First, the good! I went to the most popular LFS in town and met this handsome gentleman.
I mean, how could any girl resist a face like that?!?!
The guys there were super friendly and helpful and they had a great selection. They also had an adorable bulldog. I feel like having a shop dog is always a good sign!
The “bad:”
I’m struggling with my apartment’s fancy faucets and my RO/DI connectors. Not only do my bathroom sinks drain at a pace that can’t even be counted as slow, but the aerators are a little odd. I think I may have it figured out, though.
The UGLY…
My apartment had a package thief or thieves this summer who would steal packages from the “secure” package room. I only lost a couple of cheap packages, so they should be set for women’s deodorant for the year, but others lost some expensive items. The complex beefed up security and it seemed like the problem was over.
Until I had my Chewy’s order with salt and some filtration stuff delivered yesterday.
So, now the thief has plenty of deodorant and instant ocean. The management company has asked us to make police reports whenever anything is stolen now so hopefully they can catch the package bandit, so I dutifully called the non-emergency line and they sent out an hunky officer to take my report.
I joked that it’s unlikely that they’d be able to fence aquarium salt and filter media, but the cop said I might be surprised. With salt prices going up, I’m now picturing a black market smuggling ring for marine salt complete with dodgy alleyway trades. Something like Breaking Bad, except aquarium salt instead of meth.
Hopefully my information will help them catch someone, but even if they don’t get my salt back, I only ordered 50 gallons worth, so all told, I’m only out $59. Annoying, but not the end of the world.
I have a wave maker and more salt ordered through Amazon with pickup at an Amazon locker on Friday.
In the meantime, I saw THIS and got inspired!
It’s a custom aqua scape I saw online. I started thinking and I have a friend with a 3D printer, so I’m thinking I might get a skull 3D printed and integrate it into my rockscape! Once it encrusts, it should look pretty cool and be kind of hidden unless you’re looking for it.
