Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Doing good just enjoying an afternoon cup of coffee.
I think I'm a little jealous. Something yesterday did not agree with me, or maybe a bit of a relapse of the fever, anyway my stomach was on strike most of yesterday and this morning I could only handle a half cup of coffee so my left brain hemisphere is still sleeping.

I hope your stomach feels better! Mine was a bit off Saturday but thankfully it went away quickly.
 
Burger Week in Chattanooga this week! Over 40+ restaurants do a special burger where they all compete for the prize of best burger of the year. This is the one I had today! It's a smash burger with crab rangoon filling on it, wonton strips, and some green onions. Extremely good.

That sounds amazing! Wow. Green onions make EVERYTHING better!
 
Burgers are my favorite food. We don't have anything that fun, but do have a Little Shop of Burgers!
Welcome to the Smorgasbord! I love burgers as well. But then again I love most food.
 
Hi Joel! Did your son choose a college yet? I hope your trip went smoothly!
Trip was short and tiring.
Flying, rental car, hotel, etc.
Tours of both schools were wonderful but very cold.
Our tour of Boise State saw rain,sleet,hail and snow all in 2 hours. Coldest day of my life.
During the tour of the University of Idaho my feet and hands turned purple it was so cold.
That's what wore us out the most.
Joe's already been accepted to the UofI and we knew that was his first choice but now after the trip we know for sure.
Just can't seem to leave the state...
Go Vandals!
 
I did notice no one takes cash anymore
Not only that, no one knows how to count or take the cash either.
Our whole trip was a QR code so thankfully I had my son with us lol or I'd still be in line waiting for the plane, rental car, hotel, parking...

That's crazy!
 
That's crazy!
Yep I brought some cash to pay for stuff but really only used it for food.
Luckily gas in Idaho is $4.09 can't believe I say Luckily to that.
One of the dad's in our Boise group was from Cali and he said diesel is over $10 a gallon???
Yikes.
