You would have to convince Dave back into bringing livestock other then just coral first.

YES, I am still in the road heading home but only for another 10 min.

FOCUS GREG! 36 hours awake and driving!!! Get home, feed the fish and get to bed bud you deserve some sleep!

Glad to hear your almost home safe though, the roads out there are disgusting right now.

Well the first 60 km was a little tough with each lane having 4 lines each but then my back painkillers with caffeine kicked in :biggrin: and the roads where actually not that bad.

Well......... Around 130 km/hr +or- 10 km:lol:

Coolest thing since the ISO 6 update I now have voice to txt with my $4000 after market head unit I put in my truck..........just need an amp & some kick arse speakers.............VOLBEAT @ 30 just wasn't loud enough tonight.


Sheena, did you take anything home tonight?
Levi, what kind of zoa's where the colony you took home?

[The Grizz]

Today's random thought.........& it might be cause I'm completely wiped out but.........this kinda bugs me..............

Someone PM's me asking if I have an extra of an item they are looking for with a price. I return said PM promptly then.............NOTHING..........no thank you, no I will let you know ASAP or even thanks but that's a little more them I was looking to pay for said item.

Like I said it might be cause I have worked the last 36 hrs straight & I'm a little on the touchy side but really.........

Good that you are home with no tickets....:lol: love the loud tunes on the road, especially when tired!

I grabbed some zoas, acans and the yellow octo. All are still grumpy and not open, hopefully fine tomorrow.

Now get some sleep!

[Zoaelite]

All the unopened frags are still closed, the colony was a indo $hit mix looks like nuclears, packers, among a few interesting morphotypes.

Couldn't pass on the Concept price though, hard to believe they are coming out with a discount program on their already low priced pieces!

true i guess, but this hobby is on the back seat now for me, enjoying spending time with my twins more than spending time on tank. Oh well, it always is about priority.

yes seriously Josh. Feel like that is the only way to get this tank up and running

[Nano]

So. My excess nutrient/detritus theory was 110% correct. Lights are off I decided to peek in with a flashlight.. what do I see? The biggest bristle worm I've ever laid eyes on, easily 6"+ long

Put a Maxijet on the bottom of the tank to keep detritus suspended for my skimmer. Hopefully I can starve the bugger cause i doubt I'm Gonna catch him.

Guess washing the car at -12 then driving across the city is not such a great idea. Doors froze shut, took a few minutes to get out...lol. Now that the car is clean, it will snow, I promise!:lol:

Well look at the bright side, at least it's better to freeze the doors while in it. A hard shove usually does the trick, but if you're on the outside broken door handles would probably have been more likely.:biggrin:

I had no idea they were nasty! I even asked Neal before I brought him home!
I named him Sashimi because if I ever catch him....

On a side note I found my emerald crab upside down in the back of the tank and the new urchin has constructed the most lovely hat.

About Glue...I use model glue (crazy glue, We build plastic models so...)after I compared the ingredients to coral glue and found them identical I usually hit it with a spray that makes the glue cure faster or so it claims. The day I buy a 20.00 bottle of crazy glue...its right up their with buying 20.00 media bags and filter socks...oh and "special" plastic aquarium mesh,50.00 algae scrapers too!!!

Just got off the phone with my Transmission shop owner bud
Good ol' Chrysler is still making disposable trannys, so even if your case wasn't cracked, you'd be in the same boat
The prices you mentioned aren't so far out of whack
Try to get a warranty of some kind on the used unit and cross your fingers it was well taken care of with low miles

Chrysler trannys do last a long time, they're just not rebuildable, so don't fret the used one

[Nano]

Yeah this one has 75k for warranty still the jeep its off of was written off from being t-boned lol. Chrysler said its fine, just to let them know if there's issues before the warranty is up and its a free fix.

So sick of my job. The last six months I've been trying to do the work of two trucks. I run a vac truck. The money is great but 300 hours a month with only 4 days off is killing me. I get **** on buy consultants and I'm told to take it. I am told to sleep in my truck rather than them find me some relief. Told I can't take holidays for the sixth year in a row. The company was great before but now it's big and the boss grows ignorant. I just want to quit and leave it all behind.

Time to talk to the bank about a business loan and buy your own vac truck.They are always in high demand. You may not get any more time off but it will at least be much more gratifying.

I hear that, I used to work for a company that built vac trucks... Nothing but glorified a-holes. I asked for time off when my baby was born (just 2 days nothing major) I got in deep s*** when I came back. Went to HR about it to find out what the big problem was being there for the birth of my first born, she called the boss in and I was threatened with lay off if I was so much as late again.. this is after 8 months of being 15 minutes early and leaving 15-30 minutes late each day, and I never missed a day except the ones I asked for.. family definitely isn't priority for them.

IMO if your in a position to do so, look for something a little more flexible in that sense.

