Haha, starting to notice, but I think most of us are on here.. we procrastinate house hold chores, and other needed tasks for our tanks.
There are days my tank is an excuse to not get alot of other things done!

I think designers/ manufacturers should put a little handle on the side of the skimmer collection cup to help "pop" the cup off. Sometimes it could be pretty hard to pry off the body, IF you have smaller hands...
I tried too hard the other day and some of that really gross skim mate got spewed across my arm, hands, and sump. Yeech!!

It's funny how different we are when kids.
I saw dog poop on the living room and went to get stuff to clean it up, thinking "That damn dog, if he wasn't out side i'd put him there".
My 2 year old sees it and thinks "If i put on my boots i can step in this"
Turns out my 2 year old can put on his boots faster than i can gather cleaning supplies.

"Remember, remember
The fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot."
But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes, and I know that, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them; and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, it cannot feel pain, and it does not love. And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man. A man who made me remember the fifth of November. A man I will never forget.

playing a popular film, and filled 148 of its seats with
rough-looking, tattooed bikers, leaving only two free seats in the

I grew up in B.C. and learned how to drive in the snow and, when it happened, it was fun. Sometimes we don't get much here, and not enough for my liking but, I couldn't imagine a winter without some snow.
And so you know I respect snow...I spent a winter @ my Aunt's in Prince George where we had 13', yes I said 13 FEET of snow that covered the deck. Us kids tried to go into it from the basement but were stopped. Would have been a cool tunnel expedition (until we were crushed by the snow)

For the record, worked till past 5:30am went to bed at 6 and got a call from a fishie friend at 9:30am so I'm up and working on the dang computer again at 9:55am. Have to edit papers half asleep and out of focus because I DON'T dare put in my contacts so soon after taking them out.
So I finally got smarter than the Wrasse...now I feed the Trachy AFTER the Wrasse goes to sleep in the sand! Brilliant!

Can't sleep...mind won't shut down. I'm too excited about our new carpet and then our new Saltwater tank.
Went to bed @ midnight Tues, woke up @ 1:30. Fell asleep @ 6am, got up @ 11. Stayed up all day so I could sleep that night.
Went to bed @ midnight Wed, woke up @ 1:00. Took sleeping pill @ 4:30, fell asleep by 6am, was woke up @ 9:00 by BCA member.
Too excited about picking up new skimmer and pump...then bought RO unit. Went online to buy parts....now it's nearing 9pm and 6 beers.
Hope I sleep. This soon-to-come saltwater tank is gonna be the death of me :mrgreen:

OK, it's official.....as others have already stated, I'm nuts :lol:
We're putting in new carpet, it's nearly X-mas, I'm unemployed, and I have just spent over $1000 on gear for my up-coming FOWLER.
But hey, it is money that came from selling my Freshwater gear, so it's OK, right?
RIGHT? :loco:

In the last 2 months I have had 6 - 36+ hr days, not from excitement of new things and such but all work. So you still have a little catching up to do :lol:

I'm almost getting used to the short sleeps.
But it's showing on my face. Black circles and bags.
I just hope my heart stands up to it.
We're not as young as we used to be, right?
Oh well, at least the wife still loves me, right Donna? Donna?
Where the hell is she :biggrin:
God, I gotta find a new job. I'm goin' stir-crazy
If it wasn't for the new FOWLR project, I mighta gone bonkers

I have pulled more than one 27hr shift in the shop and then have put cutting wheels half-way through my boots.
I like my sleep

Ya, I'm posting again....
Goddamned Canada Post....
All they give you is 'Parcel arrived @ shipping' so-and-so, with no tracking stating where it is. Then the next is the arrival date.
Nothing in between.
What's the point of Canada Post Tracking ?

All this talk about not being able to sleep & guess what I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP DAMN IT!!!!
Well I guess this will make 7 - 36+ hr days in the last 2 months. :surprise:

I do the 36 hour once every 10 days with my work scedule and watching the kids, save money in daycare, but wow, takes a day or 2 to get over.

Even harder to recoup when you can't take a day to just veg out. Monday - Friday work to pay the bills, Saturday & Sunday work on the " honey to-do list ", work / play with the Huskies, acreage yard work ( all year round ), tank maintainance, work on other peoples tanks / stands. Just not enough hrs in the day.

Sleep deprivation is a normal state of affair for me. I haven't hit REM sleep in ages. Unfortunately, my students consider texting me at 4 or 5 in the morning to be ok. This time of year, no days off and minimal sleep is normal.
Yesterday, I was sooooo tired, I had an energy drink so I could finish the last few hours of editing work. Didn't help so I had a Red Bull. Finished very early, by 11:30am, but the Red Bull kicked in big time and I couldn't wind down until 6:30am. Then an unnamed fishie friend calls me at 10:30am. Awesome.
At least I used the time to change out my return pump, clean my skimmer, top off my ATO container, do some dosing, and clean the glass. Did more maintenance on Red Bull than I had time to do for the last few weeks.

Ya, sorry to wake you up @ 10:30am, but we did have plans :biggrin:
I'm suffering too. It's now 2:30am and I still can't sleep after 2 nights of 4hrs.
I also finished-off 12 beers. You'd think I could sleep.
I am now going to swill some cough medicine and a nitol.
Plus I will turn off the phone.
