Good morning my brother Joel

I'm joining the trend today @cdemoss01 getting ready to do a 5-gallon water change later. ( i know the green towel doesn’t look good lol, but, no light = no algae )

A gallon? Or less?
Try half first, I don't think it will make much difference in the 17.5 gallons you're mixing, but it's better to go little by little.

had to scroll back to see what happened. I can't keep up. it's only a car and glad he's ok. was it the full sized fam vehicle?
No. It was a Toyota Highlander Hybrid that his brother and I went halves on. He was driving it to and from work while he saved for his own car.

Of course!!!! I love your baseball posts. Honestly Im glad to get stumped now and then
 
As a father myself, I can feel this in the pit of my soul. Im so thankful that your son is ok Wes
I know. Once they start driving, you know you might be dealing with something like this eventually. Really glad it wasn't any worse.
 
I think you refer to the Gulf of Mexico coast as the best coast 🤣

And by the way - Good Morning

Sincerely Lasse
You mean the new Gulf of America 😄! I am so confused us old guys resist change...

when I had an accident a hundred years ago, I remember the insurance got jacked up so we registered one car with a different insurance company and listed me as a part time driver as a shared vehicle rather than 3 vehicles/3 drivers. On the good thing for my kids though, their schools elementary through high school are walkable of < 1 mile so a 20 minute walk at most.
