saw those dudes at the sony big a** show back in 2005 with lostprophets and some others. was pretty good, concerts have never been my thing though. better sound at home an you dont get mosh’d.

how about some ballad metal?


Ooooo, I love me some falconer. Haven't listened to them in a hot minute.
Hammer of Dawn by Hammerfall is my favorite album by them, but I love their music in general too
 
Very nice post and I am in agreement. Nothing is permanent.

However, the people at the Sanford Company (which is owned by Rubbermaid) might want to argue this point.

White Out would like to have a word with that brand
 
I'm having steak and a baked potato there are no good buffets here. Lol
Not even a golden corral or a Ryans (rest in peace to ryans)
 
White Out would like to have a word with that brand
Ever since they changed the original formula of White Out, I stopped buying it. I mean, what's the use of using it if you can't get high from the fumes, right!

Also - side not about White Out (Liquid Paper)? Do you know who invented it? If not, look it up. You will notice her name is Bette Nesmith Graham. If you use Wikipedia, when you get to the name "Michael Nesmith" then click on it.

Nope Golden Corral is over an hour away.
I sad faced the "buffet" posts but, in reality, I cannot, do not and never have been able to do them. I simply cannot get past the thought of the general public coughing on, sneezing on and doing what ever else they do to the food. Those plexi protectors don't doo squat. Especially when there is some sick kid who sneezes a big, green hunk of... Well, you get my point.
 
While waiting on some Goni's from SBB I have been checking out my new gadget. Going to use it for mixing AFR, BRS magnesium, and mixing small batches of saltwater for the phyto.. The beaker kit is cool, I can sterilize the phyto water in them. The mixer can easily do a half gallon once the 2000 ml beaker gets here.

can you act out the "what ever else" part
 
Topped off tank last night. Still NO algea, Remora doesn't run properly due to the pump but its all good. Im not sure what to do with this in sump skimmer I have.. I missed the sale and don't even have a sump to put it into. Do you guys think I should still switch?
 
Man! I sang the OG version of this song, karaoke on my first date with my wife! Imagine my big bearded self up there shredding this lol. Oh well, we've been married almost 10 years now, so something went roght.
Very cool. I'll 100% take the blame for this. #Smorgasbordafterdark in full effect

I can picture that, would have been epic! Thats one of those filter dates too, you know she is a keeper if she wanted more after that 😆

I love me some Hammerfall. Falconer is new to me. Good stuff Red Beard
Oh yeah, rock on brother!
