Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Late flight, even for the “other side”. Safe lanfdings.
Yeah. We were a little surprised how many flights (for Eugene) were coming in so late.
 
I think I'll jump ahead and say good morning everyone!

Looks like I've got a few hours of Thelonious to listen to before I get here. Plus got some peopling to do.

Have a great day everyone!
Good morning Tom, you as well!
 
Morning y'all!
Well, it's Wacky Wednesday so just hang in there today...
Prayers to you all...
Peace ✌️
Good morning Joel, same to you!✌️
 
Well....
Wife and I went out on the boat yesterday.
We put a ton of dough into it this year, hoping we'd get out on it every week.
We decided on the way home we're going to sell it.
Just too much for both of us at our age to do unfortunately 😔..
I hope this doesn't happen with our cabin. Wait to retire to enjoy things. And then find you still don't have the time.
Just picked up my boat from the shop. Would not go into forward gear for about two years. Now the boat instruments are all off and no power to the blower, bilge pump, ect. So back to me working on it so we can sell it! It is a shame that I can't find anyone to get it fixed anymore. Local shops will only work on newer boats.
That is so lazy of them

Ours was in for over 2 months.
Every time we called, nothing.
Quoted $1100.
Finally picked it up 2 weeks ago and was given a bill for $2200.
I paid them $1100 and towed it home.
Complete disaster.
It needed to be fixed. Nothing you can do with a broken old 94 Reinell so I'm glad we fixed it. I wouldn't sell it broken, too much on my conscience for that.
I'm right there with you Lowell.
They only want to work on the new stuff.
I'm just hoping Betsy goes to a good home.
Still some life left in her...
I have heard this type of thing too often
 
Funny how you can't wait for the kids to grow up and leave so you can live your own life...
Then you realize they are your life...
Wish they came with an instruction manual 😕

I get that. The day my oldest left for basic training I cried like a baby.
