Good Morning!

[mshonk]

Good morning everyone!

Might have a 3rd coffee not sure yet or steal one of my wife's nespressos. Didn't think they would be as good as they are.

Work from home days are pretty awesome and back to the winter wonderland and out of the 70° weather. No complaints just more layers! ;) I recently transferred a multi tank system into a 180g someone gave me and I was nervous for it while on vaca, but other than dirty glass and some cyano all is well!

Have a great day everyone.

Paul both my favorites! I am not a pasta guy but that is definitely my preferred and same for seafood I will take king crab over lobster any day. What a lucky young lady!


Ned how do you like the WRX? I have until next year so I am gathering info.

I was unimpressed. I am going to go look at another one. The car has a Cobb tuner plugged into it. I know what it is but not how to use it. Neither did anyone I met at the dealership. I dont know how the engine management was set up when I drove it. The car was grossly overpriced.
I found another one that is a year newer, has more options and is thousands less. Except it is white. I may go see it today. So far I am keeping the Impreza. I guess I need to remove the muffler delete If dealers are going to look at my car. They turn the stink eye on you for mods and then try to tell you how all the mods on their car increase the price.
All they tell me is the car has been run hard. Not good on a used car with a clutch.

Duly noted! Thanks for your insight. On a side note I was smiling when I noticed that watercolor painting in one of the photos you had posted. I had almost forgotten about that.

Well thank you for giving it to me. I will never forget. At least until I do because of the brain stuff going on. That seems to bother my short term memory more than long term though.

If you dig deeply enough that all happened in this thread. It was quite a while ago now though.

i'm allergic. ;)

i'm allergic. ;)

I am too. I went through the stabby stabby 40 times on your back thing a long time ago. Allergic to dogs and cats,
dust mites and things.
I didn't get rid of my feather pillow either.
Oh well. Instead of allergy shots I just got a dog and later a cat. Handling frozen marine food every day also seems to have desensitized me to shellfish. I used to itch and swell after handling frozen mysis on my hands, especially any cuts or wounds. I had to wash and be very careful not to touch my face and eyes. It doesn't happen anymore. I still wont eat it though.

Louie was crushed. I had to hold him and tell him it was okay.

Good Morning All!
Nother “frigid “ day here but I’ve got things to do, people to see & places to go!
On another note, R.I.P. Meatloaf!
I grew up with his music (on 8 track of course) and still listen to it now.

Good morning.
My sister-in-law’s funeral is Monday. Was planning to go but now rethinking it. My brother told me she tested positive for Covid while in the hospital, although she had a few health issues, diabetes, kidney disease (dialysis 3 times a week and on a donor list) and heart problems. She was fully vaccinated. Cause of death is being called pulmonary something or another, which means her lungs were filling with fluids. She had been living fine for a few years now with these health problems and was feeling fine that night when suddenly couldn’t breathe and died within 4 hours. So anyway, now the whole family has been exposed and I have mixed feelings about going. Do I knowingly put myself in what could very well be a full Covid outbreak?

Good morning! Vacation ends tomorrow, but what a fabulous trip it was! Our best day of snorkeling was yesterday…once again, kicking myself for not having a camera, even one of the cheapo varieties!! Hopefully, the tanks are doing ok. I haven’t heard any desperate pleas for help from the local kids…they’re usually good helpers. Anyway, have a great day! :)

I’m so sorry! That’s a tough call under the circumstances. In your case, I’d probably go with my gut. We questioned our sanity over taking this trip, but in the end we went with our gut feeling and I’m so glad we did! Thoughts and prayers with you and your family now.

morning all...

Good Morning. I am so spoiled not to mention lazy. I have a warm house. plumbing that doesn't freeze, either coming in, moving through or passing out of the house, with tap water in it. refrigeration, a couple of freezers, a warm dry bed, lights that usually work, central air, screened windows to keep out the bugs; storage that has no mold or critters.
cable, internet, cell phone service, mail delivery, trash pick up. stores within 2 miles. over the years i have created a comfy nest. and yet
i am thinking of acquiring a house that has not been inhabited or cared for in 20 years. on a property that has not seen a mower in that long. that i would try to rehab or convert or create something completely new.
half of me is saying i am up to the challenge, the other half is laughing at that half. this place is two hours away and 30 years ago.
Bless those who have decisions to make about their health. and for those who have duties. I am minded of the leper issue in the movie The Robe.
