new Fluval 304 I can send you if you want it.
Way better than that tidal and more customizable as well.
 
Awesome rifle! I have my grandfathers old pre-1950s Remington Woodsman .30-06 with the 4 round clip! I love that rifle
I have a Winchester 30/30 with a scope that my father got new in his lat teens. He came from a big hunting and fishing family in northern Michigan. He shot his first deer and realized it wasn’t for him. It’s probably been shot only a dozen times. I gave it to my brother in law to scope in and he wants the first shot at it if I ever want to sell it.

He could surely hit em too! JT had a fantastic career! I always think of him as a Cleveland Indian
 
That one has a really unique look. Some of the tentacles are yellow, some striped, others blueish green... quite striking.
Nothing is cooler than a coral that provides it's own contrast within itself. It is going to look great against the banana grail that you got.

That was an excellent team, a lo of big names but never had the pitching by the time it came to the playoffs to win a World Series.

The lime green one is also coming home to reside in Rocks Reef. I've never seen a totally "lime" colored one like that.
 
Here's a .308 for ya Keith. Savage LE .308 with a 56mm vortex. It's the only .308 I've ever owned, and by far the most accurate rifle I've ever shot.

Beautiful John! There's a reason some military "occupations" use a .308 for long range shots! When a silencer (a real military grade) is attached...oh my...sounds a little louder than if you would spit out a watermelon seed, but the end results were shattering... literally!
 
I feel ya, my mother will be 83yo this year and has a lot of health problems.
My mother passed away last January at 73 due to Stage 4 lung cancer that metastasized to pretty much every where. She smoked 2-3 packs a day for as long as I can remember. No apologies or sympathy is needed, I hadn't spoken to her up until that point since I was 16, so probably close to 35 years. Long story, but she was not a nice person.

Totally clueless, guess I'll have to start watching baseball. 🤨

Sorry, I can’t help it. Sorry Keith that whole ordeal had to be rough.
