Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
they can trick or treat as a Deadliest Catch deck hand
they did that one year. storm went through and knocked out power and power lines were laying down everywhere. a few towns announced no treating due to safety concerns and do it the following day. that just created 2 days of treating. that was 2 years in a row.
 
Good morning everyone and happy Monday!

Should be a good but busy day for me. Get to go back to rock climbing today after being gone for a little over a week due to newborn stuff, haha. Not to mention we are going back to our apartment to do a little bit of packing to try and finalize all we need to move out of there.

Our actions have consequences. They can either be good consequences or they can be bad ones. The people we talk to, we can either say the right thing or the wrong thing to do to them. Not to mention the actions we take can improve our lives and those around us, or make it worse. Today, let's spread positivity, be a light in the dark, and be kind and courteous to those around you.

Good morning Bailey!
 
I feel like we are sending our little boy off to his first day of school. I have tears of joy and sadness falling into my cup of coffee. 🥹
Just packed my Buck Rogers lunchbox!
 
It was a slightly stressful drive in this morning its still dark and it's raining so hard even with the wipers on the highest setting I could barely see then add in the fog and of course there's always the idiots that try to drive way too fast for the weather conditions. But I'm at the office now and I'm safe getting ready to make some coffee.

It's crazy to me when everyone has their hazards on due to well.. hazardous weather conditions, and people drive like it's a Formula 1. Glad you are safe!

when I lived in CA, people would actually drive faster in the rain. it was so weird.

I think the time changes next Sunday. Today the morning was really strange, at 7am it was still dark
 
I buy my lunch so I just bring coffee these days!

Reminds me of the alladin brand lunchbox/thermos combos from the 70's and 80's!
 
they had Aladdin back then? I have the bionic man, peanuts and Star Wars setups too.
Oh yeah! Apparently, the company has been around since 1908, which is crazy to me. I own a Transformers, Super Mario, and a Pound Puppies lunch box made by those guys. Have a Simpsons one too, but it's not Aladdin branded, looks like one though.
 
I also have this one (not my photo). Apparently, this is Aladdin too, just not the classic plastic look I associate with them
