My question now is why does Coralfarmer have Tunze when you can clearly clone one for under 20 bucks? He must have alot of money to blow eh? lol..
I doubt Ill ever see the need to buy those over priced water spinners.
No doubting they are cool and do a nice job but whats the point when you can do this?
Ill use the money for a beer meister instead. Hey If I could get to work on a go cart Id do it though so dont use me as a judge lol..
Glad I got off my can and did this mod finally one worth pursuing.
Skimmers, calc reactors to much time too little results IMO. Ill buy one be done with it. THat way no guess works and instant gradification.
Somethings just arent worth the bench space to me I guess. I got crap spread out from one end to the other on it. Just what I need more projects. I say that then I take another on anyhow.
Im about to embark on a field trip back to this dudes house who sold me this steam jacket SS kettle and buy some more junk from him lol. His ole man has sheds full of crap its a junk mans wet dream lol...Im there hes moving and has to clear it out and get rid of it all so Its easy pickins. Ill be up to my eyeball soon in "had to have its"
I see piggie roasters and thinga-ma-jigs lying all around Id like to tear into lol...Im hopeless. I told the guy Ill be your dad in a few years if I dont start doing what my intentions are with this crap.
I saw a motor and propeller off a air boat laying in his junk yard Im goin after lol...How about a air boat hunt for some gators and a beer feuled Yee haaa ride? Sounds like a project I cant pass up lol... My buddys got the tubing bender and the Welder for the fab up just need a shell.....

He actually bought 2 then had to switch to the Bling Bling... It's all about names and brands with kids donchaknow.
I lived like a rockstar when I was his age too. Now life has slowed way down and being married with kids (grown kids) changes ones priorities from flash to boring necessity. I live the "crockpot gratification" lifestyle now (it will take some time to get there but it will be mighty tender n tasty when it do).
You get the airboat built and I be there! Beer, gas money, and the BBQ on wheels! Oh ya, I'll bring a couple bows and some chili (fart fuel) too.

I got a 1960's Tiger Cat Bear recurve bud been shooting since I was able to hold it. Shot 3d competions for years.
I can split a frog hair at 50 yrds. Beyond that my failing eyesight is working against me anymore. Corn puter took that away from me.
Lasik, is still an option though. We used to go shoot carp up in the lakes and give them to the indians. THey would turn and sell them for .50 /lb to a dog food company (Purina). Good times!
Sold my last compound 2 years ago to some wanna be who liked my set up. Another cheap old bear bow i had an over draw put on and some fancy sight I hated anyhow. Hurt my shoulder in a car accident and never liked the wheels and cams on it anyhow. Now i just shoot my stick and Im good.
If I go high tech again Ill opt for something modest Im not into the Rambo wanna be high tech crap. Most people buy them goofy looking things and cant hit the broad side of a slow moving train with it.
I liked my ole bear cuz It was simple and got good with it. Shot the hell out of it and I always liked showing up to a sanctioned event with my 89.00 bow and out shoot some boob with his $1000 Onieda tricked out with carbon fiber arrows and fancy sights. Not this guy Im a budget hunter. Killing is cheap if you know how to kill.
I took an 8 point white tail about 5 years back wiht that recurve. Thats my last deer and only deer taken with a recurve bow. That was the pinnacle of my hunting expierence. Awesome feeling!!!
I was proud as a sissy with a wheel barrow full of a##holes.

I have several bows and gave up competition about 10 years ago when I started this business. My fav is a custom takedown recurve 62" and 67# at 30" that I got from a very good friend in Michigan this year. The others are Bear Grizzly 60" and 48# at 30"and Bear Cub 36# at 27" and Howard Hill lemonwood stick that I wil never shoot because it's worth more than my life. My hunting rig is a Hoyt MagnaTec but I don't shoot all the new gadgets. I can still kick all but the best shooters asses in shootoffs and most can't shoot a stick or recurve to save their a$$es. Love it!
I took my first 6 deer with my Griz then 2 with gun then 29 with compound and finally back to thge recurve for the last 2. I do enjoy hunting period but shooting an animal with a gun is just so easy it makes me sick to my stomach. This fall I'll be hunting with my takedown, it'll be her first blood!

