Hi there did you get into the riding program?
 
Everything’s well! Slowly getting the upgraded tank situated. Have had way more stress with plumbing then I want LOL.
My husband can build houses or what ever and do electrical work all day long but when it comes to any kind of plumbing he would rather pay to have it done.
 
Hi there did you get into the riding program?
They had an emergency and had to take a horse to Atlanta and now the riding stables on the military base is having problems so they are there this week helping them with their horses, which I also volunteered for.
They are understaffed and took major damage from the last storm. They have a hundred acres with several hundred trees down.
I volunteered to help and feed the horses and stalls.
So any day now I’ll be getting trained to feed and clean. And then once there is enough time I will be trained all about horses.

That is awesome! I think you will find just being around these beautiful creatures will help you a great deal. I'm a big beliver in that video I sent you on Facebook.

Meee tooo!
I’ve been reading all about it after you sent me that video and it is truly amazing what horses are capable of doing with humans!
Truly amazing and seems divine and designed that way!!
 
For the record you are all more than welcome to friend me on Facebook. I don't post negative or political stuff and try to keep it fun with cute videos and such that I share. I figure the world has enough sadness and negativity in it without me adding to it. I do however occasionally post Christian content but nothing pushy.

Hey bud, good to meet ya

Ditto lol
 
Good morning smorgs. It’s Wednesday, so the start of the end of the week :) hopefully Russ will be in a good mood today.
Good morning!
 
Who is the plumbing guru of the group!?

I’m building my 125G still and bought a bunch of 1 inch plumbing parts to match my overflow. Rookie mistake, I didn’t confirm that my return pump (maxspect 10K ) only has attachments for 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 barb couplings.

I want to go from barb to pvc at the return to reduce friction. How can I reduce the pump down to 1 inch, I know it’ll kill flow but I should still have enough if I reduce down.

Thanks.
