What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

I was going to suggest pneumonia but it's really the wrong time now. so it might be walking. as an fyi....if you start coughing or hubby does, go right down immediately because it's the contagious one. we got hit with that but there was snow on the ground. just never had an issue with arms and legs.
That's what was weird he's not been coughing or anything yesterday he was rough housing with my stepson.
 
Or you could just pop over to AZ:

Angie's Lobster

Not as good as the ones I remember from the shacks on Route 1 though, but pretty good.
I once went to Vegas and indulged in the all you could eat seafood buffet. FYI....DO NOT eat seafood from a desert location.
 
Update on my son he has pneumonia they sent him home with some strong antibiotics and told him to rest.
Sorry he has pneumonia but glad at the same time that it wasn’t anything worse.

maybe he accidentally inhaled some moisture during that into his lungs. even his own saliva. bacteria in the right environment grows fast. but at least its treatable and won't be long till he bounces back.
 
This conversation is killing me! I really want a lobster roll now. Should I say need?
park your car on the side of the road and hibachi a lobster. it will taste so much better. and you'll get the same stares like at Red's!

Okay, that was weird. I went to 'like' this post and it took me to another page to confirm I wanted to like it.
 
High school or college Luis? Man how time flies, he was just a little boy when you first joined the #Smorgasborg .
Luis...Keep this guy away from him. He is going to push Birds Nests on him. You don't want to go through Birds Nest withdrawals!
 
speaking of birds, the bird is still here with eggs. had an issue but she's back on track. I removed the flower basket that night because I figured covering it would make it a sail. I just bright it inside the garage. back out in the morning. She laid eggs that day. then tossed one on my porch. washed that off and she laid 2 more so we have 3 eggs in the nest again. So we will be expanding our family soon.

Closest thing to fresh lobster in Michigan besides buying one at a store are crayfish! You literally have to have a metric ton of those to make a decent meal.

Were you running around with a 3" grip on a 6" turd?

Oh wow! Culver's for breakfast and this place for lunch AND dinner. My God that looks like a Popeyes with lobster. Sounds good to me, I've always wanted to go to the Diamondbacks stadium.

wanted to get my moneys worth. alaskan king crab legs until I felt so sick. stupid things when we are young and feel like we can conquer the world!
 
I appreciate that John. Memorial Day just brings up a lot of lost friends/brothers is all. It's all good, today is a new day my friend!
Yessir, I could only imagine. Join us today in some laughter and food talk!