Yea thats what I had the Bear #60 same thing no Sh#t! Hey I gotta tell ya this I got home tonight and by the stroke of the all mightys powerful wand something amazing happened.
You know Ive told you about my dirt bag, freeloading, scum sucking, do nothing, cant work, wont work, welfare, mongering, spandex, wearing, cheap beer swilling, neighbors. Well I get out of my truck start to head for the door and I get a tap on my shoulder.
Here stands a dude about 7 ft tall 350lbs and a woman with a clip board right. Im like ok great whats for sale today?
Well come to find out its DCF. They want to ask me some questions about one of these scurge of the earth mofo's. So Its one of the real good ones too the trash talking fat momma with the SUV who periodically screams obsenities at the top of her lungs at her kids. Thats what they were asking me about.
The girl is like "have you ever heard the parents scream at the kids in profane language"? I got a beam of glee building in me about this time right. Paybacks a b#tch Im thinking to myself.
My response, "Boy have I ever"? Then I proceed to roll out the care and concern and gave these two an earfull. Before it was over 2 cops an SUV and a DCF care wagon all were pulling up to take out the trash!!
Man that felt good! I needed not lie or embelish since I wasnt the reason they came in the first place I was just confirming the facts they allready have and added a few for the record.
You know they say every dog has its day this dog had his today!
That was justice served right there. I got a 7 yr old who I dont even let outside when these people are out for fear she will have to witness these people in true scum bag fashion.
You got kids and you teach them to be polite and to have manners and heres this trash mouth fat POS out berating her little piglets to the world with no care for what shes says or respect for your young kids ears.
I might be an arrogant A$$hole in the eyes of many but Im a whole new animal when Im around kids. Mine or anyone elses. After all when they throw the dirt in your face thats all you left behind as your true legacy!
Ive seen this woman literall bring her 12yr old to tears berating him with curse words in their front yartd at the top of her lungs.
Id qoute but surely be thrown the U.A. again in my inbox and a stiff warning. I tell ya, that to me was better than money. For the kids sake, for evereyone else in the neighborhoods sake and most of all my daughters sake.
Now I gotta wait to see if they are gonna pull sojme crap wiht me thinking Im the one who called on them. My o my I hope they do!
One by one the block is starting to shape up or ship out. Amazing what happens when the law gets goin in the right direction isnt it?

Daaaaammmnnn One for the good guys eh? Schweet!
We have on in the hood that is from about the same trash DNA but he keeps to himself enough no to generate too much attention. He grows and sells dope so he likes to keep low key. They are on to him but aparently he hasn't led them to anyone important yet. One day they'll prolly kick the door down and drag him away, I bet his place goes up in flames to hide the evidence...
Welp, frags went out I got rid of a handful or 3 or xenia, and will be getting some ric's and favia in return. Now I'm off to bed so I can put in another 11 hrs. tomorrow.

Its yesterdays tomorrow again and here I am. Dope sellers in the hood eh?
Sure fire way to get rid of that is to keep calling the cops over there. You need not have a legitamate reason just say you heard screaming and wanted to see if everything was ok. Id do this whent heres abotu 10 cars parked out front.
Sooner or later he will go down. We had a brother with a tax free business operating in the nearby. They took him down at the local Outback with his product in the trunk havvent seen him since.
I got some lawyer friends Ive known since highschool everyone of them will tell you there is no such thing as a rich drug dealer. They are rich for 1-2 maybe 3-5 years after that they get popped and everything they spent their bling on becomes states property and they are selling everything else to pay the lawyers to stay out of the pen.
This one guy I know has a safe in his office, its full of jewelry. Hes ahd grandmothers giving him their wedding rings to bail out the drug dealing grandson. He take it all if its worth anything its currency to him.

Ya, I was talking with another neighbor about our boy last week and told him that harvest season was upon us and we'd certainly styart seeing the steam of vehicles in for 10 min. and out very soon. The sheriff-copter has flown the area a few times lately sniffing around so I think they know what's up. Maybe they're just seeing if he runs like a cockroach or is stupid enough to stay out on the counter... LOL
My corp. lawyer has partners what do criminal law and I've heard all kinds of stories from offers of sexual favors to signing over titles and deeds as payment to keep loved ones out of the slam. Makes me glad I'm not a criminal... Bling is whack anyway!

