Good morning everyone!!!!:coffee2::coffee2::coffee2:(pepsi for Radar)

Rushing this morning to clean tanks.
Taking hubby back to the doctor. They're getting him ready to blast the remainder of his kidney stones. He has passed seven. So I hope they can get the rest with no problems. They're doing xrays today and blood work. Will check in later.
Have a good day.
