Wow, absolutely beautiful. Definitely worth the wait! If you frag it today I want first dibs.
 
Don’t think it matters what side of the fence you’re on, please pray for Charlie Kirk who was shot today on Utah University campus. A young man in his thirties with a wife and two young children. If you get a chance to see the video, take it from me, don’t!

I think when they are growing well, they double in size like every 4 months? I wanted something with a lot of color and when I saw this rainbow chalice I was on board!

Prayers for him and his family.

My wife just saw it on Facebook and said the same thing. It's an absolute tragedy what this world has become.
 
Good Morning Kevin,Paul, Rock, and everyone who else is up right now.

Anyone have any big plans for the weekend?

Quick run to our rental property to get some stuff from storage
 
Do I go with PVC or silicon flexible piping for a sump? How do unions, bulkheads etc work?
I would recommend flexible tubing. Just make sure you don't use metal hose clamps in your water. Since the only spot that will need a serious hose clamp is the return nozzle which I think should clamp outside the tank, no problem. I use a banding tool and heavy zip ties for hose clamps
 
sleep any last night? I missed a lot earlier so sorry of you posted already.
I probably conked out about an hour after my last post. I read middle grade book that the kids left out until I got sleepy enough that I dropped it, then turned out the light and went to sleep. Up at about 7 because the family was getting ready for school. Went back to bed until about 1130. Drove my sister-in-law and some kids to a cider pressing get together to meet my wife and the restt of the kids. Sitting and resting at the moment because there are more people than tasks and I'm still tired and a little fuzzy feeling.
 
Just confirmed Charlie passed away. 😢😠
So messed up and very sad. Prayers for his family! UVU is only 3 hours from my place. I used to drive through Orem all the time, sad what it is becoming.

it takes a lot out of you. you really need to rest and not run around like that. the steroids are masking your weakness. in 2-3 days the steroids will wear off and anything you did in between will be felt.

Ya, truly sad, can just pray for his family now.
