Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
ah skinny dipping? hahaha....been to ohio alot...nice place but not for me...
It’s a state Lake, family friendly :angry-face:!
 
been to many towns there. Can't remember, I think it was Columbus, it was alot of farm land and grass lol...the one that shocked me, driving around in it, maybe 1/2 was abandoned buildings. I remember a train track ran through it and there was a big abandoned factory in it.
Definitely not Columbus, booming metropolis. Every year when I go down for a football game it has grown some more. You may have been southwest near West Virginia, Applachia. Or perhaps the old steel towns in the northeast.

Geez Luis, you have a high fever! If that keeps rising I advise you to go to urgent care.
I was going to take 2 Tylenol but I'd rather have a beer, that would cure everything ;)

I once read a recent article in the American Medical Journal that a study showed large consumption daily of beer and tacos have cured leprosy, ebola, cancer and just about every disease known to man as well as it turned the clock back by 10 years when it comes to aging.
 
Made it to the stadium. Took an hour to get in and it's been raining so haven't had time to look at my phone. Cardinals are up 5-2!!
 
@tbrown How is your wife feeling?
Better after she got her prescription. We have an appointment with the orthopedic on Tuesday morning so not a super long wait. Friday night was rough, last night was better. Right now she's saying she may be having some swelling again so it's hurting her some.
 
@1ocean one update that I'm not sure if you heard - Jennifer passed away a few weeks back from her cancer.

Did they brace her foot? Will she have one of those walking rolling supports for kneeling on the affected leg?

They braced it at Urgent Care with one of those temporary braces that they form to the foot/leg and it hardens. She's got crutches but I've just been pushing her in a wheelchair for the time being so she doesn't stumble or anything.

Tuesday hopefully we'll get more information. The bone didn't appear to have shifted much so hopefully no surgery or anything. Pins are a possibility I suppose since it's a weight bearing bone. I'm guessing they'll give her a knee scooter since she can't walk on it.

Worst part is it's her right foot so no driving for a while.

So it was the tibia Tim?
 
Cardinals won 14-7! Interesting game. We saw Jordan Walker's first homerun of the season (if that means anything to you all).
 
That’s what I saw, fibula is non weight bearing. The better of the two to fracture but still not fun. I hope she feels better soon.
