Hi Joe,
You're back, how's vacation? Hope it was fun!!!
Regarding 1st pick, you already know why.
I always show up the next morning after arrival.
But of course, my 1st IS NEVER before you
since you always take the koi out from the shipping box (lol)
I ended up not taking the ginrin showa because of the body shape. when it was in QT it looked really good, but when Kev. took it outside, it started eating and Oh man, the belly was not very nice, let's put it that way.
Anyway, good to have you back.
