00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[tbrown]

Good morning Tim, enjoy your walk!

Well the walk was enjoyable until the rest of the family decided to join me on lap #2 and my son just wanted to argue and complain the entire time. Then my wife decided it was her walk and we had to go at her pace and where she wanted to go so now she's mad at me because I peeled off and finished mine.

I did not get drawn unfortunately. In Arizona we are allowed 1 deer total per year. Only youth can hunt does and there are only about 25 of those tags annually.

Archery is over the counter but I haven't been using my bow as often as I had in the past and currently I'm fairly certain I have a rotator cuff issue so now hunting is out until I get that figured out.

Brother, go over to Texas. You can take all you want. Not really, but they are generous on their tags since there are so many deer. When I lived there, my freezer was always full. I hunted Axis year round since they are an exotic and don't have a season.

Sorry it wasn't as relaxing as it could have been.

Good morning Tom!!

Wow, seven pages since last night just to catch up enough to say:

Good Morning Smorgville!

Amanda, I also support you. The number of times I've seen food and said, "quick where's my camera" can be counted on no fingers. When I see food I eat. Also hope your migraine gets better soon.

Tim, sorry you walk became more like a mini marathon.

Bailey, so happy to here about Little River. Still praying for your family.

Everyone else, whatever...

I feed the LPS corals this morning so the pumps are off. My new return pump came in last night so I'm getting ready to install the new pump in place of my horrible 'emergency' pump. If it goes like normal, it will approximate an action comedy. Since almost all period action comedies include this song in at least one scene. Play this in a couple of minutes while you envision me crawling around the tank, gently swearing and getting thoroughly soaked:

Good luck brother!!
I'm with you on the food pics. When food is in front of me, I have one focus and it's not taking a pic! It's filling my belly and trying to not get any on me if I'm wearing a white shirt while eating bbq ribs! My wife always, and I emphasize always, tucks a napkin in my shirt like a bib if I'm wearing a light colored shirt and we are out to eat! Cracks me up... but, it doesn't stop me. People may look at me like I'm 'special'...

Thank you for your support my friend! It's in time like these that your true friends show up to support you while the others just try to throw you under the bus like Kevin...

It makes it easier to pickle people once they're tenderized....

Hope the rotator cuff issue is an easy fix!

Yeah. Hopefully. I scheduled an appointment for after Sheep Camp so the 10th of November.

I'm special too, otherwise I look like I have a very cheap Hawaiian shirt on

I was successful, and wet. I had it all planned out I even bought an extra elbow barb/street spigot so that I could have it all pre-plumbed. The controller and power brick were already in place. In theory yank the emergency pump street spigot out of the bulkhead, pull the pump out of the sump, drop the new pump into the sump, push in the street spigot, hook the pump cable to the controller and turn it on; 2-3 minutes.

The reality all of the above steps followed by; new street spigot is marginally smaller and pops out of bulkhead spewing about 800 gph of Red Sea Blue Bucket saltwater all over the foyer, frantic reaching for the on/off switch, knocking the ATO sensor off the rear panel trying to redirect the geyser, followed by retrieving the ATO sensor magnet from deep in the bowels of the stand, pulling the street spigot from the emergency pump and replacing it on the new pump, placing the new pump in the sump again, pushing in the street spigot, turning the switch back on while holding the street spigot just in case, reinstalling the ATO sensor and cleaning, floors, walls, tank, and stand of excess Red Sea BB.

Fall of ideals is my favorite album from them! I love the early 00’s metal core scene. Nowadays you have Newcore/metal core which can sound almost like rap or a little poppy. Not a huge fan of that.
Here is a band that’s got a mix of old metalcore but some more modern twist to it.

Oh yeah, that was a great album!

Totally agree with you though, not a fan of the pop/rap influence with very few exceptions.

Also update for everyone

We are like 95% sure River will be coming home with us today! He has passed all of his tests and even pulled the NG tube out of his nose for us because he was eating so well. Thank you, everyone, for bearing with my absence over the past week, and thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers.

WOOOOOO!!!! That is fantastic news!!

long morning but got 2 sections done. seams sealed and fiberglassed.
probably going to have to stop for the season soon. getting too cold for epoxy to cure.
Was hoping to at least fiberglass interior and exterior but I might not make it to the exterior hull. Maybe we'll have a mini winter summer.

Um, we are not allowed to use the “I “ word anymore more, just ask the Gaurdians. It is now referred to as indigenous people summer. I hope Rev doesn’t see your post, I know there was no ill intent, I just don’t want you to go the way of Amanda.

And they say keeping a reef tank is fun!

Hello Jill!!! How's the tank coming along? I'll swing over to your build thread.
