Hello family!
I just got home from having surgery today. I had a small mass in the right side of my groin. They also removed three lymph nodes to send to pathology.
I didn't want to worry any of you, so I decided to tell you afterwards. Its not concerning for cancer, so please don't worry. They are unclear if the mass is from toxic exposure in the military. Hopefully the pathology report will give us a hint.

Much love to all my Smorg family and I apologize for not telling you all sooner.
Hang in there. get some rest.
 
I appreciate that Kevin and John. I promise to keep you guys more in the loop. After all, I consider you all family!
No worries man, just take care and keep us posted Rock!
 
Dear Lord. All of my dinner options are now off the table...
unfortunately I did not have any corn starch to thicken the gravy and was forced to try bread flour. it tasted great but not desirable appearance.
 
A day or two. I'll call you tomorrow.
Paul sent me a DM of the some of the music...have to say I love it! My kind of music brother.
Feel better man!

Praying it’s nothing concerning for you!
 
How much more...
.002-.003 more. if your tank is running 1.025, you should mix that.
how much actual salt depends on how many gallons but not sure of the math. I would add a little at a time to bring it up. most mixes are about 1/2 a cup of salt to 1 gallon of RO.

So a little less then half a cup gradually?
