John,
You got this! You'll be in my thoughts as well
Just go easy after, a sneeze or a cough could have more behind it than you are expecting!

I haven't heard that before. I will ask my Cardiologist friend just for clarification...maybe they do it differently in North Carolina. Kind of like their BBQ sauce

My doctor told me it would be one day but when the hospital called to schedule it they said if you are over 200 pounds they do it on two days something about how the medicine works but I don't remember exactly what they said.

Hope everyone had a fun-filled Halloween weekend this weekend! The neighborhood was packed with kids this year; we went through about 7-8 bags of candy! River was also the talk of the neighborhood due to his costume (nacho libre) and riding around in his RC truck blasting the intro song from the movie

Good Morning Bailey!

A beautiful sunny day. A little coolish at 51 but I’m hanging out for a few minutes on the front steps to enjoy the air.

In my opinion, yes that's just a bit on the higher side. At least it isn't linear. If you're having trouble.with torches receeding and bailing this COULD be a part of the reason. I've killed a couple torches this way. Now I think higher flow is great for torches, but those are smaller frags, not a larger colony that can somewhat protect itself from the flow. Just my 2 cents my friend

I think I’ve got it somewhat eased up but this definitely where I lament not having at least a 3 foot tank. The IM 30l I had work well in situations like this. If one of those popped up for sale I’d grab it in a heartbeat.

Well tired of waiting for a personal or general good morning from you. I usually avoid butting in to discussions but enough is enough.

Good Morning John, and Rock!

Ok, then I won't tell you about this fantastic dark roast I had this morning. It had notes of chocolate and caramel. It was SO good...
Oh wait, you can't have coffee... 🤣

I slept in (stupid sinus infection) and when I got to work, our admin had made a pot of Kona hazelnut. Not really a fan of hazelnut but coffee is coffee and hot coffee is essential with sinus infections so...
