Took care of Rock, and also will share super deal I closed today. First off, this may be long. My buddy at work ordered a gazebo from Sams club, they sent a 6 x 9 greenhouse to him instead. He called, had the correct item shipped. shipper would not load the incorrect item back up. He contacted Sam's club. they said keep or dispose of it. Verified with email from sam's. I just brought it back home this morning, set me back $500. Has ventilation fan, power block, and pass through water hook ups. Wife is super pleased.

Similar thing happened to me. But not as grand. Received 24 canna lilies! Ordered 24 short dahlias for the border.

I would take a green house any day over cannas!

have to work this weekend, but when we decide on concrete or gravel base, the following weekend, its
Gravel with stepping stones in case you decide to move it maybe?
Doing a cuc restock this weekend. Ordering from coral monsters.
List:
10 margaritas (haven't tried these yet)
2 turbos
8 trochus
15 blue leg hermits
What do we think? Should I try experimental inverts like slugs and whatnot? Cucumbers, giant Tun or something else I haven't heard of?

Also finalizing the fuge on my Tidal, getting a light and cheato.
Let me know how your order goes. I meed more CUC

Very poor quality pictures. It was dark and I was trying not to spook her. She is always looking for an opportunity to check out anything behind a door.

I hope you continue to feel better Chris! Monday I started out feeling nauseated all morning, couldn’t eat anything. Been under the weather all week. I think I caught it from Amanda through the interweb, probably the same for you.
Thanks Kev. I think it was some kind of 12 hour bug. I was feeling back at 100% health pretty quickly. Hope you're feeling better today.

hope your feeling better and that a alien has not got you prego..
Thanks, I am feeling better.

You got the second part all wrong. I'm the guy who gets them prego!

Missed 7 pages but caught up. It was an easy read as 5 of the 7 pages were everyone saying good morning, hello and goodnight to each other. I do believe there were actually a couple of posts about reefing and beating aiptasia. 🤣

Glad it is doing so well. I want a baby scoly. Preferably a master. Only have room for one.

Walleye and orange roughy. yum

Done, sorry, I think 🤔 I will win. Haven't fished in a bit. But can with this new reel. 😂

I hope it works and works for a long time.

I watched that. It was great
I'm enjoying the series.

I want rain. Buckets of it

This is what's happening on our mountain. Reports saying water is 7 inches below pipe
They are saying we have a chance of rain next Wednesday through next Saturday I really hope they are right and we get a bunch!

How are you this morning Kevin?
Thanks for asking Amanda! Unsure, I haven’t had a cup of coffee yet, I’ll get back to you on that! I hope you are on the mend!
