Overtime is nice as long as you take care of yourself and don't get too worn out!

I was at my brothers in San Diego, it was early morning and I was walking down the hall and I felt like I was on a boat in waves for a few seconds. I thought that it was strange, I don’t start drinking until 9:00am. I went downstairs and my brother asked if I felt the earthquake. It was 4.5 with the epicenter just west of Los Angeles. It was felt all the way to Las Vegas.

@Rocks reef I didn't forget about you:

8 gallon. Lights just came back on after a power outage... See how pink they are? And short to the plug.

Do you guys that use filter cups of anything other than filter floss in it?
Click to expand...
when I had them on two sumps ago, was good for carbon..with floss on top.
problem w floss is it clogs up fast just like felt.
So I kicked cups to the curb..
Doing a grate with felf over it for a bigger area and if the felt gets clogged water can still flow over it.
Cups will slow water down

been doing them and longer sometimes 24 hour shifts or 48 hour shifts for last 24 years depends on the situation and the collateral damage...
But girl wants me to apply for semi retirement position...basically when its bad I go...
