Theres no room for the house in my plans lol. I see you have a couple Nano tanks. What do you keep in them? Im setting up a kiddie tank for my daughters room. Some tertas or something in there for her to mess with. When she gets alittle older I'll turn it into a nano. Eitheir hers if shes still interested or mine when shes lost interest. If not a mixing tank for the big boy tank.
Lol.... this guy selling his 300 gal in GA says he could have put a kid through grad school for 2 years on what hes spent over 30 years lol..Isnt that the truth..Im just getting into the big bucks.
Funny the pics show a bed room 96" long tank against the wall and the equipment room on the otherside looks like a tattered old garage. The garage needs a paint job, bed needs to be made, but the tank is perfect big old 80 in. skimmer top of the line equipment lol... I love it. Like living in a mobile home and driving a caddy to work at McDonalds lol...
I can just see this guy in my mind eating pork and beans bed side no TV just staring at his tank wondering why hes eating pork and beans lol...

I have one nano (12 gal JBJ heavily modified) with plans on another to be mounted on either side of the 120 when I get the time, money, and energy to build the new stand. All Monti with up scale zoo's and shrooms in one and Acro's with a clam or 2 in the other. 1 or 2 gobies in each. Center tanks will remain as is with new fish (I'll keep the gobies and blennies and replace the tangs and clowns with anthia and more gobies. I love gobies and they don't punk out other fish!
That guy who drives a pimp daddy car and lives in a shack lives about 10 min. from me. LOL It used to be the guy in a broken down trailer with a 100' CB tower and satellite dish driving a shiny new 4X4 pickup. There's a guy who lives about 3 miles from me toward town. Lives in a small house built in the 50's (nothing has ever been updated including the roof) and has a yellow Hummer H2 that sits out 24/7 because his garage is collapsed. Grass is about 3' tall and has 3 dogs tied to one box.
Cops flew over yerserday afternoon at treetop level (I waved at the pilot) in a sheriff's helicopter. We think one of the neighbors has been growing dope and they've been watching him. I figure they know what's up but need evidence. Whenthey find his plants he'll be toast! Normally I wouldn't care but the guy is a pig and everyone thinks he molests his kids and beats his wife so we'd all like to see him gone. And you thought the only trash lived in Fla. in trailer parks... LOL

Lol. Oh trash is unilaterally and evenly dispersed throughout the lower 48.
The dopers here usually get caught growing in a trailor. Typical headlines are something along this line "2500 pot plants found in Volusia county trailor park" ect ect ect... lol... we had a Meth lab in my neighborhood busted about 2 months ago. I got a notion theres another bust coming soon to the feller with the new Mercedes who dont ever leave for work. Its his 4th car over 40k in 4 years and hes a young chap. Eithier hes cracked the mystery on how to make 250k grand in 4 years without leaving his house, won the lottery, inherited over a million and got on the frequent automobile purchase program or hes running the good stuff. Then my local gym clued me into him harrassing the pretty girls and called the boys on him where as later I found hes from Detroit and has a record for drugs there and everything he has here is in grannies name.. Hmmmm? Likes to slow down with the windows down and oogle my ole lady. Just 1 oogle away from my foot in his ***..
I have confidence justice will take care of him in short order since the women at my local gym are all married to local cops or sheriff dep's. lol....hes clueless. Typical boy from the hood in middle suburbia. Looking around me its all typical families 2.5 kids a dog and suv's. Then theres this guy Mercededs 500 SL with bling bling rims and kickers blastin out profanity rolling on 20 in low profiles lol...Sticking out like a sore thumb. Not just that but the Escalade to back it up in the drive on its own bling bling rims and all tricked out ghetto style. Just a matter of time for him.

Sing-Sing Bling (orange jumper and handcuffs). Ya, the homeys and wiggers in town sell the crack and meth and coke and drive the Merc, Bimmers, Vettes, Caddy's all frigging ghetto'd out! I want one of them to follow me off-road once.... LOL
My daughter called about 10:00 and said the cop chopper was buzzin' the trees again today. I bet they're lookin' for his plants before he gets a chance to harvest. I hope they nail him and confiscate his property. Then condemn it and burn it! Nice guy I am eh? Friggin' sore on an otherwise quiet hood. He does mind his own but come Oct. there will be 20-30 cars in and out of his place daily. I should go on walk-about with the dog, GPS, and the .45 lookin' fer his crops. Then I can give the cops the proper locations so they don't spook himoff! Normally I'd keep out of it but this loser has atleast messed with his oldest daughter who split on her 18th. B'day (same age as my youngest). And he has 2 other young girls and a boy which concerns me somewhat. We don't need that crap in the hood....

