Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) this was an Iced Coffee pod. It just makes it extra strong and it's kind of a gross one, hence the Half and Half. But it's coffee!

My all time personal favorites are the Green Mountain Coffee Chocolate Dipper Pistachio, Wild Mountain Blueberry, and one they no longer have. I can't remember if it was Rice Pudding or Bread Pudding but it was delightful.

Wild Mountain Blueberry is the BEST ever.

If your ever looking for some good coffee, Carrabassett coffee out of kingsfield Maine has some good stuff. I like Jamaican me crazy. You can order it one their websites in a bunch of different grinds

Agree on them and Genesis and I'll throw in the Eagles. I think they all started paying too much attention to the execs and producers and lost track of their grit.

The Eagles may be the best example. Their pure early stuff was great and then they went to $5 Walmart bin music.

I like a little bit of their very old stuff, but overall not a fan myself. Ive also never been a big Genesis fan, but I just started listening to the first few albums and late 60s cut with Peter Gabriel and it is fantastic.

That hurts John , always a big Genesis fan, saw them in concert. Agreed, totally different band when Peter Gabriel was singer just like Journy. I had their first album before Perry and it was rock.

Joel,

Is that a Bumblebee Snail I see? I've been considering picking up a couple because I'm beginning to get a few more vermetids. I always avoided Bumblebees, have they given any problems?

I love the look of them so I tried them
Got 4 and they lasted about 5 minutes then they were dinner...

I definitely have to check that out, Ive been meaning too. I was surprised to learn some of the original members were from some of the early groups like Zappa, grateful dead and a few others.

I designed and printed a new lid for my little 8 gallon. And I made about 20 gallons of water including some for a water change for the 8 gallon.
