side note, already have plans for hanging T5 lighting for supplemental lighting during the winter, with a small heater for the few really cold nights
That'll be an awesome addition. Do you have any already in hand or do you have to find some?

Ahoy mateys.

Missed all the action today. I may or may not catch up.

I woke up feeling a little bit punk and, not long after, ended up throwing up. It was a strange occurrence for me as the last time I threw up was over 30 years ago. I spent the majority of the day in bed. However, I am happy to report that I am feeling better now.

Let the good times roll!

I'm pretty sure that @kevgib67 did more than a couple of loops at the roller skating arena to this song. I am pretty sure about this because I know I rolled to this one.


hope your feeling better and that a alien has not got you prego..

Thanks Shelley. Ive had it aboit 3 months. It's almost doubled in size in that time. Totally crazy growth on this scoly and im trying to figure out why
Glad it is doing so well. I want a baby scoly. Preferably a master. Only have room for one.
Good morning Amanda. Your lunch looked delicious. I'm not a fan of Tilapia either but then again I'm only so-so on Salmon. Now I nice chunk of Walleye or Yellow Perch, I'm there.
Walleye and orange roughy. yum
Done, sorry, I think 🤔 I will win. Haven't fished in a bit. But can with this new reel. 😂
Epidural steroid shot done and for the record it is more painful than the root nerve block...
I hope it works and works for a long time.
How long did you leave it unplugged? I don't have a tunz but sometimes I have to leave mine unplugged for longer than just unplugging and plugging it right back up especially if the reservoir gets low. Sorry I have been quite a watching a new series we started that I actual am paying attention to and like called Unforgettable on Netflix.
I watched that. It was great

Hello Peeps.
Rain, cold, sigh 😓
I want rain. Buckets of it
I want rain... one of my coworkers has spring water for her house and the spring dried up. She's lived there for a lot of years and this has never happened.
This is what's happening on our mountain. Reports saying water is 7 inches below pipe

@Üter you killed it with the music today brother! I apologize to the morning crew, but I like to play something for everyone and my music tastes span most genres.

Everyone gets a turn.

#Smorgasbordafterdark for Paul. Wish me luck folks!


Then we need a dislike so you can tell if we dislike it.
You knew it was coming.



Man I hope you feel better buddy.

This is a classic!

I liked him in Labyrinth.

Been running biopellets for 2 weeks now.
Added only another quarter cup.
Haven't cleaned the glass in 2 weeks now...
What kind of pellets? That is awesome.
Before my back issues started again I could walk a mile in 15 minutes. Took me longer today but at least I made the mile. I couldn't even do 1/4 of a lap around the building for the past several months. Its a beautiful day here with a nice breeze blowing.
This is great. 😊