Just as well our SUV needs new tires anyhow. I got the Firestone/Bridgeston newbies on there when they did the recall they put some Mitchelins on now thse are about shot so I get one for free at least and a 4 wheel alignment. Body damage is another issue. Guess he did his cop cruiser pretty good wife said it was worse for the wear in the whole thing. No puch bar on it. Took out the R.F. corner lol....
First accident my wifes ever been in that I didnt cause lol...Be years ago 4th of July I totaled her brand new Cavalier in St. Pete. Street crew was working on the 4 way lights and had them green in 2 directions and yep you guessed it WHAM broadsided a Ford Ranger. He drove away I was airbags and puking fluids. No one hurt thank god.
I saw it coming put down the stomp and skid into the guy. Antilocks kept me goin and He ended up on top of our roof. Our car as screwed as it was was still running so I just put it in reverse and let him down right back into the road nice nad easy and then kachunk kachunk dead.

I'm not even gonna mention accidents, lets just say I've been in and seen enough to last me a lifetime. One on a bike almost dirt napped me. Airbags suck! they save lives but DAMN do they hurt!
I saw a good'n lastnight on the way home from work. A new Cobalt, cut-off a pickup.. pickup won! the Cobalt did a 270 crossed 2 lanes, went thru 30 ft. of median, did another 180 while crossing the other 2 lanes (oncoming traffic) and dissapeared into a DEEP ditch. The truck had a small ding in the bumper and front driver fender and the Cobalt got a nice bump u the rear passenger plut and ditch bath! Noone was hurt but the ckick in the Cobalt was freaked! the guy in the truck daid he had her radio blastin some rap chit and she was wearing some bling blue tooth friggin' cell phone too. Cops were there in 2 min. and we wouldn't let her out of the car till an ambulance got there. Sweet!
2-3 months ago a kid was killed by a drunk piece of crap with 12 DUI's and 2 pending. 12 DUI's and he's still driving.... ***?

Well long and short of it is after looking the damage over about $700 to me. Cop hit my wife she got the ticket for an illeagal LH turn in my drive way. t-boned her in the right rear no skid marks.
My wife up til yesterday had a perfect driving record.
Cop called his supervisor who then called his buddy who works for Florida Highway Patrol who took one look wrote her a $120 ticket.
They did a high five told my wife she was on a cell phone even though she works from home and dont own one. I get to suck it all up and pay for everything. Now shes sits at home with my daughter no vehicle til I can get it fixed he gets nothing.
Cops down here are so crooked you cant believe it. First of all they pay them like crap starting wage is $11/hr so you get a bunch of punk kids who think they are vigilantes with a badge. This guy was born in 1981 if that gives you an idea. His FHP buddy looked like he started shaving yesterday. If we fight it I and lose I gotta get a babay sitter, she take another day off work to fight it and assuming she wins i haveto go after Orange Co. for the bill. Sometimes you have to weight the hassle factor.
No doubt it was his fault. She was 3/4 of the way into her turn when he hit her. Even if she was doing an illegal turn he was on the wrong side of the street and should have yielded to her turn.

