then you understand...what I am talking about..my italian girl learned from my grandparents who came here thru Ellis island...
We know each other’s world! Good morning, looking forward to hearing about your coffee.
 
met a guy who wants me to shrink my algae reactor down so he can use it on his small tank...hmm a challenge I accepted. The one I made for the 300 works great. a few changes will be done and then start to market them..and still work the job for a while...part time on call...

And good morning everyone woke up not feeling well. My father in law had a cold last weekend when we were at deer camp and I'm thinking he may have shared it with me. All I want to do is go back to sleep. I hope you all have a great day.
Hope you feel better soon my friend :)
 
Good morning everyone. As I was driving over the Bay to work this morning, I realized that there is always sunshine somewhere in the mix. Sometimes it's harder to find than other times, but it's in there somewhere

that was bought. But thinking the tougher bread might fit well for cheesy dip. Will have to do early since I have another blood draw tomorrow morning and need to fast. I think though I can eat up to 12 hours before but to be safe I'll cut my intake at 6pm. Continue water since the last 2 took a long time for blood to flow.
Good choice on the firmer bread, it shouldn't get soggy as quick
