One 15 passenger van and a 14' cargo trailer. Staying in an AirBnB tonight. The vise grip jury rig held. I'll replace the heater core after the trip.

Wait, I was public school educated and I turned out purty good. I can do my ciphers and everthing.
I was in public school until 7th grade. Full disclosure: hated it. Homeschooling 8th through 12th. Few community college classes for practical reasons but was too busy working for my dad to get a degree. Then went back to college at 40 to become a registered nurse.

Partly because of how much I hated public school, my kids are in a small private school. I am very aware of their friendships and where they go. Don't worry, they still love me. Ask @Elphirwjz 😄

Same here. Missed it. Guess that's good.
Yeah brother. It seems we avoided some negativity, but looks like the Smorgasbord took care of it while we were away. #Smorgasbordstrong

Let's Pray for and wish the best for this person though. Who knows what they're going through.
 
My wife’s Bromeliads bloomed this week. Of course you look at this and say, "That's beautiful "! But the only time these plants bloom is when a Hurricane is coming. Yall may think im crazy, but the last time this plant bloomed was right before Hurricane Zeta ( a vicious category 3 Hurricane). They will grow tall like this and turn completely away from the sun, and towards the Gulf.

Sorry my fellow Southerners. Nature knows

I'd like to think so Jimmy.
All I run is jebaos.
Returns, wavemakers.
Never had an issue.
All my backup pumps are the eheims I replaced because they were just so loud.
Once you hear the silence, you never go back.
I have been running the SOW 4 powerheads for a long time, used Jebao pumps on my freshwater tanks also
 
Beautiful Luis! Wait, you want him to turn out like me? For the love of god take his education seriously and put him into a private school where he will actually get an education!
I will say my private school education was top notch, the classes where smaller and everyone's behavior in school was under control
