Morning Peeps!

Funny enough, we thought about doing cheesesteaks tonight!

Thank you my friend! I hope you are as well!

Morning Rock!

Good morning Tom

Morning Amanda !
Good morning Amanda, CB, Paul, Rock, John and Bailey. Sorry for the group GM but after spending all morning with the tank I’m purty darn tired and just want to grab a bite and crash. Did a bunch of husbandry and took out the higher power wave maker I recently got. Just a little too vigorous. I’m still debating a new larger(slightly) tank and possibly a light change.
 
I’m heading up to Camp Crystal Lake today with my teenage friends if you or anyone else wants to come!
I remember I saw the original when it came out. Guy we knew worked at the theatre and snuck us in. The second film we watched was one of the best westerns I’ve seen. The Long Riders. It didn’t have Kevin Bacon getting skewered in bed but had both the Keach Brothers and I think all of the Carradines . I highly recommend it.
 
Kev,

It shows your box was delivered!
Oh jeez, my Ring didn’t go off because they put it in the garage and not my porch. They are beautiful Rock , heads are fully open. Nerds, I highly recommend this vender, great communication, packing, pricing and a very healthy and happy torch! I can’t thank you enough Rock! It’s temp acclimating can’t wait to mount it in the tank, picture will follow!

I think that one has 5 heads, possibly 6. I had NO idea how to ship something that size. I used a tupperware dish and cut it down to fit in the bag. I'm glad it arrived safe!! Can't wait to see it in the tank my friend!!!
 
But where’s the free hat? 🤣
If you had seen how full the box was from that one torch, I don't think I could have fit a hat in there!
 
Amanda, yours is showing by 9:00pm??? Not sure why. It will be fine, I used a 72 hour heat pack. Just make sure you temp acclimate it just in case.

Vendor? I like paying it forward my friend, not looking for a profit. I am blessed that I am able to share with the Smorg family.
