This music is a good fit for, "The Smiths". Here is a song from a one off album of a sort of supergroup with Delores O'Riordan from The Cranberries, and the band from The Smiths.


Morning John !
 
Well a little situation occurred this morning. I’d had a slight rock slippage as my rocks aren’t glued into place due to being live rock from the sea. I started to try to fix and of course the whole thing lets loose. No damage to livestock at least. Started putting it together again and got cute, deciding to expand the cave sizes. One clown freaks out and lands on the floor. I get it back in but for now is still getting its courage back but seems physically unharmed. Will keep an eye on . Art least it’s starting to hang with the other one a bit more again.
 
I've never hunted terrain like that. When I was in my 20s and could see, I was on the state rifle team down here. I went to nationals 3 times in ARC level 2 and once in master sharpshooter. I held my own in arc but some Montana kid whooped me in masters. This is the type of long shot hunting I've always wanted to do.
I was in Colorado when I was 14 and 15, My dad and I did a lot of hunting then
 
@kevgib67 , I did not see the last quarter, had a small fire in my master bedroom bathroom. Had friends and family over and a friends wife put a cigarette butt in the trash can that was not out. We don't smoke in our house, but there is a ash tray in the bathroom for the wife (who still smokes) and the vent fan pipes it outside. i can say that my smoke alarms saved the day.

WE have spent most of today scrubbing wall, floors, ceiling, toilet, mirrors, and basically everything. today. The bathroom had soot on everything. no damage to the floor, but caught it in time. Had fans running to vent the rest of the house last night. Its scary to open your bathroom door to be confronted with a wall of smoke and you can see the flames through it
 
Not yet. I was thinking of asking the group if anyone in the group had a nem they were willing to give up or sell . Wanna do it before they get ideas about that new Goni in particular
I can send a really nice Aiptasia Anemone.
