Last night's eye of the storm. Did you all miss the Northern Lights? If so the show continues world wide until Sunday night between 10:00pm and 2:00am.
Cloudy here in Ohio last night :crying-face:
 
good morning kev, that was the first thing I did when I woke up, the blenny is living life from what I see, no attack marks, on the other hand the goby has the upper fins a little damaged but he is alive and swimming, right now I'm working, I'll do another update when I get home, happy Saturday everyone
Hopefully your wrasse gets bored. When I added my tailspot blenny he wanted to lay in the gsp. That was my yellow tail damsel’s territory and it would chase the blenny around the tank. That lasted about 24 hours. Now with the damsel within inches, the blenny can lay in the gsp all it wants. Fingers crossed Luis. Oh, by the way, like yours, my sixline never looked twice at the blenny.

My kids and my wife’s big Italian extended family! But it would be nice, I believe every night is taco night at Tim’s house.
 
Tell your son to have fun! I LOVE flea markets, but I banned myself from ever going to one again. I ALWAYS buy stuff I don't need. Last time I came back with a megalodon tooth... :rolleyes:
I love them as well! And thrift stores as well!

Except Tucson and Flagstaff are a 2 hour drive from my house... You'd have to leave right after lunch to make it for dinner.

I’ll have to see if they have anything closer to you and I appreciate the invite!

When you get to Flagstaff, keep going West and I'll make you a huge pot of spaghetti and meatballs, Nana's recipe. Good to rotate out the tacos every niw and then!
