Hey, we got what is considered the #1 BBQ joint in GA relatively close to our house. Better than Texas BBQ! (Been to Hutchens in TX, which is considered the go-to BBQ place there)
I love a good BBQ, I have only had it at one place in Georgia in the town we hunt in and he put a vinager based sauce on it so I didn't care for his because I hate vinager.

Never heard of vinegar-based BBQ! This is the place by us

Good morning everyone!

Crazy weekend for us with trying to scramble to get river’s first party done.

Went very well! It’s first birthday was last weekend but we had to do his party this week because of the weather. He had a good time and everyone that came did as well!
Hard to believe he is already 1!
 
Fish are fine with that? And just curious, what do you use other than those? Amd good morning Rock!
Fish are fine with what? Ammonium and Urea? That's the basic elements in fish poo!
Good morning sir
 
I admit I’ve gotten away from cows milk. My wife was somewhat allergic to milk and cheese (didn’t stop her from eating her fav cheeses lol 😝) so I’ve gotten to like almond milk.
Have you tried the A2 milk or the lactose free?
After infancy, humans lose the ability to digest lactose, hence SO many people are lactose intolerant. Actually, all mammals lose that ability. That is why if you give a cat or dog milk, they get the squirts.
 
Would this be a good spot for maybe a birdsnest coral? It's in an area that gets pretty good flow and its about half way to the top...

Yes, birdsnest like high par and flow. They grow quick, so keep that in mind.
 
All I'm going to say is I have never in my life heard someone say, oh man you have to go visit Ohio! They have the best BBQ...
You have a point Amanda. There are some "BBQ" places here in Michigan... well, they do not compare at all to real, southern BBQ!

Morning Bailey
 
Hard to believe he is already 1!
Alycia and I tell each other that all the time! It feels like we were just in Orlando with him, and that was back in April

Good morning Bailey, glad River’s party went well!
 
Over . Wasn’t a bad night. Finished a doodle that’s reef themed. Uploading in a bit. Just sat down and had a quick bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios
Good morning Steve!