Fugitaboutit.... You'll lose! He'll claim anything he wants and will be believed over Jesus Christ himself! I got a ticket for 81 in a 55 when I was 16. I was driving my dads 77 Chevy pickup. 250 straight 6 with 3 on the tree and the linkage was jammed in second gear. The truck would barely do 50, down hill in seconda gear at the redline. I pled not guilty... 2 weeks later I was in court and so was the cop. i had a lawyer, he had 4.... I lost and had to pay the fine, lose my license, and pay court costs. When cops get busted for DUI's around here I laugh my a$$ off. From town to town cops will drop the hammer on each other like Jews and Palistinians... 
Yea I kinda figured the same thing. The judge is the cops brother in law or who knows. Just as corrupt as the cop is. I just chalk it up to I need to move. Been thinking about it for a year now anyway. Im gonna commit to something soon enough. I started what I like to refer as "Scorched Earth" I bought my house brand new did thousands in ladscape put in nice trees and decorative rock borders and all. Ive probably spent a good 10k on my yard. Taking it all out. Diggin up the Magnolia trees and the crape Myrtles potting them taking all of it with me. It just doesnt add to the value enough to make up for the gain in equity and I dont want to over value an under valued property to my loss for these animals that live around me.
So I get to keep all the materials trees and the value wont be lost regardless. To the would be buyer they wont know the difference anyhow. If I was staying there Id reap the equity out of my labor but screw it. Ill put it all in storage come back and get it for my next house. I tiered off my backyard with wall blocks making natural steps to the tune of about 1000 blocks at 3.50 each and my labor. All gone. Taking it all out raking it flat stacking and removing. My neighbors are scum they should be lucky to have a working man living there. They all live off of some govt. hind tit.
The little bit I might lose will be easily absorbed in the equity it adds to another house down the road. My wife thinks Im nuts of course but you should see the other houses around me. Mine sticks out like a sore thumb. I have 10 x's the landscaoing they do. Id be willing to bet someone would come in and not keep up with it anyhow and it would all turn to dog dirt.
Property here exploded for about 5 years I gained a good chunk of equity. enough in fact I can easily buy new bigger and with more land and almost have 0 house payment. I think I should start thingking about that more seriously. wife has a job no matter where we go. Me, I could be a stay at home daddy but my ambition wont allow me to do it.
Let thte animals devalue each other til its a sess pool. Big Orlando is moving in here anyhow 5000 new homes coming in everyone qaulifies. Rentals and short timers make your hood turn sour in a hurry.. .25 acre lots creat bad neighbors. No education, welfare moms, divorcees, and bashtions of non-spreakers all clammering for a roof next to yours. Its socialism in real estate if there ever was such a thing. Home owners Assoc. telling you what you can do to your house down tot he mail box and its color.. Not enforcment of those reg. even though you pay thru the nose. Just getting tired of the B.S..
All that and sh$tty neighbors to boot pushing me out. Now the cop B.S. Think my ole lady buys in 100% now. Ive been waiting for this day to split. Capitalize on the equity move to rural and do it all over agian. Kids school is over crowded. So theybuild new school but build 5000 more houses. Never ends here til ts scum all over. Then they move on and do it again. Nice to stay above the curve. No house payment and cash in hand is nice.

I was raised on a farm. Married a city girl. She cant live outside of the Wal-mart district. Shes ready too now I think. Only took me 20 years to get it in her head.
The above mentioned reasons and my constant badgering of my hatred for the blacktop walking urbanites.
We like to go camping, fishing, canoeing and the outdoor life anyhow. Just be that much closer to it. Costa Rica or equivelant for the long plan, First things first gotta get me a good bird dog lol..
Tommorrow I start Operaton Scorched earth. Imn not leaving nothing for the animals not even a high efficency light bulb. It all goes.
I could be a real ***** and tear down my privacy fence on 3 sides and watch them watch me sweat and work in the yard. I bought it, its mine they reap the benefits. however thats a selling feature I cant loose so I gotta suck that up. Bad situation. Just have to minimize the fallout and do what I gotta do.
Probabaly end up in North Georgia Mountains. Not really sure just yet. Had offers up there to work pretty decent pay.
If I had my choice Id go to Minneapolis but wife wont go back to the snow. Im like yea but 10,000 lakes, birds galore, big deer big big deer!! Georgia has some decent size deer north west .

Same here, the wife iks a city girl and taken well the dirt roads and pistol practice. in the city they shoot each other, in the country we shoot cats, groundhogs and stumps... My shooting is quiet tho cuz I'm 99.999% archery with this fall going back to recurve for turkey then deer. Have fun rippin and tearin' as stated before I'd gladly comem over and watch (and drink your beer) if I lived in the same universe...LOL My Sadie girl is a good retriever and strong swimmer but definately qualifies as a flusher (or rush in and bark. She just hit 3yrs. and finally got a full head on her shoulders. I was doubting the puppy woul EVER leave her. When we put her big sis down a few weeks ago she did a 180 and is a completely different dog. Never had one about-face quite like this before. And I grew up with no less than 150 dogs from Shelties to Springers, to Gordons, to Weimers, to Dobe, Rot, Russian, Newfy, poodle, mastiff, labs, goldens, more labs, collies, aussies blah blah.... This'n tops the list on brains, luck, and flippers for feet. She all but comes up on plane when swimming for a target and never thinks twice about going under for a sinker. I need to get her ou in a blind this fall and give me an excuse to dig out one of the shotguns. Just never seem to have the time anymore.... Maybe I'll give up the reefing.... or NOT!
I hate to say it but if I had my choice of places to live Napa Cali. would be 5, Fiji 4, Kona 3, Costa Rica (or Dominica) 2, and Alaska 1. I've been to all but Kona but I really can't see it being any different from Fiji other than more touristy.....

