Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

Well, we found out why the tank was on discount. Someone had had an accident with a spray gun involving, yes, glue. Superglue. That haziness on the inside glass has to be dealt with, or algae will make that its home. A razor blade helps, but isn't a total answer....

And large. I'm sore...and getting stiff...the forward sprawl onto the pavement is having its effect...you could figure. I fell, however, skater-fashion, ie, no stopping the fall, I'm going down---how to do this damaging the fewest parts of me. And as per the prior...

...are all going to help. The tank will get here between 9 and 3, we get Tim and Cheryl around 5, and we get it in, figure it out, and go to dinner... All will be well! Patty and Mike are driving clear up here from the Tri Cities and driving back the same night, bless...

...for the new tank. I tell you, this getting older is a bitch. 3 Advil, 2 pain patches, and the S-I belt...I need to shake this by tomorrow, but this is about as painful a thing as I've had in a while. It's just sciatica, which is a leg pain transferred from the...

I hadn't gotten an update from Roadrunner Freight in hours, so I finally, at 2pm on the day (today) it's supposed to be delivered, and that I have crew (Tim) to help--- called Roadrunner. Well, Rocket Rangers, it was interlined. Translation: Roadrunner doesn't have a...

I nabbed 7 spammers during morning coffee. And I've got 30 gallons of water ready. I'm now working on the next 30, which is half full. Rock is washed. Still hoping for sand. The name of the company shipping this tank, btw, is Aqua Vim. They're the only company doing...

This is a good time for it, because right now I'm planning the ending of the next book, and there's a lot going on I have to think about. While thinking, I can be doing useful things... like a) setting up the ro/di filter. I'm selling the old one. Anybody need a...

We are trying a new membership plugin, which will NOT let anybody post until I've approved the membership: this happens within 24 hours unless we're on the road or sick or having computer trouble. We don't know if we'll keep this...but it shows promise of cutting down...

The store thought they had my sand in, but didn't. It still ended up being great, because they had rocks. Wonderful rocks. I need some more rock, because this tank is bigger. And I need spires, because damsels love to chase one another around spires, which define...

a) today, I have to get a couple of new Rubbermaid Brute trash cans: they're ok for saltwater. b) a reliable gallon measure. I've got a lot of saltwater to mix. c) an appliance dolly. Jane and I aren't getting any younger, and we foresee more than one use for this...
