Also, breakfast with a Japanese influence- pics will come!

doordashed some yummy: started w/roasted shishito pepper, then chicken karaage, and then Ramen with pork belly. And an Ume soda to drink.

This song always hits the feels! I was 16.



If I was in San Francisco I would eat nothing but Rice a Roni, after all it is Officially the San Francisco treat. Probably way better than what is served in the Midwest.
 
At least I’m not alone.
Morning!
I've done the same thing.
More than once ;)
Kept wondering why O why there's no water coming out....

Ha. Didn’t get that far thankfully. It’s a right pain to put in the sump (mostly cause I can’t fold like that XD) so I’m glad found the impeller as I was moving it from the sink to the table. My complete reaction was “…..oh. Well dang.” lol
 
Do you guys and gals think I could put 2 more fish in the tank or is 5 enough for my tank? i was thinking 2 purple firefish

What is the second fish you are thinking of? Definitely look into a Goliath grouper, stunning!

I did pick up a lawn mower blenny and his name I think we'll be Lenny I will post pics shortly. Is it the lawnmower blenny that will share a home with the pistol shrimp?
I almost picked up a Lawnmower Blenny yesterday. I mean literally almost picked one up...

Not really a Lawnmower Blenny but it's definitely a Combtooths Blenny of some variety.

Ya, I’ve seen videos where a fisherman is reeling in a 3-4’ shark and a Goliath comes up and takes it. Also I forgot Luis has a tailspot, the tailspot would probably eat the Goliath.
 
Selfie stick...
Omg Amanda! I’m laughing so hard right now - can you just see his goofy smile as he poses dancing while holding the stick?!?

And you know he’s thinking of the perfect dad joke to tell with it!