[Proteus]

That's another issue. I was to be 30% ownership of this truck when I got it new. My boss and I had a agreement and when I was to pay my share he cut me out and said maybe in five years😡

A combo unit right now is $450,000. And with the industry having core standards its to much money to write a saftey program. I was going to buy one this year and my boss told me he wouldn't contract me. The thing is that when myself and friend approached this company they had no vac truck work and we brought our customers with us. If I can manage to stay local. He knows the work will leave with me. And I won't go back up north. I've applied for a local operators job with oil company and have had more than my share of job offers but I don't want to jump around. I worked up north for 10 years and want to stay local now. I think really all I need is a holiday. I have one planned for march but that's not soon enough.

Rant over😉

I have a job offer on the plate now. A company has askd me 5 times already and again today. I would only work 14 days a month. Which is awsome but I'd loose 25,000 a year. Moneys not everything and the kids would like me home more

I hear you. I was up in Fort Mac for 5 years making really good money then along came the family and I basically took a temporary $80,000 year hit to start all over with something new. I'm making pretty good money now and I'm home every night with the wife and kids and the extra money up north just doesn't buy that type of thing.

Yeah I spent most my time in northern bc. Drilling rigs love the work love the money. Same story family came and I came home. I'm home daily but lots of time it's well after kids are in bed. Dec slows down for me so there a little more time for the family

If only i had known earlier that to be a physician would be extremely difficult.i would have never gone to Med school:cry: my brother lied to me:cry:

[gregzz4]

WHY did you all keep this hobby a secret from me for so many years ?

Had I known I could have so much fun scrubbing coralline from the glass; cleaning skimmers; removing vermatids, derbesia, bryopsis, cladophoropsis, bubble algae, aiptasia, mojano and other pests; dealing with equipment malfunctions, failures and upgrades; plus all the unexpected costs of keeping a reef ... I would have started one when I was younger
If only someone had told me years ago about this hobby, I would have certainly been certifiable long before now :silly::twised:

Glad to have all you crazy peeps to talk to :lol:

To the person whom I interrupted his "relations" at the motel I was working at. In my defence I was told the room was empty and by no means meant to interrupt your rush hour romance. I'm sure it must have been hard for you since you repeated 4 times that I had really bad timing. I hope my interruption didnt hinder your happy hour too much

Couple months ago a person the wife grew up with was on the show. It's a shame to see people in such a low state of life

[The Grizz]

My wife says I need an intervention for buying tanks :surprise:

[Nano]

It's definitely sad, they guy isn't exactly unknown in town, nor are his kids they play hockey in the peewee program so they'be been in the paper before. It's unfortunate what drugs/alcohol can do to people.

Hope all turns out well for him. It's weird when you see someone from your own backyard on shows like that.

Even a chick on the bachelor was from wetaskiwin mind you she didn't survive the first cut, but its still weird to see, like what are the odds? :P

[reefgirl189]

Poor kiddos sick. So stuffed up her nose is running faster then my return pump.... I read online that people put baby Vicks on their feet then put socks over it and its supposed to fix the issue within 5 minutes.. well 2 hours later no improvement.. called health link Alberta, they said to use a Vicks humidifier, but to monitor her through the night... Off to Walmart I go, luckily its open 24/7 right now... I've been up since 2:30am but mammas sick so its up to dadda tonight to keep this little one comfy, poor bugger can't even nurse cause she can't breathe through her nose.. I just wish I could make her feel better... :( poor little Ava..

Have you tried hydrasense (aka saline solution)? I've had very good luck with it in the past when my son was congested. Nursing a congested baby is hell. If you don't want to run out and buy hydrasense there are plenty of recipes to make it online however it must be used within 3 days or so.

[Nano]

Yeah we tried that too. The vaporizer did the trick though or maybr it was the Vicks on the feet lol. But now I'm sick so its their turn to baby me :P

If only i had known earlier that to be a physician would be extremely difficult.i would have never gone to Med school:cry: my brother lied to me:cry:

Its not for everyone. I tried it out, hated my peers and the sudden onset of snobbery that came with acceptance. I would regret never having tried it, but certainly do not regret for a moment leaving it behind.

Right. Post count is often looked at by new members as a way to gauge experience of the poster giving advice. So we've removed the post padding posts from the total count. Buy/sell posts as well. Giving it a try. If it's dumb, we can turn it back on and refresh count, returning all the previous numbers. But some people here have a billion posts and nothing important to say, or very little experience. I thought it was a good idea. We'll see :)

I understand the post count = experience. Though I do see people who are still In first year and have more post than more experience numbers. I first used the date joined but now I have been here enough to know who's who and people I trust so to speak. I personally don't care about post count but I'm sure it serves its purpose

I do think you should take post away for people who quote a page of pics to say " nice" 😁

PLUS.. the person staying at my house, I have to pay $250 and all she is doing is letting my dogs out. she'll still be eating my food, using my electricty, t.v., laundry and such, won't clean a litter box even.... so frustrating...

Have you tried relabelling your home as a zoo? This way you could maybe ask for volunteers to come help out with animal research and things of that nature. Zoos bring in animal loving volunteers all the time.

That's ridiculous! When we lived in Fort McMurray I had a girl up the street drop in for $25 per day and she walked our dog too. Could you try asking a neighbour? I'd help out if I lived closer but my price tag as it stands would be higher that the quote you already have.
