Good night peeps! I know you all are getting sick of my birdsnest pictures but I’m really loving how the birds of paradise and blue zinger are growing into each other.

That is gorgeous!
 
@00W Where are you?

I'm here #1...
Listening to some of you guys music and working on re doing our menus for the restaurant, adding new items, removing items I don't want to cook anymore.
Prices are extremely high for a lot of stuff so I'm making sure everything is being used more than once on the menu.
Nothing worse than having an item which is synonymous with itself only, if you know what I mean.
That's why tacos are so cool 😎!!
It's a lot of work and we're going to reprint and restuff them ourselves.
 
Ok here I am for #Smorgasbordafterdark
Paul has gotten us rocking along nicely but it was cold, rainy and dreary here today....
Loving it 😍!!!!
Nice July weather in Idaho.
Kind of reminds me of San Francisco, and my home by the sea...
Oh yeah, and a little of this too...
 
This tank has always driven me nuts...

Went back to the T5's I had in the garage with some new bulbs.
Little gravel vac action.
I didn't realize how many fish were in there now that I can see them 😳 😅 👀
