Must be your unbirthday. A beautiful reel, FREE. And corals. And I am digging irises for you. Go buy a lottery ticket!

I got a pair on Friday, very small and reclusive. Can’t wait for them to be out and about!
I loved my biota pair. You're going to love your tiny ones. Biota I assume?
 
I went cold turkey and cut out caffeine. Hurt for awhile but worth it.
I've done that 3 or 4 times over my lifetime. My wife doesn't like it so she makes me drink coffee. She's my enabler. And for the record, she doesn't drink coffee and only drinks caffeinated drinks every couple of days - sometimes not even once a week...

I don't drink coffee either. More like your wife. And tea, love my decaf tea. I get enough migraines. Since I was in grade school. They really mess up my cognitive abilities.
 
Level 12! I am not there yet. I will have to ask our DM if he's played that one.

Such a tease. Who are they from?

I didn't know there was a rule. Sure I have broken it. Sounds good
Water Cleric is a homebrew. Several different flavors.

I love coffee, the darker the better, with Death Wish being my choice now. And I admittedly have a weakness for the fruitier energy drinks. Kind of necessary working overnights I think for me at least.
 
Go for it buddy, I've got to check out and catch up on my nap time. Don't forget Vivaldi or Handel, two of the best early rockers.

If you run out of dittys you can always switch to groups with double entendre names.

--edit-- wouldn't hurt to throw in a Grant Green or two for my morning coffee, or a Stan Getz, 'even?' David Brubeck (Take Five hint-hint).
I like the double entendre idea! Good morning Tom.



Or how about a SONG with double entendre?

 
I was outside and UPS pulls up and gives me a box. I see the address and name that I didnt recognize, and when I opened it my jaw hit the ground. FINALLY I remembered and searched it up, and sure enough there's my name on the winners list. Appreciate the tip brother.

Now I need to win a new rod 😄 🤣
Your on a roll. You still might. That had to be so kewl.
Yeah that's what's so bad about this. We've had insane rainfall all month before this. All the rivers are past their flood stage.
We are just the opposite. Everything is so low. We need rain badly. And some idiots are still burning branches on our mountain!

I ended up hating nights. And I am a night owl. But worked 12 hour shifts for around 7 years. Never again.
 
Walked around my yard this morning to see what's new. Always something to see this time of year. The dark clematis was dug up and cut apart 3 years ago. Just recovering. There was an invasive plant growing through it. It was here before we moved in. Now it can be here another 40 years.

I don't usually listen to a lot of music but this one was fun. I really enjoy the Transiberian Orchestra and this had a lot of those same undertones. I went down the rabbit hole and listed for about an hour.

Good stuff Steve!
 
Some outstanding music posted tonight, Steve.

Only made it as far as listening to Dave Brubeck and skipped ahead to some Getz and Parker.

Signing off.
Yeah that was way too much. I got tired of reacting to them, let alone trying to listen to it all. What a snooze fest!
