Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Even sweeter, he got a painting kit of the Eiffel tower. He said he knows I want to go to Paris.

I never wanted to visit Paris. Never. I was on a business trip last year in India and on the way back I was trying to get a stop in Dublin but changing carriers wasn't cost effective for me. So I looked on the map to see where they did stop and Paris was one of them. Ok, why not.

Called up my friend in Dublin and said I can't make it, heading to Paris instead. He said great, meet me there. Cool. One of the best times I've had and it was totally unexpected. Met a lad I used to work with there and he took us out a couple times to the non tourist trap wine bars and had a blast. Thank God he could speak and read French because some of the things I was going to order...anyway - when it was all said and done can't wait to go back.

My heart was still sad I didn't get to Ireland last year but maybe this one...

Isn't that something like BRS? Or are you thinking brick and mortar type places...

Brick & mortar chain, like Hobby Lobby. Petco isn't cutting it here for me. But yes, I certainly can't complain about BRS, because probably 90% of my stuff comes from there. And the fact I won $500 in store credit from them a few months ago. Not complaining in the least.

I'm an architecture freak. Something about the details of old buildings makes me happy.

I can fully understand that. I'm glad I saw Notre Dame when I did. I don't take great pictures but here is one of the tower at night...

I might kinda love that kid just a little.

Maybe he is just buttering you up for a new car in 5-6 years.

He would love an older Porsche. He's my kid!

I did manage to get the manifold mounted before the mulch arrived. Now I just have to hook all of that stuff up to it. Pay no attention to the dust on the other stuff.

That is extremely cool!

@Fin that's exactly why I love learning from you guys.

I can't see the plumbing you speak of behind all that dust! ;Watching;Watching

Did you paint the white valve handle as well?

Just some PVC pipe and some fittings. It may leak.

This is going to sound bad, but I don't remember. Ha! I think they came that color though.

Ive made it to ireland. Been to Shannon twice. I was only in country for 20 he's all together.

 

[Katrina71]

Ireland is on my bucket list too.

They look similar to these....

I might just go with the Cepex valves cause you can't see under my stand atall so color matching isn't an issue but for the sump area and manifold I need something atleast paintable.

 

[sfin52]

Ahh now I see it!

Beaut!

10k really changed looks. You can't beat the growth

Only been there once. Then again I usually fly out of Dublin. My previous manager who I got along very well with once I changed groups he asked if he sends his children over could they stay with us and I said sure. Next time I went over that way he returned the favor and I sent mine to him. I met up with them a couple weeks later. I would work and they would be all over Ireland. Seemed to work ok. Only rule was no going up North unless we all went.

I enjoy it a lot but then again I have a lot of close friends and friend of our family.

All of France is not a place I want to go. The French military really killed that desire and listening how my Father in law talks about it.
Speaking of which he is a world traveler. France, England , Poland ,Germany, irleand, turkey,Kuwait, sadia Arabia, italy. The military was good to him.

 

[Katrina71]

Wonder what those folks across the pond would think of the word "y'all".

I was similar but in the end glad I went and really enjoyed it. For me my Military was all Pacific (S.Korea, Japan, Philippines, Guam, Thailand, etc). Still recall getting my first set of orders / assignment. Lad asked me where I wanted to go and I said preferably the West coast. He said sure, how about Okinawa. How is that for West....and I was like um, not even close What did I know at 19 though.
