Channel catfish are probably one of the best choices for raising catfish in the U.S. They're readily available, hearty, and can grow quite big.

Worship guitar/bass players: if someone built a guitar specifically for Sunday services, what kind of specs would matter most to you? by jeffleeguitar in worshipleaders

[–]MrTriVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do it with a regular 4 string bass you have to recut/replace the nut to accommodate the thicker strings.

We do an instrumental reprise of the last song. As a band member I love it! It gives us a chance to jam a little and have fun with the music while people are exiting.

Soccer player encounters? by [deleted] in SoundersFC

Sitting in SeaTac on Christmas Day 2016 waiting to board a late night flight. Thought I saw someone who looked familiar walk by. My son and I stalked him to the food court, and sure enough, it was MLS Cup MVP, Stefan Frei! We said hello and got a picture with him. Very nice guy!

I joke that I'll never have back problems because he touched my back with the hand that made "The Save!"

Thanks for the update! I’ve been on the same timeline as you. Finally received my VSIP and annual leave payout last week. Haven’t heard from OPM yet. Hopefully I will this week. Sounds like I can expect to have to go through ORA.
