AWESOME! They're not usually this late in the year, though, are they? Don't get me wrong - I LOVE that it's in October rather than in the summer but if I recall they've never been in October before, right?

PERFECT time of your for reefers.... we're all coming back to our indoor hobbies right about that time and we aren't broke from the December holidays yet.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
