my sat was hectic...football season and driving home late at night last night was bad...too many people who should have had a DD or used a ride share co....I was more concerned about getting killed at a light or while driving then getting shot...And on the REZ or the roads that run through these small towns in S AZ is worse..I had to stop on way home and help with some idiot took out a light pole that fell and closed off the two lane road on the rez for hours....
 
Yep been singing all morning can't get it out of my head :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Dang, you beat me Joel! I was in the shower when the song popped into my head and the first thing I did was post it when I sat down. I’m loosing it, everyone is beating me to a post today.

Nice to get a win every once in a while!
 
Living in Miami has its good things, but for English and that kind of music it is difficult. I know many groups and I listen to that kind of music a lot thanks to my father-in-law who is a fan and my wife likes it a lot too, despite all of them being Cuban but they have been in this beautiful country for more than 20 years. And my father-in-law listened to that music from Cuba even though it was illegal to listen to it.
 
Did you guys know there's an actual Peanut on here???? Amanda isn't the only Peanut. Kev should invite Peanut to the Smorgasbord...
 
So i havent been in touch much lately. You guys remember the devil of a yellow damsel i had. I have been avoiding buying corals bc i was pretty sure he was attacking my new coral frags. Well i finally decided to try it again and made a purchase. I added them to the tank and left the room for 2 minutes. When i got back, sure enough this damsel had toppled my new rainbow pectinia frag and was beating it against the glass.

Now I've tried everything to get this fish out of my tank. He evaded every trap and trick. So I decided to rip the whole tank down. The rock work and all of my corals had to come out. I can never fully enjoy a tank with this fish in it. All of my torches and hammers are on the sandbed bc if I raised them up to the rock work where I wanted them, the fish would attack them. I finally caught him and tried to put my tank back together. Right now everything is looking good. There's so much work that goes into this that it's hard to see it destroyed like that. Anyway I have it back up and I don't have any really good pictures but here are a few. I hope I put it all back together ok and you guys like it.

We could say "good afternoon" to the new peanut. We don't want to replace any peanuts, we just want more!
