Have you ever done anything for the hobby that you normally wouldn't do?
I'm preparing to jump back into saltwater so I wanted to buy tanks for a salt mixing station. I found 125 gallon horizontal poly tanks on sale at the local farm supply store. Unfortunately, the closest store didn't have any so I drove 2 hours round trip to get them. I got them home, unloaded them from my trailer and looked at my back door. Then I looked at the tanks. Then I looked at the back door. Then I got my tape measure. Sure enough...the door was 1" too narrow for the tanks to fit through. So the sensible thing to do would have been to return the tanks and get smaller ones, right? That would be too easy! Instead I tore out the back door, frame and all along with one side jamb on the basement door to get the tanks in. I then spent the rest of the day reinstalling the door and trim.
Am I alone or are there other passionate (a.k.a. crazy) hobbyists out there?
