Poor little guy I hope he feels better! That soup looks really good!
 
And now :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I have a new found hatred for plumbing. This thing better be silent once I get it dialed in....

Looks really good Mike!
 
Not the WiFi power strip but the rest is working well.
I wish the Hydros auto feeder could be used as a standalone.. it's just a wifi feeder and it basically a ehiem I think.. lemme use it on its own so I don't buy an eheim now that won't pair up later lol

I'm remembering when Jason started daycare a couple of years ago, I hope he feels better soon.

It was deli shoes and he seems to be getting better, but we've said that 3 times in the last 2 weeks then he catches something else :face-with-rolling-eyes:

Yea he's been in daycare like 3 weeks and has basically been sick ever since lol

Never had deli shoes... ;) :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Thanks Joel! My other setup is glued things that I shouldn't have, one bulkhead had a slow leak, and it was so noisy. As I sit here and message you guys I occasionally stop and have a "why's it so quiet" moment :grinning-face-with-sweat: things silent now!

What you have left is to get used to it for now brother, because it takes time for the immune system to adapt, but that is part of the process. The most important thing is to always monitor his fever.

Luckily he's gotten dehydrated, we were worried when he was puking so much because he went awhile without a wet diaper but we got fluids in him and eventually he started up again. Been a rough few days for the little guy
