Thanks Paul, it's what's underneath that makes it what it is. Secret door at the end.

Perfect for a new tank

In the UK our clocks went back in the UK last weekend a week before you guys.

Then it's a good thing I didn't call you because you would have been asleep.

I used to raise cichlids .

Me too.

Atoll, I see this picture of Prince Henry here and he is wearing all those medals. I didn't think he fought in a war so are they for dancing?

Or was he in a war? I really don't know.

He also has hair like I do so I like that about him.

I already ordered boots. If they are from China or any other place that is not the US I will try to send them back or if not, use them for planters for my tomatoes.

In case the boots you ordered don't work out.

That Crusso Kid. Thanks, I do have some Red Wings. But remember I am looking for hiking boots, not work boots which are much too heavy for walking.

I wore work boots most of my life and combat boots in Nam.

Imissed that, anyway Henry served in Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot

 

[Freenow54]

Because Paul doesn't have any , maybe he hasn't realized it ? Kudos to Henry not fun

 

[Paul B]

Imissed that, anyway Henry served in Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot

Then I am very impressed and he was a Patriot. I have very high regard for Patriots, even from different countries than where I live.

I spent a lot of time in helicopters as Vietnam didn't have any roads that I ever saw.

 

[Freenow54]

You are drifting off fish again

Harry served but William? His are just honorary titles due to his position in the monarchy correct?

I don't know anymore than you do, am not a royalist.
However, why not Google it?
Here, I have done it for you.

Yes, Prince William served full-time in the British Armed Forces for over seven and a half years. [1, 2]

• • British Army: He graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in December 2006 and joined the Household Cavalry (The Blues and Royals) as a second lieutenant commanding an armoured reconnaissance troop. [1, 2]
  • Royal Air Force & Navy: He trained across all three branches of the armed forces, later transferring his focus to aviation. [1, 2]
  • Search and Rescue: He served for three years as an RAF Search and Rescue helicopter pilot based at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, before completing his military service in 2013. He later worked as a civilian pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
  • 
    
  • Active Combat: Unlike his brother Prince Harry—who completed two operational combat tours in Afghanistan—Prince William was barred from active deployment because his position as direct heir to the British throne made the risk too great."

Well they both did their bit of service then. Good on them!

I never served so I am not part of the brotherhood . But I enjoy freedom cause many have served and I am forever grateful.

 

[atoll]

Remember, we don't have conscription in the UK only volunteers for the services.

 

[Paul B]

Thats what we have now. I think our draft ended in the mid 70s.

Of course I served and was here on this day. (If that is not allowed or appropriate, delete it, no problem, but it's not political or religious, just history)

I just pulled out about 2 lbs of invasive algae and found 2 corals burried that I didn't even know I had. They are not in great shape because they were in the dark for a few weeks but they may pull through.

If I don't find a way to get rid of this stuff soon, I will just have a tank of salad.

I am still doing a test in a spare vat.
