Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I guess I'm kinda stuck in the 60s-70s. Those are the types of songs I gravitate towards when I want something with some zip to it. When I surfed YT to find Chocolate Watch Band it threw me a bunch of garage band choices but most were more like covers or trying too hard to be different. That crisp hard edge is what appeals to me.
Gotta get this Taco Bell out of my head .
 
Tim, sorry if you already said this, I've been a bit busy lately, how's the new job going?
Slow. I had coffee with the City Manager this morning though. I'm sitting in my office trying to get my computer set up. I had no access yesterday but finally got it today. Picked up my laptop this morning and ordered my phone.
 
I sold my soul on R2R Marketplace so I could afford some Texas Trash palys I had been eyeing. Kinda regret it, I couldn’t keep the palys alive.
Not that your soul was alive either though...
 
Finally got to eat lunch, kinda of a few things thrown together. Forgot the tortillas for fajitas but still good.

I had a coffee before I left home, then another cup of coffee at the office, and then, on my way to IT to pick up my laptop, my director bought me a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop. I'm decently caffeinated right now.

Good news Kevin! I actually bought your soul off of that guy!! I wanted to give it back to you for Christmas. I would wash it and air dry it though. God only knows where it's been.

I completely understand that. I wasn't even alive in the 60s and 70s, and that's my absolute favorite music. If I grew up in that era, I probably wouldve never gotten into any other kind of music.

I like lots of music and part of the reason I focus on certain eras is that I got away from hearing music a few times over the years for various reasons. It is funny though what you hear in your youth sticks with you. I really like Jazz Sax, probably because my best friend in grade school played the Alto Sax. This nostalgia made me go look up the one song I learned to play on my friend's guitar. I decided I'm a much better listener than player. Haven't heard this in I don't know how long:
