Although I had to use the snow blower today and it was cold, the sun came out and it felt a little bit like spring.

Yeah, when I cook it's never a quick process. I usually do the eggs and barbecue stuff on the smoker. Everything else my wife or daughter cook.

I am the resident cook of the family but everyone else knows how to cook.
My daughter learned to cook with me at the restaurant when she was 14 but they usually leave it all up to me.
What I really need is a resident dishwasher. ;) :crying-face::thinking-face:

@Calmwaters
I didn't want you to think my replies short in any way.
I am enjoying your build thread and think you are amazing!
So much of the posting on this forum is about having the perfect tank right away or throwing something into the water whenever there is a problem.
This is discouraging when what all tanks need is patience, time,thoughtfulness and love.
Slow and steady wins the race and we are all here for you always!
Just wanted to give you an atta girl and felt my replies might be a little short.
Keep on truckin. :)