I had reservation of pulling down the tailgate and wathcing the show with the family as they hauled out the trash after all they had brought out the family to gauk at my wife when the cop hit her in our driveway.
You would have thought we were having a free ice cream social when that happened. That would have been irony at its best but I couldnt sink to their level. Told the wife grab the binoc's a cold one and whip up a bag of popcorn lets go get some lawn chairs and watch the show lol...Got the eye roll of course lol...
Im glad I got to confirm that thought that made me feel pretty dam good.
Unfortunately, it wont do much good or good for long. They will be back in short order I have no faith in the system when it comes to DCF here. Abuse is so wide spread here they cant keep up with it. Just took some people down because htey had no running water and were bathing the kids in a pond in this county.
THey took the kids away for 1 yr after that they can petition the state for them back. This incident wasnt that severe so Im sure they will be right back and up to their same deeds but wiser for their actions next time.
I keep telling my wife Scum never leaves it just spreads and so far Ive been right. Oh well. At least if they get out of line I know where to hit them to make it hurt the most. Sad part is they probably dont care one way or another if the state take the kids anyhow. Scum is scum.

ok i got flow like a cycloned in my tank now. maxi mods complete and they work too well. Spruced up the water quality quite nicely i might add.
Sheesh looked like a turd storm once I plugged those babies in and let em rip. took about 3 hours for the crap to get all sucked into the filters but its crystal and fish seem rejuvinated by the whole flow storm in there. Cant really expect much better results. Have to do a H2o change tonight and everything should be tip top. Even jumped up my skimmer pump to keep up with the solids flying about. Its just awesome. I went from a Mag 7 to a Quiet one 5000 lol...That cavetated my pump with the cheap venturi nozzle they gave me with this Natilus Skimmer I have so I ditched and made my own custom venturi out of some misc PVC parts and a 5/16 hose barb. Doing that increased my air intake hose size which stopped the cavetation and now the whole column is pure white with the finest buibbles Ive ever seen. Scum came just rollin out, it was pretty.
THen I kept sucking too much water obviuosly because I just doubled the GPH with super high head pressure so I had to modify the skimmer water level adjustment tube so I wouldnt starve out the return pump. Now I got a super skimmer and a hog of a pump. Super flow Dude just in doing that little bit my corals look 10 x's better. THey brightened right up fish all happy. Hey lets face it when the fish are happy Im happy.
Im gonna do one more mod and thats drill the return just ordered the Diamond hole saw for a 1 1/2 in bulk head return and a strainer. Once thats done Im done well maybe build a new stand down the road but lets not put the cart before the horse here lol.
I got a HH4000 Quiet one for a new return pump to install after the return is in too just to keep everything going smooth and quiet. That new skimmer ventrui sounds like a 6 yr old sucking the bottom of a slurpee from super big gulp lol...I love it lol..I was throttling it back trying to keep it from drying up the one half of my sump then I was like what the hell am I doin here lets run her full bore Scotty! Been goin all night have to see the fine scum its made tonight. Been along time since i spent a whole day on that tank.
Hurricane coming probably get a lightning strike and wipe out my new pumps. Thats happened already opn an old mag I was using at the time. Oh yea. No stores open for a week and no return pump tobe had. Now I keep spares. Cant keep a good man down I say. I hand baild that SOB for 3 days and used a pump on a drill afor alittle while. THat was hell!
Im good this year. Bring it on! I got booze, BBQ and all the fixins. My house will look like Vegas if the juice goes out. I love it.
Ive been waiting for this hurricane like a wild man. Get my gear out and dust it off. Big daddy needs some free drinking days!

You brag alot don't you? LOL Are you related to Ryan? LMFAO
Well, I'm hoping you guys don't get beat up too bad this year but I'm not closed minded about global warming so I know weather will just keep getting more and more extreme for the handle and gulf coast. Realestate values will drop to pennies and the rest of us will have to deal with refugees! Time for Soylent Green! LOL

Lol. Bragging is my right I earned it lol.. These little storms arent squat. You talk to the old timers here they will tell you these stroms are normal. Just correct weather the way it used to be back in the day. 20 year cycles. I have no idea but they foam at the mouth for a hurricane to have something to get amped up over.
You cant get homeowners insurance here right now its locked out.
I tend to believe just the opposite as far as Real Estate going to pennies.
Florida is in a transition period with real estate. It will become just like CA. Look how much disaster they have had and whats happened to Real estate. Its just gone thru the roof.
I say the more disaster the better for real estate. It drives the poor out and the real estate gets sold off to developers who build new higher dollar homes on it.
Its sad but its true. Take into account the cost of building materials, impact fees, you can hardly find a home here for under $250 grand as it is unless you go to a double wide. Couple good hurricanes dont bother me. Keep that plywood in high demand I say.
The coastline thats for the rich anyhow they can absorb the loss and it serves you right for building 20 feet from the water when it takes your house and washes it into the drink.
Just like cali and the folks who built mansions on a hillside and it got washed down the mountain. Hey your the boob who built on a hill now cough up the cash to rebuild.
Floods here are common Ill say that but do your homework. You trust a developer to build ouitside a flood plane without doin your own research before you plunk down a wad of your bread to buy his rickety shack your a fool. I took soil samples myself and had them analyzed. No flood in my sub for over 100 years.. I also talked to the old timers who used to hunt my land back in the 20's.
Oh the shady developer will try and hide the water too dont kid yourself. We got a small lake by me they dumped nice white sand along the edges to hide the waters true edge. I took a shovel over there and dug down about a foot til I hit black dirt. Kept backing up til I hit plain sand. That was about 30 feet further up fromthe waters edge the true waters edge. People take others for honest you cant be that way or you get what you get.
Developers are in the game for one reason cash. They want your money. I like the signs though "Building communities for a brighter future" PLEEZ. How about the truth "raping the landscape so we can make a buck". If they really cared they would enforce the enviromental laws but hey its big business and your a worker bee so suck it up and get workin.

