I did see it on local news. Guess they found two bodies now. No idea yet what caused it.
Atkinson's fuel was there refueling, him and the owner were the ones life flighted out, 2 that died were customers. Hubs knows the prosecutors secretary so we're getting direct info. No official cause yet. We hunt in headquarters and would buy property up there in a quick second, it's amazing up there.

I used to avoid getting fuel anytime a tanker is refueling, because of sloshing of contaminates, but now something extra to consider.

I used to work in the area doing slashing, tree planting, thinning, and hand built fire line as well as burn contracts for my friends company.

What a horrible thing to have happen during a refill.

Been painting this paint by number. Looking so good so far, can't wait to hang this by a tank. Although I don't think I'll have enough room above the new tank since I'm building the stand so tall and adding a light canopy.

The painting called for a cream white background but I think I'm going to change to charcoal grey/blackish.

Some of these little areas are so small, using extreme concentration here.

Link? This would be something I'd enjoy over winter.

Amazon find! Paint is good but the brushes are not, invest in better ones that can do the fine lines. Brushes I bought extra are ok, but I'd buy better ones if I saw them. I do mix a dab a paint with a tiny drop of water to get a smoother consistency for the edges and lines. Will absolutely be doing more of these. Love them.

New leaves all over the babies! Had to share here since the husband thinks me cooing over baby leaves is weird.

Also, the pink princess is rooting nicely.

Mini monstera gave me a third leaf, but no root activity yet.

I also discovered how much easier it is to feed my plant since I have mealworms in my fridge now. Yum. I gave the smallest ones I could find to 2 largest traps, one on each main plant. I used to catch bugs/flies and feed those. I've had this one for a few years now.

Hey! How'd you get back here? Somehow my mandarin is in the aio chamber now. So official aio tally is 1 yellow watchmen goby, 1 mel wrasse and now 1 Mandarin. I did put both the mel and the ywg in there on purpose, both were being beat up in the main display and both have healed and are doing great. When I do my tank transfer I'll be shuffling fish around.

Have no idea how this dude made it here though
