holds both ends of the week together. Grooviest of good mornings, and happy hump day to all. Coffee and cibmc will lead us into another upperupper 70s day sorta day. This week has been a blur at work.....usual for this time of the year, but exasperation by the now 'usual decision making process from upstairs.'. The gist is the boss sees EVERYTHING that lies ahead of us, BUT fails to understand ALL OF IT doesn't have to be done now. Were now launching boats 3 weeks ahead of their...

Hi all! I’m finally getting my 75 gallon reef tank back up and going after a 6 year break. With my previous set up I built my own sump with a 15 gallon. This time around I am considering purchasing a pre fab sump mostly because a DIY project doesn’t sound too fun right now in addition to getting the tank set up and I’m trying to stress less this time around. I’m not wanting to spend more than $300 on the sump and I’m realizing that the ones in my price range are pretty small! My... Pre-Fab or DIY ..read more

Well start as usual with fresh coffee and cibmc, and something new.....warm temps.....60° heading to the mid to upper 80s to lead us off. THAT WORKS!

But no heat wave....yet. C'mon, go grab some coffee....your up anyway, Hack ..read more

a nice quiet start.... VERY QUIET. So a nice quiet good morning to all, and happy Sunday. No reason to rush folks on a Sunday. Coffee is fresh.....and that's as good as it gets so far. Looking to climb above 80°f today.....after a sluggish start that may involve a short rain spell early. Meeting the Sams around noonish for lunch, and then some shopping.....all of us.....for some reason. ? Tried to stay up late last night.....made.it till about 1130p, before eyelids...

Coffee, cibmc, and an alarm clock for sale.if you can channel your inner Willy Mays and catch it. For some unbeknownst reason it had an urge to wake me up at 530a on my day off.....don't think it reached orbital velocity when I threw it, but wasn't due to a.lack of.effort.? First up is a.trip to... Psssst....Saturday ..read more
