Good morning everyone! Sorry about the inactivity this weekend. Was trying to finish up everything for this week, and we hosted our very first Christmas party last night! Was a successful party minus little dude fussing half way through the thing, but all is good now!

I hope everyone has amazing week this weekend. Don’t let your joy be stolen from you since this is the week to be jolly and happy!


Good morning Bailey! I hope your week is blessed as well.

Good morning, all!

Looks like I missed quite a bit this weekend as I was very spotty on here. It will all have to remain a mystery as I am not going to read all the pages I missed. Well, maybe not so much a mystery as I am sure there was coffee, beer, food, movies, music, tomfoolery and plenty of chicanery too. Oh, and maybe even some reefing stuff.

Wishing you all a magical Monday!


Good morning Chris

All quiet here, what's going on

I wish I could come up with a good excuse. Making a 5-star breakfast, traveling to Paris, or winning the lottery. However, I am lying in bed making sure there aren't trouble makers on Reef2Reef

Actually, everyone heard you were showing up this morning. I tried to tell them, "Hey, he's ok. Really, he is." But I got a whole bunch of DM's telling me I should not be fooled. For now, though, I think you're alright. Especially if you keep tagging me in giveaways. Oh, and a little Christmas card with a big check in it would go a long way too!
🤣

Been a southerner longer than a northerner, if not I’d be giving you crap about Ohio state . We like to go with teams where we’re at not where we come from . I’d be a Michigander if that was the case ! 🫣 🤭🤣
Glad to have you down here CB. Yep you're official like a referees whistle.

Define a big check? My definition of a big check and yours might be different
