My 40 gallon recife build

Yes! Hawkwind is one of my favorite bands.
Nik was gross and made those sounds so they combined them into Hawkwind

Some of their greatest music was when Turner was kicked out of the band and went solo.
I knew you would know because of your love for the band.

Here is the quote that I saw from Dave Brock,
“Nik Turner had a habit of spitting snot out of his mouth, and that was commonly known as hawking at the time. He also farted a lot – so you put ‘hawk’ and ‘wind’ together and you get Hawkwind.

“We added in the ‘zoo’ bit because all of us acted like animals, and that was the perfect description of our behaviour. So anyone who thinks it’s a deep and meaningful space rock term – forget it!”

After reading it, I was like, “Hellllllllll yeah!”

Haha that's epic! Dave Brock is the best, I love that dude's voice and style. Robert Calvert was a genius too before he passed. I didnt know you were so well versed on the band! I should've though, your music interests are broad and varied.

I love the fact that you admitted to hating the last song I posted. There's nothing better than a real person lol

You like "real" do ya? Well, here's some "real" for ya; I didn't know much about Hawkwind, other than some of their music, before seeing that you were a huge fan. I figured, "If John really digs them then maybe I should check them out." Which I did. After doing so, I have a newfound respect and liking for them.

(I was going to "get real" in a different area but, you know, TOS!)

Still a few hours left today!
I used to love when it snowed multiple feet, but that was when i was building cell towers on mountain tops and was always dressed for the occasion anyways.

How are the utilities holding out?

I like how casually you slipped that in there Zack. Oh no big deal.... 🤣
 
I guess this is the remnants of the winter storm coming in over the Gulf.





No snow or anything for us, but the temp is definitely on its way down.
 
Here's a video of the tank from last night. Some of the corals have started to go in for the the evening, but all of the bubble algae is gone, and the newer fish seem to like their home.

Now we just need to get you to accompany your videos with some tunes.

Well done, though.

Thank you Amanda. ❤️ I do wish the tank was a big one like yours, but Im finding places to pack corals for now.

Appreciate it Kevin! I think it's back to the AI drawing board time!
