What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thank you all! The only reason I won was because of you guys. I don't think I got one vote from someone not on the Smorg. Lol. Thank you all very, very much!!

Na, that was a beautiful picture!
 
@WalkerLovesTheOcean Just imagine that the photo that came in late was not there, yours got more votes, you won because there was justice. Thanks to everyone who was involved in making sure the right thing was done.
 
I’ve noticed that too. Didn’t want to call it out though as I think I’m a contributing factor- to much health stuff vs reefing. I have made an effort not to be that person but you all are so kind in checking in on me I sometimes get too detailed.

Kev, I’m being serious here so no dad jokes ok.

Joel created a whole space for a diverse group of people to come together and have fun but also be reef-centric I believe.

So I’m making some big assumptions here, but the reality is we have been losing some regulars to other threads. And to clarify that- we should be visiting other threads and learning differently, laughing differently, etc.
i am still here, just my work taking alot of time lately...

One word (or rather coffee locality) for you sir:

Peaberry

Specifically, Kona Peaberry.
 
By the way... I want to say sorry not sorry for starting the riot for POTM. I didn't mean to get everyone worked up but I'm glad it worked out for you Walker. Congrats and well deserved sir!

We're putting together a team. A group of heroes that can step in when the forum mods can't. We're calling it The Equitablenessers. Subject to change.

So we have 2 pork butts here.
I usually use bone in,much tastier but all they had was boneless so we gotta go with it.
I'm going to add 2 quarts of Dr Pepper and put it in the oven on 200 for 12 hours.
I rubbed it in Montreal steak seasoning.
We'll look at it in the morning. ;)
Don't know if I can still keep up with Luis :thinking-face::smiling-face::thinking-face:but I'm going to try....:upside-down-face:

Good night everyone! Taking off for London right now, so it's night night for me!
Have a great trip! I heard London has a pub, if you can find it stop in for a pint.