Yea its tough to put down a good friend. I had two put our house cocker down. 16.5 years of his nub waggin gets into ya. Had to put his buddy my Rot. down Hip displasia and a determination to be close to me despite his pain I had to make the call. Probably the hardest thing Ive ever done to date.
Been a good lag time between old friends might be time to get another. Thinking either German short hair or Yeller lab. Gun dog fer sure though. I like Weimers but they can be over hyper.. Ill let the new pad dictate what can run on it. Had a B. lab he was a tree marker more than a hunter typ. male. takes 2-3 years to break the pup out of a lab. After the chewin and the jumping they get down to business. These rednecks been trying to push a Catahoula leopard dog or some other coon hound off on me since I been here. Coon dog great just what I need lol. get me a 67 chevy step side a dog box and a worn down double barrel and Ill fit right in down here. Good set of uncle tom overalls and some hip boots lol...Oh and the nite light with helmet there I go. Maybe a bail of hay in the truck fer the hound to sleep on too.

Hawwww!!!!! Git-R-Done!!!!!! Coon hounds are for coon hunters and that'ain't huntin' as far as I'm concerned. A great gun and alcohol sport yes! Huntin'? No! Every gun dog I've ever had was fixed at 6 mo. so none have ever been markers. Come to think of it, I've only ever had one male and he was a setter that was a spaz. My Lab is a Black female, just turned 3. She is of water dog and field trial champion stock but that just means she has potential (bloodlines are important but don't mean squat in the real world IMHO)
I took this Sunday after she was swimming with the kids all day.

Shes a good looking girl!! Our B. Lab was a full blood Block head male. We had grand notions of studding him so he got to keep his man hood. Never transpired and we ended up giving him to a farmer who hunted geese. I went to Germany and my wife came with so I had to get him settled into a new home.
When I got back to the states I brought a pure bred German Rottweiler pup back with me. He grew into a 200 lb. lap dog. My best of friends til the day he met his maker.
Named him Zain. Short for Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye) translated in the English pronountiation close as I could come up with.
Just went to look at some dogs today in fact all ankle biters nothing of interest.
Took a vaca. day to get my wifes truck fixed from the cop incident. So far Im into about $600 tires 4 wheel alignment, and a center cap, ect. They gave my wife the ticket even though she wasnt at fault which negates them from a lawsuit. Nothing we can do about it.
Basically, Im screwed. Only thing we can do is fight the ticket which she plans to do. Worst case scenario is she has to pay the fine anyway. As far as the damages to out truck It needed tires anyhow so that was $500 right off the bat, and then the alignment was to check the rear independant sus. make sure he didnt throw that out f whack. Thent eh center cap was just a mess. Love it just absolutely love it. there goes my new Skimmer poof! Oh well, everybody has an extra "G" to throw down the tubes right? lol.
Got to spend the day with my daughter and look at puppies all day so I guess its not all doom and gloom. Lol if it was up to her Id have a lizard, a snake, a trantula, some more fish, about 6 puppies and 3 kittens. Im like how about we get the fish some differnt fish food? lol....Scowl.. I think we will get the dog for her B-day and kill 2 birds to her suprise.
They did have a b. Lab male there about 6 mo. old poor guy looked like he keeps getting shuffled to the end of the buy me line hes so big.

