Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Work doesn't open until 12 today so we took breakfast over to my father in law to eat with him. It was so hot in his house I had to step outside to cool off. Lol
Ahhh... the joys of getting older, our body temperature regulation goes haywire.
 
Good morning nerds! Well the light dusting we got yesterday is currently being added to, strange weather for New Mexico. I don’t have to report to work until noon, fingers crossed I get a text that the afternoon is canceled as well. If not the boss and office manager are providing tacos. I know what you’re thinking, tacos on meatball Monday? Weird I know. You can see the deer tracks going to and from the woods.

Good morning my friend! It looks like you got some snow too!!
 
Morning Bailey! You can do it brother. Layers are your friends!
I would bundle up today and go climb, but feeling a little under the weather today (think it's due to all the dry and cold air we have had). Probably a good thing because one of the gyms I got to is in a warehouse and it stays freezing in there. Not to mention how my rotator cuff feels and my wrist hurting on and off, probably need a rest day, haha.

If you are hurting, that's your body telling you to rest my friend.

Welcome to the mentality of us climbers, we don't stop even though we should.
 
Morning Peeps.
17" and more coming. just cleared my driveway, my neighbors driveway, the walk for the dog, the fireplug and now coffee. back out to do roof next.
Pace yourself my friend. Well, you know this. You are used to it.

You are a good dude! I don't care what most everyone has DMed me about you.

Do you have a long pole with a reverse shovel on it or do you actually get on the roof?

I get on the roof when it's 30" plus. but I'm just using the roof rake now. otherwise you get ice dams.

We used to get on the roof to clear the snow then jump off into the snow piles as a kid.
