I had a site at a concrete recycler which had a 3 wheeled F 450. Which is a 6 wheeled truck. That was quite the site. Just about did the job though.

I see what you did there! Get some rest. The baby needs it.

I'll do my best. I'm back at work, so a nap needs to be stealth.

Yep
Two at the back one at the front. Carefully loaded to balance it onto the wheels that were there.

So only issue is steering. Did OSHA know about it?

If OSHA visited I’m sure they’d have a lot of things to say. Luckily I only have to take care of my own employees and contractors.

it's no missing wheel, but I was in road construction a while back (holy buckets, that was almost 20 years ago) and our dump truck had a hole in the break line (air brakes, so not an issue if the truck stayed running) and an idle that didn't keep the truck running. almost ran my boss over with a load of asphalt...

Probably final body count is 3 acros and the torch. All 3 acros were battlecoral. One of the other two is turning brown and the other is doing different things.

also, I saw the other day that my gyre has stopped working. it probably needs a clean. I'll have to do that with all my free time.

new thread about a cabinet I'm making...eventually.

Reef Cabinet

The longer I reef, the more stuff I seem to collect. Meds, food, cleaning supplies, backup, dosing charms, you know what it's like. So I am designing a controller cabinet. The space I have to fill is 12"x24" and as tall as I want to make it. That will be 5 feet. Five feet because I can then...

It's difficult. Each babe is so unique. But, it's a lot more comforting at home.

As for being red and sweaty, it's our job to figure out if less or more layers of clothing is needed. It's summer, keeping him cool is just as important as keeping warm.

my son was born late december. Keeping his hands warm was so difficult.

Anyhow, this woman, pricillia dunsten really helped me understand my sons cries.

I hate Opera, but i give credit, where credit is due.

Give her a listen she might help you understand the dufferent sounds of baby cries and what they mean. Took away a lot of guess work for me.

fun fact, my dog did not appreciate this video. he was very distressed about the baby trapped in the speaker.

Got clean glass. First time in over a month.

I've been there. Fortunately, Sunny grew out of trying to get things out of the tv.

knocking on doors is the worst. complicated by our show selection, Brooklyn 99, psych, and home reno shows. everyone is always knocking on things.

yelp. lost the other torch to bjd. I don't see anything up with the hammers or the frogspawn, so I think I might be in the clear. I will treat them soon though. Cipro? or full kfc dip? or seachem coral dip (I have this one so there is no waiting beyond do I have a baby in my arms).

A note on the hammers, I have seen some red spiky things on the stems. they aren't tubes like vermiteds but they seem no bueno. next time I have one out of the water I will get a picture of it. they are sharp and calcinus, any idea what it could be?

Sorry to hear that!

I've never done any dips for BJD beyond Reef Primer - it's supposed to work but didn't for me but mine may have been too far gone by the time the corals arrived.
