Ugh, sorry guys for not being able to stay caught up with y'all. I've had a terrible feeling of vertigo the past day and a half and it keeps me up all night making me feel very nauseous.

Sorry Walker, I hope you feel better! I have had great success treating vertigo when it wasn’t due to the inner ear but cervicogenic vertigo over the decades. Very common in post whiplash patients.
 
I’m not sure what you are expressing here, cold wave or miserable heat. Thumbs up or crying emoji. It would be a crying emoji in north east Ohio.
 
Wow! That is super bright! Space invader pectinia!?
Yes sir! Kinda disappointed with it’s growth pattern, the reason I got it was because of how they grew like fingers reaching to heaven. This one growth pattern is more like a chalice for some reason.
 
Shimano is my Jam! Both Baitcasting reels and spin caster reel are Shimano. I have not used another brand since I was a teenager.
my fresh water is Shimano but need something bigger for surf.

Hope you feel better soon my friend!
 
Have a great day John, that’s an order! My wife practiced your black jack trick but said she couldn’t use because when cards are cleared they automatically get put back into the automatic shuffler? Good news is she was up $45 last time I talked to her. That means my upgrade will be a lot sooner as well as retirement!
Awesome that someone tried this Kevin! Each time a new deck is shuffled, start a new count. You may have to survive a few shuffles before the deck goes positive.
If you play on a multi deck game, you may have to wait until the end of the shoe.
