Here's the video I promised. Not sure why there are little particles floating in the tank that is making the side few cloudy looking. I'm thinking its possibly a little sand that got stirred up yesterday when I drained and then refilled it. I'm going to put an HOB temporarily on the back to help it clear up.

Alright I guess it’s my time to share. We started dating my senior year and her junior year in high school. In December we will be married for 36 years and together for 41 years. She’s a nurse and for 2 years when I was either in bed at home or an hour away in University Hospital she was with me while working full time, taking care of the house, inside and out and taking care of the kids. I used to tell her to not come see me in the hospital but spend the weekend at the lake with family. She’s stubborn. She should have ditched me!
