so i had my local forum bbq today. it was a blast!!!!! got to put faces to names, had some wonderful eats, great conversation, the weather was perfect, all the kidletts played nicely together, traded off some of my unused equipment, and came home with a free emperor 280 filter and enough free gravel to change out my cichlid tank substrate! (and i don't care if there's a lil clown puke mixed in, hahaha) Woot!!!!!!!!! and i even got me a tan finally!
and the cop that gave us hell for driving the truck on the grass at the park to load up the bbq after didn't even give us a ticket! yay! lol.
