That is a wonderful gift. Those are all really great books just stuffed with knowledge that never gets stale.
That's exactly how I felt about it Tom. This is a thoughtful gift that will actually be used and appreciated. These books are gold!

Good morning, all.

Missed another 14 pages. Hope it was all good tunes, good music, good equipment, good fish and good coral.

Make it a sunshiney Sunday no matter the weather. A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition!
Good morning Chris!

Amanda, how did your hubby and father in-law’s project go, are you painting today?
I painted it yesterday and ran the new lights as well. I really like the new light the shimmer is so much better than the redsea lights. I may eventually add another bar or two if the one is not enough.

The lights aren't on yet but this is what the mount looks like. Not fancy or anything but it gets the job done. There's a few spots that I'm noticing need a little more paint added but I can fix them without taking the mount down.
