Definitely man, I think you made an excellent choice by putting him in that. His confidence will go through the roof when he sees what he can accomplish with hard work, like Dad
 
So my wife was out shopping today and snapped a shot of our car. No real reason to share it other than I know a few of you like cars and I like the shot. Not bad weather for 12 days before Christmas.

I have two Christmas parties this evening, please don’t miss me Tim. Already snowing pretty good supposed to get far worse. Probably be an early night. Leaving for the first one in about 1/2 hour.
You're going to be gone for a while? Oh no....

Darn there starting at 5:30 pm . I better leave now so I can make a excuse later . We don’t have snow storms to blame .
We've had hurricanes in December. Try that!
 
Sorry, not trying to show you up Tom but CB seems to like sports cars. This is my classic muscle car from the 90’s, 1991 Yugo coupe!

Good evening!

I think the last time I posted here was before thanksgiving ... (Sorry!). I hope you all had a nice holiday.

Things in the tank stopped dying. That one torch was gone by the time I got back and one hammer looks, eh... Other than that everything is doing okay.

I got a yellow corris wrasse today as my final fish. Total is 13 fish in the tank. For those of you that have or had a yellow corris wrasse, how long did yours hide for in the beginning?

It's good to see you, Walker. I think the first one I had was hiding for about 5 days. This one I have now hid as soon as I put him in the tank, but the next day I saw him out. It's worth saying that each of the two has a different schedule. The first one I had went to sleep at 9 pm and this second one at 7 pm, so I had to move up my fish feeding schedule.

Mine only hid for two days but I've heard of them hiding up to about a week.

Howdy Walker, I think it wasn’t long, like 24 hours or so.
