Morning John !
I’ve always seen chili in the store where that say no beans and always wonder why ? Isn’t this what makes the chili ?
No CB that's what makes a bowl of beans. Chili peppers make
Chili. Hence the name. 😆
 
Love this for meditation. (thinking on next tank)

Kevin I didn't serve. I am a retired deputy sheriff. 21 years. My family has served for generations as has my husband's. Two brother in-laws. One brother. Husband and father. All career military. As far back as the civil war on my mom's side. I always knew I would be in law enforcement.

Military life can be hard on the families. By sixth grade I had lived more in other countries than my own. Knew next to nothing about my extended family. But on the other side of that coin I met a lot of great people and saw so much of our world. Went to school in Western Germany and later saw the wall come down. I once asked a future employer if I could use the backside of the application. The question: List all the places you have ever lived. 🤣
Chicago, IL and Phoenix, AZ (Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, and Goodyear are all Phoenix Metro Area?)
 
Cats I feel really like men. Sara prefers her dad. I am here to serve her.

I have my ReeFi uno 2 over a 40 breeder. So a short tank. It keeps my crocea and acropora thriving. While at the same time my trachy, scoly and numerous plate corals are doing great. I don't know how well they would do in a deep tank.
Our old cat started as my wife's before we were even dating. When we started dating my wife warned me the cat didn't like anyone. Meanwhile, the cat is taking a nap on my lap while I'm petting her neck and shoulders... Coulda fooled me? After my wife and I were married, my wife still could barely pet the cat. I'd wake up in the morning with the cat snuggled under my arm.
 
I’ll show you that’s what it looks like….
Now I’ll show the broken piece I fixed the red and clear piece on the left side of the picture but I didn’t wanna turn it on due to not trusting my fixing skills😅 now that I take a picture though I see why it broke rusted right up🤣

They make plastic clamps. I'd switch to one of those. They don't rust.

My daughter doesn't eat beans. We make chili without beans frequently. The seasoning you use makes the chili.

I understand but to me it wouldn’t be chili 🌶️
