Not a joke. Delicious actually! The bacon was actually the weirdest part, believe it or not.

I’m contemplating tearing down the tank so I can focus more on my white worm culture.

I think my tank buddies would like these. Are they had to keep alive and does anyone know if it's OK to feed them to freshwater fish as well?

I think he needs to upgrade his size tank for more mouths to feed!
 
Any reason why I couldn't use this to scrape algea off my glass? I love the one that Luis recommended to me that I have but it's only about 2 inches wide and it takes me forever to do my 125 with it.

The Mrs got home from work and brought a 9 pound pork roast she wants me to smoke, I hope I don’t get cancer from all of this Smoking. Now to find a dry rub and preferred wood type.

it's OK to post pics. we are past the 24 hour no bacon policy! I'd like 2 lbs of that though. Stuff it with Rhody's!

I probably won’t make it until the end of next week. Tomorrow is lake day and we are doing steaks. I’m thinking of cutting into two 4.5 peices so there would be more bark per pound. What do you say Tim?

I have this long scraper that boasts you can use your own credit card for the scraping. I only use it to push sand back in some areas. the angle it creates for a long stick like that makes it hard as well as any rock work near it. I was always hitting something. I only use the flipper with the metal scraper. though I should have bought the next size up because vigorous scraping detaches the magnetic attachment. I bought the one for appropriate size to glass but would have liked it more magnetic. and the floating one to retrieve at surface. the soft side really does nothing, just the scraper.

Yes Amanda, sweat is salty and it stings if it gets in your eyes. 😉

I may look for a tri tip roast tomorrow for next week after hospital appt. going back in for another spinal tap. pain killers just don't cut it lately. I wear 10.5 shoes and it feels like they are size 5. one day it will eventually stop right?
