Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
exactly what I am doing today, everything from qt being glued/epoxied into the tank. I switched my shower to monthly for better scheduling.
That my friend is brilliant, what kind of private school did you go to, parochial?
 
Hey Smorg! Sorry, rebuilt and reinstalled the transmission in the Envoy for the fifth time today. I think we got it this time!
 
We were like a NASCAR crew out there except pulling transmit instead of just changing tires

God 5 rebuilds and installations in one day. Your even more of a better man than me.
 
This is what I got accomplished today, nothing as cool as transmissions, a 3 headed frag of the NY Knicks torch and a 2 headed frag of my Hellfire torch.

Hey, when you're driving your mom's Prius, it's very motivating to fix transmissions.

Somehow I’m having a very difficult time picturing you driving a Prius with your rifles and fishing gear in the back seat. I so want a picture!
 
Back at it again with this lovely view! Last hunt of this trip hopefully we will get to come at least one more time before season closes.

I so want you to get that 28 point Amanda ( that’s a 14 point Tim)! Wishing you luck!
 
No, I live in a small town near Albany. I went an hour up North for this tree farm though. We don't get that much snow.
Well I blew that one. Do I still get to answer questions that are directed at you so you can spend more time with the pups and your tank or am I fired.

Whoo, I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I wasn’t far off, they are both in the northern hemisphere. Practically neighbors, just a 4 1/2 hour drive.
