Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks Joel, I've got people that can check on him during the day but not at night. He's a wonderful dog so he is worth the effort and especially the extra love.
Yeah it's a hard thing to manage.
We're using the diapers and they work but even then you have to manage the use of them to avoid skin problems and if they get too full they just fall off anyways lol...
 
Good Morning everyone. Here are some pictures from a boys camp I was on with my brothers.
Looks like you maybe had too much fun 😁 😉
 
I think getting rest is out of the question if he's bring all the kids. But the bonus is he has kids old enough to take care of all the youngsters!
We did the no kids thing last month
 
I believe his brother is going to stay at his house with them, I could be, probably, most likely be wrong.
Taking them this time. The hardest part is preparing to leave
 
We are first camping in Sanpoint, Idaho and then in Kampbell, Montana
I know this fantastic restaurant in Sandpoint, best in the state if not the country or world. You can’t go there and not eat there plus you’ll meet the founder of this thread @00W , our favorite all around great guy Joel.
 
Haven't forgotten about you all. I'm on vacation and not on my phone much!
Miss my family though!!

Enjoy yourself, we’ll be here when you get back! Remember sunblock is your friend and melanoma is a thing. As a nurse you should be ashamed of yourself. Ok, back to making jokes at the Rocks expense like we have been doing for the last couple of days.