"Off Veerdersay'n" in English LOL..... funny, my wife asked me lastnight what that meant on that stupid dodge commercial. I told her "later ******* Americans" LOL She fell for it till i fessed up and tole her is was more like "have a nice day". Blondes are so gullible!
Ya, did you ask the cop for a kiss? I'd do that in court after the judge sides with the cops. Just say "Next time I expect a kiss before you screw my wife"... A local cop hit an killed a young girl here Wed. afternoon. He aparently took off out of a gas station lot without looking and ran over a girl on the pedestrian walk. The loser claimed he was responding to an emergency call yet he han no lights or siren on. There were like 4 witnesses that saw it all but all the cops including the dispatcher are backing him. He lives in the same community and yesterday there was a protest and they all want to lynch the guy... I bet he moves eh? Cops suck! Even mu buddies who are cops **** me off!
Well, good luck with fixing the yuppy wagon (ya, I think SUV's are all but worthless). Expept for the original cruiser...

Well a slight twist to the whole thing. My wife knows a woman who goes to church with the Leiutanant of the OPD. She told him what happened and they got to talking about it. Come to find out they arent allowed to take cars home anymore unless they are of high rank this is due to the rise in gas prices. Well guess what hes not taking the cruiser home anymore lol...
Lost his little perky. Cops in general will stick together right wrong or indiffernt. Cant say as I blame them for that because they do have to deal witht he scum of the earth daily. However its a matter of moral character to be able to stand up and be a man.
Ill be the one who says that theres only 2 reason a person becomes a cop. 1) they are too lazy to work 2) they're to afraid to steal. The young cop is the worst one. 9 times out of 10 they think they are super cop even though they got no education, no ambition to get any the best they can do in life is harrass the working class on their way to make a living. For these guys I have no respect. the veteran cop who maintains a sense of pride in his job gives a fair shake to the public and just does his job I can take my hat off. However there far and few between.
I got a problem with the tasers they carry now too.
They carry pepper spray just as effective less lethal less painfull and they didnt need it for 200 years before now. Just makes for a markless torture device they can abuse on the public.
Suv's worthless, well for the modern staion wagon there is no alternatives so what are your options really. Id own a Vette convertible but they cost too much and she would just get hit by a cop anyhow :lol: . As long as shes content in the yuppy wagon thats all that matters. Shes owned a Mustang, a Cavalier, a Grand Prix, a Sunbird, Volvo 960, a BMW 325I, and now this Explorer since we been together. Id say she likes this thing the best. She can haul a bunch of brats all over with it and thats what she wanted so I cant complain. Ive owned my share too, P-ups, go fast Mustangs, Volvo 940 turbo, Nova's, Had a 72 Catalina, Dodge Dart w/340, Coronet with 440 Max Wedge, s-10 Blazer 4x4, Beretta GT, Ford F-100 3 on the tree, Lincoln T.C., EXP, The list goes on I look back and think wow I turned over some steel in my day lol....Oh yea I had 2 ford Granadas too forgot about those lol...I rolled one in a ditch and drove it home lol.. other one I blew the tranny in and sold it to some kid for beer money lol... Grand prix had a 400 big block I pulled out and rebuilt sold it running on a cradle to some hot rodder. The history lol...
Just want a plain jane now no fancy get a ticket car. Every one of those cars I mentioned I couldnt leave any of them alone I eithier yanked the motor and put something else in it or souped up the one it had or did something else to it stereo something. What a waste..... Im content with the stock junk now. I tint the windows thats about it.. Been there done that. My ole man been restoring cars and alike his whole life thats how I got into the whole thing. Ive sucked enough bondo dust and fiberglass to cough up a quarter panel.
Paint fumes probably killed my better senses too. Acrylic paint they have nowdays is lethal. Need a fresh air mask or you go down in the booth like a bag of rocks and dirt nap ya. Not like the old days with the Enamels you could get alittle whiff a cheap buzz and finish the job smilin. Now you get some in your pours your a gonner. Need a full body suit and rebreather. Good stuff though excelent paint to work with. Pricey but great coating.

Suv's still suck.... Even if some chicks look hot in 'em!
Ah, the bondo and dura-glass... Yes, the pink snot I know so well. i build a 1962 VW into a fire breathing 12 sec. Z28 eating beast. back in the day. From start to finish I had 15 gal of duraglass and 10 of bondo hit the primer with 90% turning to powder. Nothing like a 1000 lb. VW Baja with a 2 liter turbo charged motor humiliating all but the pro drivers at the track. I'd dump the clutch and stall and still come back and smoke a lower ET than everyone in the class. Man, those were the days!
I still do some paint from time to time but stick with the old school enamel and reducer...
