LOL. Yeah, he said to let him know if it hurt as that would mean that he missed... When I sucked the pillow and the little blood catcher they put under you up my um.... He said does it hurt and I replied that it was burning. His reply was burning is OK, let me know if it hurts:lol:

James...third time to try this post, and yes, more water on the way! I had to give my wife daily hormone injections and they were suspended in sesame oil. Talk about a hole punch! :lol:
Went to Portland yesterday with Sherman to check out the NorthWestern Coral Farmers Market and was a bit underwhelmed. I don't know if it was the first time for this event but it felt like it. It was almost 100%SPS so that was fine for us, but I imagine other reefers may have been disamyed by that. Also, "frag" events tend to attract reefers looking for deals and these were mainly specialized coral frags and fairly expensive. All the vendors that were there were very nice and eager to talk with visitors.
I did pick up a couple of nice little frags from Tyree who was very friendly, informative, and the most eager to make good deals. I got a nice baby blue mille and a cyphastrea ocellina for a total of $90 and both look stunning under my 20K lamps. They made it through dip/acclimation with no problems, and the quality of Tyree's frags was very evident.
My favorite quote of the day was while looking at a tank with 50+ frags in it Dang said, "I have all of these but that one, so I'll take that one." He cracks me up!

Sherman and I visited with Steve Weast before the Farmers Market yesterday and also met up with Dang there. We were truly amazed at Steve's tank recovery in such a short time.
The fish looked great, anemones healthy and happy, and lots of great coral colonies. Although Steve will downplay his tank... his talent truly shows in what is a fabulous reefscape. The "colony" I gave him is actually one of the smallest in the tank!! He has also kept alive the beautiful purple polyped monti frag that was all that was left of a nearly dinner plate sized piece after a month of battling STN in my own system. My policy is to frag colonies soon after inroduction into my system in the case of an "event" and I was glad to send this one back with Steve. One day I will get a piece back! You can see pics here. His cold water tank "experment" is coming along very nicely and is quite impressive.
We also followed Steve over Upscales and we were really impressed. This is indeed the best LFS I have seen for SPS and worth the drive to Portland alone.

If you lived on the Left Coast I would! Actually, Steve isn't doing tank tours anymore. It became too much of an invasion of privacy as everyone on the planet wanted to go see his tank. Totally understandable and I am sure his lovely better half had a little input into that as well.
I love to go to Portland though. Lots of fun stuff to do there just like Seattle. Next time you decide you need a Grande Decaf Double Shot Mocha Breve with Extra fat, stop in and I'll take you to Portland...but you'll be driving.

Oh yeah, I remember now...he had told me no visitors at the time and that is still true. He just invited me and Dang down since there was the event going on, and I think he felt obligated since we had given him corals. I doubt we will be over there any time in the near future.
I think they probably are concerned about security issues.

As some of you know, I have been having some difficult medical issues so I needed a laugh...From my Mom...
THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER
Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a
suggestion.
"If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds."
Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts. How long will this take?" I asked.
"They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies.
I stopped. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?"
Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your butt, didn't it?"
He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, he may even walk again.
Stupid, stupid man.

Well I hope you got over your hick up here soon!
Just for a good laugh, you may remember that I completely sealed my wetroom and in theory it will hold several inches of water before it begins to flow out over the lower portion of the door. Well last night I was wet testing an acrylic tank I made and used a python to drain it. I got distracted and when I went into the garage I learned the room really is water tight to about 3" and it flows out the door, into the center of the garage and drains right to the garage door. Come to find out after using a shop vac, for every 3" of water in the wetroom, it accounts for about 30 gallons of water:lol:
