Yes sir. Story of my life. I have to drive 2.5 hours each way to a good store. Sucks, so I normally just order everything online.

Been on the forum for probably 12 years or so. Very few of us down this way.

So mad at myself I cant stand it. Went to the store today during lunch and was feeling pressured to hurry. Left a bag at the store so had to run back, when I was leaving parking lot I was watching a mother and her child so I wouldn't hit them and I plowed straight back into a pole in my blind spot!!! Gawd I hate it!!! :mad::mad::mad:
What a dummy!! 8600 miles on the truck and I do something dumb like this. What a day..

And next year your rates will go up so they make that $3700 back within the next few years. ;Shifty

Happened to me when I did pretty much the same thing except I backed into the counterweight of a machine.

Nowadays it seems the slightest damage is several thousand dollars.

Tanks, stands and fish room are looking fantastic. Really some nice looking work.

Thank you, My thought was to try and get it right the 1st time around and not have build remorse

Oh, that’s good thinking. Looks like you’ve got it.

Got tired of refilling the cycle rock container so hooked up the ato for now:

I bought this several months ago from someone getting out of the hobby. Wish I spent more time researching and looking at stuff when I buy them.
This is the 3rd item I bought from someone that had something missing.
Tunez didnt have the feed hose or clamp (i took these from a new Tunez i bought for the other tank), Second was a Skimmer missing some small rubber plugs in the cap and 3rd is worst of all, I helped the guy pack up an Apex controller, trident and a GHL doser and we forgot to get all the plugs

Doors are waiting for my wife to get the final coat of paint on the trim.
My wife wont let me paint them

guess she feels like I'm gonna mess them up or something

Had to get some new paint on that left wall as well. Amazing what you can do in 30 min if you try hard

From this to:

Started to get the sumps in place last night. Took a bit to get the Trigger figured out and I have to do some modification on the 40 sump to allow access for the Klir fleece roller but not a bad start.