Don't hold back, tell us how you REALLY feel! LOL You sound like you could be my brother. Scary Dude! Scary! Theres one thing yoiu missed in your equation tho. First mother nature wipes the slate clean, then property values drop to squat, then the cash whales buy it up for pennies, THEN the price goes up (because the whales control the interest and tax rates and flow of cash locally, regionally, nationally, and even globally). What most folks see is bust, followed by boom. Noone sees what happens to the rats and roaches nor do they care because they are removed from it or muchroomed (kept in the dark and fed BS).
I have to disagree with the 20 year weather pattern, that's just a load of hooey like gravitational pull because the earth simply sucks! Man, I kill me!!!!!

LMFAO, your right on the pennies on the dollar deal. Heres my whole take,
The rich have all the money pay little tax
The middle class has little money and pays most of the tax
and the poor are there to keep the middle class scared....Now the weather hell its the weather who cares you cant change it anyhow so live with it. Didnt move to FL and expect the hurricanes to stop for me anyhow. Whatcha got is a bunch of sissys afraid of some bad wheather who glorify a few rain drops like its the end of the world trying toget the public stirred up enough to go soend some money on supplies that arent gonna do them any good anyhow.
I like this one Look at Katrina, yea look at it...It broke thru a levy that was supposed to be kept up with the publics tax money and wasnt. Is it any wonder it caused so much damage?
Its a shame but look all the way into the disaster and see htat the housing was sticks in a high wind code area and the local building codes werent addressed when the development was booming. FL has block homes for a reason. Strict wind codes here. Ill bet you my $5 to your $50 they change now.
I get ticked when they play that crap on the boob tube over and over its scare tactics. You would have to see how they make you start paying cash for everything when the mad rush is on. No checks, no visa no MC cash only. Whats that all about eh? Ill tell ya Im 100 yards from a lumber store 81 lumber the line for plywood was a mile long and it was first come first serve and cahs on the barrel or no sale. Gas stations, premium only and cash only, Publix cash only mysteriously the hurricanes hadnt even hit yet but the Debit m,achines were all Outter Order. Its all about the money.
Its the ignorrant ones that get caught with their guard sdown and I take that just like anything else in the world "Natural Selection". If you cant afford to prepare then surely you can afford to leave!! Just had a old dude on the boob tube last night West Palm resident spanish tile on his crib torn off looks like about oh 500k min. type house roof leaks like a sive and he got no ins cuz he paid cash so hes just tarping it up. Hey how about you do what Id have to do and take some equity and go back to work bub. I feel for ya! He wants charity to come fix his spanish tile roof lol....The nerve.

I'm prepared and I'm armed. If you aren't I'm taking your stuff! Anarchy and marshall law! I told my neighbor that once and he looked at me as if I killed a puppy with a club. Funny how so many people drift thru life without a clue... She the Chit his the fan very few are capable of taking care of themselves and their families. What's mineis mine and what's yours wil soon be mine unless you can take me out first! An my wife thinks I'm crazy to keep so much ammo... I'm not paranoid, just decisive!
LMAO
Ammo is like toilet paper you dont realize how much you need it til you need it.
I keep an ample supply but ample to me is excessive to others. Im pretty excessive in just about everything in fact. Probably to the point of obsessive compulsive.
As Ive said before some buy a slurpee and others own the machine lol....... thats me in a nut shell.
We keep an array of firearms abreast at all times. After all it is my right. B&E me and Ill put you out of your misery no problem, and send the bill for the bullet to your kin and have beer and pizza before the cops come.
Guns are good. People are bad. Thats my prolific statment for the day. Im looking to purchase a new firearm this year in fact.
Were getting or trying to get together a mule deer hunt and I got no weapon that fits the bill for that long shot. Well I do but its the story Im tellin the wife to push the issue lol...

