Super super long day today...
Didn't get much rest on these days off...
Sorry bud, I feel for ya. My day wasnt pleasant, or short but I didnt get home nearly as late as you appear to have.
 
Okay picked up the car from coeur d'alene.
Everything but the $1,000,000 battery (man those have gotten expensive) was covered by recall by Honda thank goodness
Still spent 3 hours driving again...
 
Welp my oldest son just texted me, HR just informed him they are sending him back to France! 😠
Sorry Kev 😞
I know you loved and wanted him home...
 
How do yall feel about powerstrips in the cabinet? I did it on my 120, but thats really because I didnt have much of a choice. But wondering if I should try and keep them out of the biocube stand?
I've always had mine in the cabinet away from the dogs and kids.
I have them under the tank now.
I have a double metal petco stand, open but the kids are grown up now.
I just loop everything and wire tie everything up and off the ground.
 
Goodnight kev. Lemme share a picture of what a biocube looks like

Sorry about the fish Mike.
Cube looks good.
I always wanted one.
You should be able to get 8 or 9 tangs in there if you add them all at once 😉
 
I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of what's going on with all of you and that makes me sad I'm not going to lie. I want you to know that I try to read as much as I can and keep up to date but sometimes it's hard, but I'm here if you need to talk to someone or at least someone who will listen. Miss and love you all

We all know you've been crazy busy #1 it is all good.
We miss and love you too.
 
I dont even have a heater on it and its at 80f just from the light 😳 glad falls coming. Go to about 77 inside the house today. (This time of year, ac is out and we have window fans as it gets cold at night) next summer will probably facilitate me finally putting in a heat pump lol
I feel ya. I have 4 window/portable air conditioners in my house. Can't afford central air until a couple debts are paid off.
