Good afternoon my friends. My mom passed away after a long battle with her health. I just wanted to let yall know why I may not be around as much. I appreciate all of my friends for the kindness and concern that's being shown. I promise it helps and means so much.

Here's a cool shot of a storm rolling in over back bay.

Welcome home Kevin, I just spent the last hour reading 50 pages of this thread because I saw that you were sick. Some friend I am! Anyway I am so glad that its in the rear view and that you have a wonderful dinner waiting for you tonight. Enjoy! And glad that your new acan didn't kick the bucket before you even got to see it and it is now flourishing! Yay! All is well in the world!

I might have to take you up on that, I have a section of my rock with high flow and 380 par I need to fill in and sps is my only option. I only have a birdsnest and a monti cap so I’m a little bit hesitant and have been dragging my feet. Care to share your first name? It’s okay if you don’t we will come up with a nifty nickname that we will like and you just may not. Isnt that right Rumple and Cornbread?
 
Hey great to see you Weston! How is everything?
It is going great. I finished my first year at the seminary. Right now I am on break at home. Quite a few cool things have happened. I was able to play in a air soft match with my brothers and did a football match with my old high school class mates against people I knew from the Portland area