I have a .270 Remington Model 760 (no not a 7600) All but brand new with high grade bluing and stock w/ monte carlo and weave chackering (if you've ever seen it) I've had for 15 years and shot twice. I really have no need for a rifle and only bought it because I thought you needed one to kill a bear. It's accurate to 2" in 300 yds. I'd let it go for $350 (scope not included, I'm gonna put it on the .17 I won this spring). Just let me know if you're interested. I can give you all the info and pics you'd need.
I agree with B&E but that isn't something that happens in my area. That element doesn't mess around in cow country because we all keep an eye out and shoot forst and ask questions later. The last burglery rash we had ended in the crook being chewed up by a guys German Shepard then shot with a 12 ga. Needless to say the ******* (certain ethnic who should have stayed in da hood) went to prison and prolly learned his lesson. Last week a guy got beaten down by a woman and her daughter when he tried to break-in to their apartment. they showed himon the news all swollen and bruides... I laughed my a$$ off....

I laughed my a$$ off....Hmm .270 sounds good is it the gamemaster? Id be REAL interested in that. Got any pics? I believe and I'll look it up here in a bit online...thats a pump?
I believe in the shoot first ask later ideology as well. You gotta consider I moved here from Detroit.
We just did things differnt up there. Here they may bring a knife to a gun fight which is a grave mistake.
I got into an altercation here already. Ive been robbed back home on I-94 in downtown ghetto Detroit by 4 dudes with guns on payday. Truck broke down on my way home from a job. Well here they came all 4, hoods drawn tight took me for every penny.
Well next day bought a 9 mm. I hated that 9mm cuz there was the remote chance I wouldnt get enough lead in the bastards to kill them so I off'd it for a .45. Then I moved here.
heres the whole story. Goin to my LFS some crack head dirtbag comes up to me while im getting out of my car and asks me for money. I tell him I got none which I didnt cuz I dont carry cash anymore after I was robbed several years ago. Well he takes about 3 steps away turns right back around and pulls a blade on me tell mes to give him my wallet. Well the one day I dont have my piece with me I grabbed the next best thing.... Tire iron.
I happend to have the jack bar on the passenger floor of my Volvo. So I told him "OK let me get my wallet" I reached in grabbed the tire iron and whacked him in the knee cap and down he went. Then I got out and proceeded to kick him repeatedly til he was begging for me to stop. At this point the LFS employees and half the rest of the strip mall were watching me beat this man within a fraction of his miserable existance.
I had one more whack with the tire iron between the eyes and he would have been mulch at the cemetary. I think it was divine intervention that held my arm back from taking that last swing cuz I had it drawn back and my arm was seized in that position and shaking and I backed away.
The story played out as he was the victim as he was of the ethnic variety and Im a caucasian.. However, the plot thickened when they found his bag of stolen merchandise, a key from Office max for the display cabinet that holds the fancy calculators, his knife, and the LFS said he was pandering thier customers for money for awhile.
I got off with a stiff warning from the local cops who said to do nothing and not file a report cuz he could flip the table on me and say I attacked him because of no witnesses to him trying to rob me he could say self defense. They had him for loitering, felony larceny, retail theft, soliciting without a permit, under the influence of narcotics, posession of drug paraphanalia, probation violation, and he was a repeat offender. So I figured he got what he desreved and oh yea he went to the hospital with a shattered knee cap, bloody eye and I may or may not have knocked a tooth out.
I got 50% discount that day at the LFS and I now am on a first name basis with the owners lol....
Had I brought my .45 with me that day..mmmm good chance Id have killed him were he stood. He was high on something eyes blood shot speach slurred, and smelled like he ****ed his pants 2 weeks ago. I had no problem taking him down and doing the Detroit stomp on him. I was virtually un opposed to beating him.
I always carry, that day I was wearing shorts and didnt want to wear a long shirt to conceal but he is the lucky hes still breathing.
Cops even came up to me weapons drawn cuz they somehow knew i had a CCW. Lieutenant asked me why I wasnt carrying and I just told him Its his lucky day I guess. A knife drawn is a death sentence here. You can legally kill them from 20 yards thats lawfull self defense. He was 3 feet from me knife drawn lol...
