My body is sore and stiff from I think a combo of the cold weather, being more fluffy than I should be and crawling on my belly under two fences, and then dragging his deer to the fence and down to the field through the woods where he could get to it with the truck. I could have let him drag it through the woods after I got it past the fence but I didn't want to wait on him to get there. Lol

Happy Tuesday and, more importantly, happy Veterans Day! To all of you who have served in our military, thank you for your service. You people would have allowed our country to be the way it is today, and continue to fight for freedom here. Being in the military is both hard on the individual person and on the families of those who are in the military. I never have been in the military, but I know a couple of people who did serve for our country. Again, thank you to everyone here who has/is serving in our military, and thank you for sacrifices you have made for this country.

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 9.3%

    Votes: 2 3.7%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 9 16.7%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 1.9%
