John, use Chewy. I got 3 boxes of it there for 50 bucks, albeit with a 20 dollar discount they were offering on purchase 49+ last week. I know you want to support the lfs, but it’s good to have a solid backup like Chewy.
Hi Steve !
 
Well both the salt and water came today. Was expecting the salt but as of last night the earlier was supposed to be here not until Tuesday. No complaining mind you. The water was in 3 boxes and each had 2 easier to carry 2.2 gallon bottles. Here’s my nosy cat investigating..

@steveschuerger gotta make a stop birthday dinner night in B ton so it all worked out. Any dinner thoughts.?
Considering I just woke up 10 minutes ago . Not really. Honestly expecting to go back to sleep but dinner works I guess. When? I want to at least freshen up.

Can we postpone this for a bit actually. I’m really tired and I want to enjoy myself if I’m going out.
 
Yes it is! What on earth are you doing up this time of morning?
I was trying to entertain the Smorgasbord masses lol. I went a little late on an off night 😆
 
Almost 17 inches so you are close my friend! My great nephew asked if he could be in the picture with me.

I just saw this Steve! I did find out that petsmart carries it and offers free same day delivery. I will definitely keep chewy in mind as well!
 
Ok after some texting got it figured out talking about where to go tomorrow for dinner. Between that oddball sentence structure and my still tired and sloshy brain I was thinking Bobby meant do it tonight . So now I’m gonna do a Wilco water change and crash for a few hopefully.

Yah, I found out it’s in high demand at the Petsmart. I tried to get four delivered but delivery guy showed up with one saying it the only one from the store I chose. If it’s close enough you might want to call the store directly to find out how much they have and make a run yourself.
