Wait, who is this @Katrina71 lady? Not saying I forgot she existed but...


Just kidding! We've missed you @Katrina71 (unless you're a ninja and I didn't see you...)
No. Had a lot going on last week. Busy today too. Fingers crossed on the new job. I'll be off every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Always behind you 100 percent :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Nice schedule!
I know you'll get it.

Thank you. I would like a job that I don't have to work 15+ days in a row. It actually pays better than being a manager at an alarm company too!
 
Nope! Lots of trees and desert. I think I came home with more golf balls than I left with though... Found a lot of spares looking for my lost ones. :face-with-tears-of-joy: We shot a 71 on a par 72 course so not bad.
But did you have fun?
 
Hey Im working again doing what I love, there was a time I didn’t think I would again, grateful. The owner is looking to continue to expand and he has looked where I practiced for 23 years so I’m always hopeful.
I get it. Just a lot on the body. I wonder if you know any chiropractors? Hehe.
 
Good night all,

@Katrina71, all fishes are a lot better with no aggression at all except clowns when lights go down. Got 1 RTN and 1 STN, both were nearby. Maybe I was a bit out of control for flows as I have 3 waves makers and 1 gyre. My acros also change colors, 1 light pink now is also half light green and also one got more profound color going from orange to pink. I try to reduce phosphate as only 1 time I got a reading on the Hanna (everytime it is above the limit > 0.61). Hope you are doing good.

@luis angel , it is 8:50am.
