I lived in the DMV for 1.5 years or so (when we ran our first tank), on the V side. I-95 scared me all the way to Alaska.
Man... And I thought ours was slow. Usually takes a couple of hours.

Yea, its nuts down there. I grew up in New England, moved down with the future wife, I first recall heading somewhere at 10 PM on a Saturday, and finding bumper to bumper traffic on 95 like, what the heck?

The automated speeding ticket cameras also killed me. Used to travel back and forth in the wee hours, got a ticket for 71 in a 65 on 495 at 2 AM. They mailed me a pic of my car/plate and ticket. My friend told me I should send back a picture of money for payment.
I'll be doing 80 in a 65 on the 101 out here and the police will ill flash their lights for me to get over so they can pass me...

They're AC probably went out and they need to get back to the office LIKE NOW.

In my defense, I was only traveling 71 mph at 2 AM since I just received a summons for 107 mph on the Delaware Memorial Bridge :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I paid for 14% of the east coast highway infrastructure between 1998 and 2013.

I used to carry a bubble gun in the side pocket door of my jeep, and when sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the beltway, would blow bubbles out the window while cranking music. Lots of people enjoyed it, but I also got a bunch of expletive laden insults hurled at me, too. I enjoyed both in equal measure.
That's a fun idea. I used to blast classical radio in high school with similar results. It's amazing the number of people who will cuss out a high schooler for listening to classical music.
I had a friend who was a nut job and would do handfuls of pennies out the sunroof. I do not recommend this. He received results, however they varried greatly.
That would work. But as my wife reminds me, that's also how people get shot.

I pulled the trigger on one of the shopping carts. Ordered the following:

Copps Cali Staghorn
Bali Green Slimer
RRC Golden Rod Anacropora

I also ordered two additional NooPsyche K7 pros from @Zach B to see if I can get away from running the T5 supplementals. I want to eliminate the shading without the T5s washing out the shimmer of the K7s, which is, IMO, almost on par (pun intended) with Kessil.

Still debating the other cart.

Also, he has another Jeweled Leopard. We're gonna ship next week!!

Hey @Mschmidt would you be interested in a matted filefish, too? He's beefy @ about 4" and is a known aiptasia eater. The only issue, and it's minor <ahem>, is that if you run out of aiptasia, he also likes snails. Not trochus or turbos, though.

I am in orange notification hell.

Less than 24 hours and two more pages.

There is something very fishy about the thread.

Pardon the comments and intrusion and carry on…

Tim is in Arizona and, while expressing desire, was being facetious. There is no rush. This weekend is a wash for me, but with the exception of a few doctors' appointments this week, Monday into next weekend should all work on my end.

oh yes. I am familiar with Tim. I will, however, trade the fish with him for the tank he just won. after it eats my aiptasia of course. I'll even cover shipping.

we can work out pickup through pm as requested too.
