I haven't been as active on my thread lately guys, with all the acros dying, there hasn't been a lot to report. Things are turning around, now I must defeat aiptasia again!

Does anyone have an entry in the fish head potm contest?

I have this guy in there.

Good to have you back on. I thought you started golfing like Zack did when he ghosted us for a bit. Glad things are turning around. Hang in there and congrats on 2 years!

Much appreciated my friend!
Yeah you know Zack, as beautiful as they were, it was hard to watch them fade out, but I learned a lot and I'm definitely not done with them. Ill have a special place in the new system for them, and I'll go a little slower this time.

Thank you OG! I'm getting it ready for a strong 3rd year!

I used to "golf" when I was a teenager. The best course down here was on the SeaBee base. They eventually opened a civilian entrance so the public could play on it. They asked me not to fish in the course's lakes, and in their defense it was several times...
Then we started shortening the throttle cables on the golf carts because they were gas! Man, you talk about fly!! The carts would do burnouts, wheelies and everything! For some reason they asked us not to come back. I had a few beers that day, so I'm not sure why....

No fishing and no burnouts? Who would want to golf there anyways.
