Seemed like they went together well. ;)
Of course! 15, you’ll be shopping for a new BMW coupe this time next year!
 
Joel, how was your second day off?
Thanks Kev that's nice.
Did as little as possible still more than I should.
This Sunday is a big one for us so I have to use my energy wisely this week.

He actually told me he wants an older white Subaru.
Couldn't believe it. :astonished-face:
 
What's everyone's experience, if any with aqueon heaters?
I've only ever used them in freshwater.
Never had a problem just wondering if someone has anything to share.
My eheim doesn't fit in my sump anymore due to the fuge so I had to steal and use 2 aqueons.

Couldn't believe it. :astonished-face:
Has he taken a look at a Yugo? Sweet ride!

Believe it or not, those are kind of aloof-hipster cars here now. I think the kids are (thank goodness) more mindful of eco systems and giving back. Subaru seems to promote that ideology.

That's very interesting.
Here we have the big diesel truck kids and the Subaru kids.
What you're saying about the Subaru kids is spot on.
He is very eco conscious and gas mileage is important. He's working at the Cafe and saving up money.
 
Good night everyone!
Back to work tomorrow for me :crying-face:
It's Easter week but not spring break here until next week.
Talk to everybody tomorrow!
