I could see you speeding around in this. Red hair flying all over the place. :)

First car was a '73 Chevelle SS. Bought it at 15.5 with the money I made while caddying. Started caddying at 12. Many, many cars since then. I've never tried to make a list but @Fin may have started something.

NIce! That is one that I wish I would have had. Cars were reasonably priced back then. My T/A cost $5,500 new - and it was still in limited production. It would have been a little more if it would have had a 455SD, instead of the stock 455. Not that there was anything wrong with the 455. :)

I have driven a couple of those...like I stole them! It's ok, I had permission.

The Chevelles were awesome cars. I think Chevy should do a new throwback design of them, like they did with the Camaro and Ford with the Mustang. I bet they would sell a ton of them. Timeless design. I saved this pic that I ran across on my phone of one a couple years ago. Has to be one of my favorite pics if any car.

It's been 4 hours without power now, whatever happened must've been spectacular. I watched the transformer in my yard throw a huge firebolt of purple flame multiple times with a sound like it was from Frankenstein, watching as the powercord connected to it is running to the roof of my house just over my head at the door that I'm watching all this happen from. Lol magnificent purple fire Sparks. What an afternoon. Well it started cloudy and was 79 but supposed to be 90+ degrees at 330 sun broke through and it continuously warmed up to 92 and at 5 it got dark out, street lights on dark green skies, wind picking up, and then the sky let loose. 60-80mph straight line winds, rain so hard I couldn't see 50ft. After all said and done it looks like a bomb went off in my yard then the sun came out and baked everything for an hour or two before going down. The power is out and it's super humid here. On the plus side the heatwave is going to miss us at least for the next 7-10 days the highest temp will be 80 or so.

Weird. I've always been warned about green skies. Apparently common with tornados?

Seen green skies nothing good follows. Would not surprise me that a tornado was in the area

My girlfriend has two that couldn't be farther from what you just said. You literally have to leave the room or they won't eat. Watch them from the door where they cant see you ir they dart into the rocks.

I've had 2 coral beauties I tried to add in with my fish. My clowns destroyed both of them in hours. One I saved but later succumbed to a velvet outbreak. The other was so badly beaten up before I could catch it, it didn't make but a short time in QT.

*shrugs* I just dont see the aggression in dwarf Angel's. They are some of the most talked up aggressive fish, and all I see are wussys.
Lol, true dwarfs. The pygmies. The 2" blue and yellow ones. Smaller than the African flameback or Brazilian fireball (another cheerful character)

They are ......


Yes, Some of the rarer dwarf angels are very shy and difficult to keep. Potters, rusty, and the really rare ones.

Adult flames and any size true pygmies are not in that category.

It like saying all dog breeds are identical in temperament and size.

I'm thinking the same, maybe lucky and just straight line winds. I have an aspen tree that looks like a bomb went off in the top, branches and huge limbs spread from my house to the neighbor's. Yea @Katrina71 green skies run for cover.
My grandpa used to say something along the lines of "red skies east green skies west your chances are best."

FWIW - my understanding is this is a possibility using a reef pi. However, in order to accomplish this type functionality, one has to know how to code in Go or Python to load the cycles specific to their region so that the ramping/dimming would be automatic. On the other hand, controlling lights through PWM and daily ramping/dimming with reef pi on-board scheduling is something that many reef pi builders/users do regularly.
I really want to play with reef-pi. The building part seems fun, but the programming sounds horrible. I remember programming in my old TI-89 calculator for trig? Calculus? Either way, mind numbing. But still, it would be awesome to diy a controller.

My dad use to have one exactly like that! Same color and stripes and all! It was his favorite car of all time. I hope they do a throwback that would be awesome.

I agree. I loved building desktop computers back in the day, gaming rigs. Seems kinda similar. I know nothing about coding.

I’m imagining it being 2:45am, error messages, and electrocution burns on my fingers. Possibly some tears and confused bystander cats.
