What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How was the church crowd today Joel?
Not as rambunctious as usual.
I think everyone was outside, well, not everyone. It's 69 right now . :star-struck:
How was your day Kev?
 
Good morning everyone! I don’t expect to hear from you, Amanda, today. I hope you are enjoying your time with your son. So I had a dream last night where Tim, Amanda, Joel, Jen and three ladies came to my house. Tim you were wearing a cowboy hat and had a mustache to your jawline. Joel, you had a full head of hair so I assumed you had been pulling our legs about the bald thing. Jen you had long sandy blonde hair, scrutinizing it, it did not appear to be a wig. Amanda, your hair was red, I figured you ladies can change your hair any day of the week. I asked how you all got my address but no one would give me an answer. I asked the other 3 ladies their R2R names and I didn’t recognize them. Thanks for stopping by all, I will always leave the lights on for you. Unfortunately I didn’t hand out birdsnest frags in my dream.
I have a full beard, my wife doesn't like when I go mustache only. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Also, the cowboy hat is for special occasions so there's a possibility I would have been wearing it.

Good day, thanks for asking Joel. Watched my Gaurdians beat the Yankees in the to of the 10th. Had my mother over, my wife was making pizzas so my brother in law, 2 aunts and a cousin came over to eat. Helped my daughter and her fiancé move a dresser into our house and took my mother home and helped load a table and chairs into her fiancé’s truck. Hey, you asked.

That was a lot in one day! Good to be surrounded by family.
 
Only in the reefing world would one understand that after a day of big tank maintenance- you make TACOS and eat them while staring at DT. Also, they understand the “blue” tacos and refried beans ~ hahahaha.

Apologies for the messy rim on bean cup! Somebody forgot to clean before serving ~ they are sooo fired!

Lily! So good to meet you. Don’t worry, Dad will pay attention to you after he feeds the fish.

Night Walker!
 
Good night peeps and good morning @Remi . After 16 years of reefing and 10 years off this is how it began.

Funny, I didn’t think of the resort area as having the church crowd. Interesting mix of both people.

Or did I fall for one of Kev’s jokes again?.
