What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Good morning Rock. I didn't know that Rosie O'Donnell and Katharine Hepburn were in the band!!
They are getting old brother! But…. It was a great concert. He got the crowd involved and everything
 
Much better today! I think it was super spicy Siracha sauce I was using just jacked me up, haha
Did you have to sit on bag of frozen peas? Asking for a friend
 
Are you going to put yours on a heating pad as well? Just curious if the hatch yield would be the same if not kept warm. I placed the order for mine today. I thought I placed it yesterday but I must have gotten sidetracked and didn't finish checking out.

Probably, the yield is quicker at slightly higher temps. I'm going to set up without it as I don't have a heat mat on hand but I expect I will add it later.

Nah. It was more so a cramp feeling. Same pain I get from eating fatty meat

I love the saxophone riffs in his songs!

Sorry guys, just got back from the AZ Game and Fish Outdoor Expo. It cost me $5 for me and $5 for my son. All we got to do was shoot a .300 AAC, a .308, a 6.5MM PRC, a 12 gauge, and a couple of 5.56 and 9MM rifles (plus a couple of pistols - .45 and 9MM).

I honestly dont think it would matter Amanda. I would have still had an exponential amount too many in 15 or so hours if even only 1/4 of them had hatched!

With no new eggs added, I had that many more today when I got home.

I hope your talking about brine shrimp
 
Brine shrimp eggs are amazing, i have a small container of the eggs from when i was 10 and they still hatch.
Yeah. I keep finding my old "vial" of brine shrimp eggs. Around 15 years expired but they've hatched everytime I've tried.

A very basic cheese quesadilla dinner for me today!
 
your selection of reading materials is very nice
Thank you! One of them is river’s Bible story book, and most of them are ministry related books (not a pastor, but getting a basic license in the church)
 
Sorry I didn't get any pictures but this is what we had for lunch/supper it was delicious and was enough for two meals for us.
