Kingranch suits you John, you could never pull off buttercup or tulip anyway.
 
When I came up with this username, I was just lurking on r2r, thinking about MAYBE starting a reef tank. Fast forward a bit and I'm stuck with it lol
Well good thing you didnt choose KingBranch because you would be the adult version of this guy!

Now that's a blast from the past. I completely forgot about Paul Revere and the Raiders and I think I owned all of their albums at one time.
Good morning Tom! I’m not trying to be your mother, well because we aren’t related and I’m a dude. Did you and the Mrs consider getting a hotel room Tuesday night for the procedure on Wednesday? I hope you got the first time slot so you don’t have to wait until the afternoon again.

I appreciate the thought. We talked about it quite a bit. My time slot is pre-allocated to check-in at 1pm and procedure at around 3pm. We've decided to just go up early in the day and hang out in Chandler until its time to go over.

We were originally going to do just that, rent a room and stay in the area. Part of the problem is our dog, he has significant skin outbreaks that they think are caused by Cushings Disease, his food has to be mashed up because he has no teeth and he is functionally blind but too independent to admit it. Our local vet stopped doing boarding about a year ago and none of the other boarders in the area are really equipped to, or willing to, deal with a 'special needs' dog.
