Morning Bob !
Good morning cb. Just got out of bed. My wife is trying to pay me off. She went thrifting but brought me a breakfast sandwich and a coffee from dunkin. I may be bankrupt before noon.
 
Nm today buddy, just work. You've got some exciting things going on in your tank these days. I can't wait to see how it turns out
I hope you get off early. I'm excited too and thanks for the advice on the lights. If I could get my tank dialed in to where it looks like anyone in this thread tanks' I will be a happy camper. It feels good to start to understand the chemistry behind a successful tank.

Good morning Smorgasbord! Great job holding it down on #Smorgasbordafterdark last night. Everyone be yourselves, because life is short. There's so much personality on this thread, I love it.

Be ourselves? First off, don't go telling me what to do. Secondly, if you had to live with what goes on inside my head, you'd be someone else too! 😉

howdy people, whats everyone got going on today?
Quite a number of things to get accomplished around the house this weekend. I may be sparse which will delight some!

Ohhhhh... espresso machines. Right up my alley. Which are you researching?

Just woke up? How in the Sam Hill are you going to get that walk-in closet done today? And FWIW - might I suggest an area for a BIG tank in the walk-in fish room, er, um, closet.

It's definitely not getting done today. Might get it started but done is out of the question for sure. I have a door to fix and Christmas lights to take down and a dog that has to go get his rabies shot and his nails trimmed. I might get to Lowes or home depot and buy supplies though.
 
Are you looking for an espresso only machine or multi-function?
yes, been down that WABBIT hole...looks like maybe a grinder and for sure the girl wants the steamer/ foam part...so started out just a simple one but now who knows lol
