Have to call it a night, have to go get my buddies John dear tactor tomorrow, he is too busy to come grind my stumps from the trees i had taken out. I told him i am taking the bucket with me. He has a back hoe with a lot of attachments. We used to harrow hunting club food plots for years with it. I plan on getting it at first light, so off to bed I go

Beautiful, you’re going to love them! They are so sticky when you handle them.
 
Yeah. its a curly haired young guy with multiple facial piercings that talks like Troy Landry off swamp people. He seems very knowledgeable in salt water. Today when i came in for some turbo snails. He was there doing some shelf stocking. I asked him if he had any turbo's. he said he have two very small ones, he also stated that a shipment was expected today but it did not come in. He is the guy for saltwater in Columbus GA Petco
You sure that wasn’t Tim ! Lol !! 😝

Night Jimmy !

Im just hoping I can get them to pile up where I want to put them. If not I have backup areas. This is all the porcelain crabs fault!
 
Heck man I forgot your address at checkout time. It was awful 😖
it's OK. I just called them and they were will to separate the order. that middle one is headed to maine. Thank you so much..it's going to look great in my tank!
 
I got home a little late and realized I had a gift in the mailbox. It was Jimmy's awesome hot sauce! This stuff was sealed up so nicely, I almost hated to open it!

Taste:
Great sharp flavor (like I love)
Heat was perfect for covering your entire plate in it
Even my kids loved it
At one point my 10 year old splashed me with it because he was hitting the bottom of rhe bottle like it was ketchup

Thanks Jimmy, Im glad you shared the recipe. We all enjoyed getting and eating it.
