SOS

[geopod]

Hey everyone.SOme of you know me.I have a major crisis at home.I am overseas right now with the military and my wife says the house was flooded out by a water pipe so Needless to say she has to move the tank out of the house to another house.I already left messages for Jim(kuato)and Justin(kellehar)in case she needs more help is there anyone else that can give her a hand in moving the tank fish etc.You can call my wife at 915-5752 and her name is Barb.It would be greatly appreciated.I am due home in a few months.

George

[kellehar]

any help would be great as this is a 80 gal tank and it'll be very hard to do this by myself. I would also be very thankful for any volenteers that would lend a hand. I can be reached at #973-4554

thanks
Justin

[kuatto]

Thanks Jim and Justin.I appreciate it very much.I talked to the wife last night on the satelite phone and she is pretty upset the whole house is toast.I am just worried about the 90gal stand cause she says the wood is starting to buldge out...But what do you do.If I was home it would be different.But I have a 40 in the basement as well.I am sure you two will figure it out.Thanks again guys I will take care of ya when I get home.And another guy called named Imron?The wife says he left a message but her phone died and lost his number.....what next?

Hi George! Sorry to hear of the flooding!!

....And another guy called named Imron?The wife says he left a message but her phone died and lost his number.....what next?
Yeah that was me. ("Imran", actually..) :biggrin: Yeah I called Barb up and told her that she could call me if she needs some help.

My mobile is 886-2890, although I think I told her my number again in the afternoon so I think she should have it.

Take care, and don't worry - things will get better. :)

[kellehar]

hey george i was over at the house to day. she's been doing a great job on looking after the tanks. The stand is ok, a bit wet on the bottom but still sound. All your corals look good except for the candy cane. It was in a low flow area so I moved it to a spot with a bit more current to keep it alive. The new 10 gal looks great coriline growth and corals branching out.
hope things are going well for you on the prt .

stay safe and have a good one
Justin

[KrazyKuch]

I can help with the move this week....I am available after 4 pm monday thru thursday!!!

[geopod]

You guys are awesome.I feel so helpless being so far away and being able to do anything.Justin I already told Barb but be carful around the tank in case the stand does give out.Unless you checked all around the bottom braces...I hope the insurance co just says get a new one.They are there today anyways to finish doing the picture taking etc etc.Yeh the tat turned into a prt and I hope they let me out of here soon.The heat the bugs....smell.. well talk soon.

george

long story

[geopod]

Jim,

I will take you up on the first beer but I will provide the rest.....I am counting the days down but they seem to be adding not subtracting...I guess Barb got the ok to buy a new stand.As the other stand is unstable from the inside.So you guys have to be very careful she dont buckle on you.90gal is alot of weight. I hope you saved me a nice blue ric....or a nice bright one anyways.Did you want anything from here?
george

[geopod]

Mike,

I havent met these guys yet.But I will look for to them sy hello from you.My role here is GOD.You ask for power I give it to you.But if you are bad I can always take it away....I am the Dirty Diesel guy...generators..2 of us here running the power plant to keep everyone happy so they can eat, have light you know how it is.And the officers can have their air conditioning and their computers.But alot of people have no concept of a generator...uhhh what do you mean you need more fuel?What do you need that for?And why you asking for so much oil?What do you need that for?Story never changes...There is always one in the crowd.In this case a few.I guess they drive their cars with no gas and never change the oil in it.Anyways.Take care.So you are posted to Shilo...My old Battallion is there.I ended up coming to edm instead.Way before they left WPG.

george

[geopod]

Jim...Barb got another visit from a guy from ST ALbert pet store.He said he has bags,buckets and will be there for the move as well.She will keep you informed as to when it will happen.Gotta go to work for a bit

[kuatto]

[bulletsworld]

Yeah thanks Justin for making the post for more people to help tomorrow. You beat me to it. I think we may need it if its only you and me tearing down and setting back up for this 75gal or 90gal I can't remember the size again.

Jim please come if you can make it! *HUGS* Need guys to lift please!

Justin, I called Barb, Thanks for the message that she wanted me to call her. I will see you tomorrow after 4:30p.m for tear down and setup.

Justin please tell me the tank hasn't been sitting without power. :neutral: Have you checked lately? I imagine since your down the street you stopped by to see. Please tell. Pm Me. Thanks

[kellehar]

hey guys this is justin kellehars wife writing back, if you needed directions here they are

take 97th up passed namao centre, take the next right turn off, the signs will say welcome miliary familys and edmonton garrison. go to the second set of lights, there is a gas station and canex there, turn left on arras, go passed the stop sign, and her house number is 305 arras.

justin thinks that people might need to bring what they can for bags and buckets. that would help alot.

thanks guys

Brad

[geopod]

Thanks Brad.

I think they are doing stuff friday after 4 pm.So if you can make it it would be great.I think justin will give you a call.As my wife doesnt have email right now as the computer got toast in the flood as well.So he is my main contact right now.As well as Jim and Lee.Thanks again guys......Brad who you with?I take it you are getting ready to do the 2 month pre dployment excercise?Bummer.I hear that the feb roto is a 9 monther.....thats the rumor over here right now.

[snaggle]

I am with 745 Comm Sqn a reserve unit on the south side. I have heard the same thing over here to, oh well I think it will be a good go it will be my first tour I have been waiting for 4 years.

Brad

[kuatto]

I can bring lots of ziplock bags and a couple of buckets and am only 5 minutes from George's place.Maybe if we can get ahold of some more buckets and or large rubbermaid containers.Also is there power heads and or air pumps or do we need to bring some?

[geopod]

Jim,

I think Barb said the guy from the pet store in St Albert is bringing a truck and buckets etc....It wouldnt hurt to have a few extras.I should have rubbermaids in my basement if the insurance guys didnt use them for other needs at the time.I have a few extra power heads under the stand.And some heaters there as well.On the side of the inside of the stand I have 1-2 heaters tucked away between the 2x4's.So you should be good to that respect.

geogre

[kuatto]

I have to go out for a bit,but will be there around 4:30.I only have one pail(the others are being used right now)and lots of ziplock bags.

[kellehar]
