Prayer rug. Good idea. I might need to borrow that in the near future.

I have 1 gorg that loves the light. I was sold it as an NPS and I put it under an overhang. It never really flourished until I put it into the light....

That's interesting... watching paint dry at the moment. Getting tired.

Thanks for pointing that out though. Tomorrow I'll hafta look into it.

Instead of sitting there on my phone watching paint dry, got off my large rear cushion and decided to just do the entire stand. Not just the trim. Sometimes you just get into the rhythm and do more. Glad I did.

3rd and final (I think) coat.

Not sure how long I should wait to pull the tape off. Almost wanna let it sit overnight wide open. If I pull the plastic i fear its gonna smear paint and be latex stretchy and screw up the edges... then I will be hulk angry:mad:. Smash.

Thanks all for the pick me uppers, I needed them. I still remember the first time I saw this tank, uncovered in a barn. Pretty proud of the results.

If u take out the livestock, I am only 1400 into the entire build. Lighting and Equipment included. Cant beat that.

Yea the bumblebees are killin it so far. Not expecting miracles. Just gonna let them settle and breed.
Not at all sir. But the ap garden is getting substantial. Heh. All in due time bud. I keep killing the ones close to the frags to keep losses down.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

I will catch up on posts soon.

I lost a childhood peanut butter and jelly cousin. Inseperable. Tragic motorcycle accident.

I will be back when I'm ready. Too much to handle and deal with at the moment.

Thanks for those who have reached out so far, your thoughts helped.

He and I spent every summer together. Did it all. No TV. I wrote a piece and spoke at his service. Maybe I'll share when i am ready.

He is the red head, we are 8 months apart.

So Sorry Rich, I went through this exact same thing 3 years ago with someone I’d known since kindergarten. Not a motorcycle but a car wreck at 39 years old. if you need/want to chat shoot a text.

*The more I think about it...It was two weeks later I got my first tank and very much a part of what lifted me out of a deep depression.
