Like this one. Not mine, just a stolen picture.

I do have a yellow toadstool frag from Marine Farmers that is similar. Same color, but a toadstool. Maybe it will turn into this.

Good morning everyone!

I saw or read something recently that yellow sps require more light that other sps to bring out the yellow. Any truth to that?

@Katrina71 , my sunny d's arrive next week.




Edit: they are scrambled eggs not sunny ds

Yellow. Been thinking about a cheap, easy yellow coral. Scrambled eggs came to mind first.

My scrambled eggs are a fast grower

Ok I need one now.

Why

 

[brett_schn]

Why

I was in a car accident a few months ago while driving super far to go pickup my dads friend. Guy I hit is from another country slammed on the breaks at a green light I hit my breaks but my truck didn’t stop. Talked to cops he said legally it’s my fault bc no one had a witness but he said that no legal action will be taken. My dad was mad at first but then realized nothing I coulda done. I offered to pay and I paid all the money to rebuild my truck and I rebuilt it myself
Come to find out I got 10 POINTS on my license. Insurance went up an extra $270 a month. So bc I don’t have a job he wants me to do work for him based on how much he thinks it’s worth. $3 to wash his truck and my moms car. $2 to mow the lawn.

look I’m not opposed to paying for it I’ve offered to from the start.But I want to be able to go get my own job again. I’m going to go get a job detailing planes and boats so I can just pay hIm

hard lesson. sorry. Rear ends are almost always the rear-enders fault. The law says you need to be driving a safe distance behind, which means enough distance to safely stop. Rule of thumb is 4 seconds behind in a 30 and 6 seconds in a 55. No one does that, but since it will be 3+ year for that to roll off your record for insurance purposes, this willl be a good time to start that practice.

Also, make a habit of looking that far in advance and make mental notes of the right shoulder is clear of hazards for a quick bail out to the right (never bail out into the oncoming lane).

I was going 10 under the speed limit and probably 60ft plus back. I was going 35 in a 45. He slammed his brakes so I hit mine. I jumped part of the median to avoid part of it but I was about to lose control so I kinda came off it and that’s when I hit. If I would have went over the median I would have been hit head on. The guy got all mad at me even tho it wasn’t even his car. I’m a cautious driver but I’ve been taught to drive aggressively as you have to here in south Florida. I’ve had to swerve many times because of people trying to change lanes into me. Beats me how they don’t see my truck

I am not sure you worded that correctly, but please be a defensive driver and NOT an aggressive driver. I worked in the insurance claims industry for 40+ years and have seen the carnage caused by aggressive driving. Always lookout for the other guy and don't assume they will obey traffic signals or laws. Think ahead and always leave yourself an out. That's my PSA for the day.

fyi, if you are traveling 40mph, that is 59 feet per second. The average car will take 2 seconds and 56 feet to stop at 20 mph.

Thus the 4 seconds at 30mph rule I mentioned. At 40mph that would = 5 seconds.

I know it sound excessive but that's the math if you want to avoid another rear end.

Intersections are hazards and so best to treat them that way. I was taught to take my foot off the gas and put it over the brake when approaching an intersection. (and red light cameras have forced me to do that for yellow lights as well). It becomes sub-conscience after a while, but it also becomes habit to scan the intersection earlier for bone head drivers.

Drive long enough and you'll stop trusting the other drivers.

Yeah that’s what I meant I’m super tired lol couldn’t think of the word defensive

Fin, he is correct in how he worded it, I know from living in Ft Lauderdale, you have to drive "aggressively" or you will be run over or run off the road there...it is literally crazy there...only place I have lived where I was almost afraid to ride my Harley, and it is the only personal vehicle I had with me down there for almost 7 months. I have seen some truly amazing things while I lived there when it comes to people driving

Edit: maybe I should call it Passive Aggressive driving ;Sour

Yeah it’s ridiculous here. I live 3 miles away from my school. I see 3-4 accidents a day on my way to school. Sometimes more but never less.

 

[Lowell Lemon]

And thank you pandemic, tampons are now limited and 50% more expensive.

Sorry I thought you said Tarpon...don't mind me my mind gets stuck on fish sometimes. Must be the virus.

And that's just the school busses right? No wonder you want to be a pilot!
