Great news on your cardiologist appointment! Ah, I miss Popeyes, we had one in front of our local Walmart but it went under before the chicken sandwich war began. I loved their sides, so different than any where else. I see that they are hiring, perhaps you could get their email so I can forward my resume before I leave to move down there.
Just another perk of moving Kevin! I told them you were a chiropractor and showed them a picture of your tank. You start Friday as manager!

Well thank you John, I was hoping to start at the top as the French frie guy but I guess I’ll have to prove myself first. I do have experience working the french fries as I did it one summer working at Hardee’s.
 
Good morning my friends! I just got a great report from the cardiologist, so naturally im doing what any sensible person would do after that.....



Im going to POPEYES!

you know, lobster is a faster way to elevate those cholesterol levels. Especially smothered with butter and served with fries.

show him the picture dressed as a nun. I'm sure he will fit in.

Can I have fries? Nun for you!

Good morning fellow smorgs. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Mine is already going pretty well. I thought we were losing the Yellow Wrasse. It was up before 8am (never up before 9am before) and kept lying on the sand then go up to the surface, swimming erratically, then it was stuck to the overflow grate. It seems fine now. I think something, most likely the Kleins Butterflyfish because it is the only troublemaker in the tank, woke the wrasse up and spooked it.

Got my black worms, heading down to rinse them. This one really speaks to me, I want to hold him and squeeze him and name him George!

Hope you got those for the fish and not yourself. You don't need to go to extremes, I'm sure lettuce will be okay again soon.
 
you should try them in my tank.
I waited for you to show up and wait on the mailman with me. I ended up drinking that whole bottle of scotch alone 😔
