Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I’m not going to say who, until tomorrow but someone very important on this thread has a birthday tomorrow!
I have it in my calender! Very important day tomorrow, it should be a national holiday!
 
I was on that exact path when I was in Miami a few months ago! I sat down somewhere, while I felt like I was dying because I had a double ear infection and a sinus infection. Then I waited like 2 hours to get on a bus to take us to the hotel to get our luggage. Then, our plane sat at the gate for 2 hours because some kid with ONE ear infection threw up everywhere. Lol. Fun times
 
We never know where the winds of life will take us brother. I still need to be taught how to ice fish!
I iced fished many times but my life changed when I was up in Michigan and I was able to use my uncle’s friend’s shanty. A karosene lamp, no wind and i was comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans.

It's the same but with ice! LOL
Kidding, sorta... the poles are smaller, the line is lighter since the fish move really slow.

Absolutely agree! Nothing like sitting in a shanty with a heater on an old sofa (no kidding) fishing. My friends shanty was probably 8'x10'. He would pull it out on the ice with his 4 wheeler (not the truck kind of 4 wheeler)

Hmmm, how old is your friend? My uncle’s and a few others were stolen off the lake!
 
Yessir, looks like a Mississippian to me! We like to pop rounds too!

Now I know where I’m going when the zombie apocalypse occurs! The AR is my oldest son’s, I’ll have to post my stash when I get home, not as impressive as yours.

In fairness, I cheated. Those were mostly purchased before my kids were born lol. But yeah Kevin, lol that's the zombie stuff. The hunting rifles and family heirlooms don't make as cool pictures as those
