Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Funny, I didn’t think of the resort area as having the church crowd. Interesting mix of both people.

Or did I fall for one of Kev’s jokes again?.
Huge church crowd Jennifer.
 
Burritos for me for dinner.
Made em misself :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Too tired for anything else.
Really really hope y'all had a great day!
 
I think we're having frozen lasagna. We were shopping most of the day and we're worn out. I think my daughter is making a desert though. Some peach or pear or both crunch?

Didn’t realize your place was where the locals came; thought it was literally in the resort. Or maybe it is and I just didn’t understand how the town is mapped out.

That is a proper good dinner Joel. When are your next days off?

We have relied on the locals for the last 8 years. They help us get through the winter.
Over the years the skiers and boaters remember us and they come back.
We're right off the highway right in town.

Ahhh. Good location. Glad the locals have your back.
 
We cannot add deserts to our taco truck for fear I might never make it off the truck ;)
We can build a room behind the cab like truckers do?
 
Right now I’m replying to two threads in real time, one of them being Tim’s; who is also replying to both.

Exhausting and confusing- how do you all do it? I’m to old. I’ll stick to reading through everything in one thread and slowly replying and then to the next thread…

Any plans, or just decompress?
Gotta mow the lawn.
It's been 7 months ;)
Other than that Monday is usually just chill. I try not to schedule anything on Monday. I used to do a water change every Monday but I've been slacking on that mostly.
Thanks for asking :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:
