What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I'm heading Down East. going to be gone for a week starting tomorrow. Had lunch in Rockland last weekend though.
I probably ought to go to Acadia this weekend. Supposed to be beautiful and I have a season pass i've only used once haha. Ever been to schoodic point?
 
Does anyone know the feeling of waking up, walking to your tank to find your pectinia face planted in the sand! I’ve got to order some epoxy, my son borrowed the last I had to build an arch in his tank. Amazon here I come to give you money!

As requested by my son this weeks podcast of cooking with Kev I will again be making a pot roast, eight hours of low and slow. I think he learned his lesson to ask while his mother is out of town. Last time he told his mother that my pot roast was better than hers. You don’t tell your Italian mother that someone else’s food is better than hers! Not sure if the ER is buying the falling of the swing again. Now that he is 22yo we’ll need to come up with a different excuse so we don’t get those looks again.

No, haven't been past MDI yet. Which is being solved next week. Thinking to walk to Campabello. Depends on if I have energy. Always wanted to see how walking across the border is.
 
Just brought back memories when y'all talked about songs you heard as kids, and dropped a bunch of songs on you. That I remember from when my age was written with a single digit. Sorry for the flood. And thanks
These are great! Only one I knew was Marty Robbins.
