:lol: :lmao: :lol:

Yeah, we tend to get side tracked over here from time to time..... :D

But I wish I had more to share!!!

John should be back from LA tomorrow night, and I should have my tank anywhere from Friday to early next week :D

Thanks for dropping in Rafael!
 
Jim,

So his junk went from the U-haul to the backyard and now made its way in the house?

Man, that was alot of garbage they were unloading.

The guy had about 20 pool lounge chairs alone:eek1: :lol:
 
Nope. Its not in my house. Nor will it ever be. But I still don't have room for the new 180, and my current tank inside.

BTW, everyone, the person who Davey keeps talking about (thanks D) is my roommate's (and good friend from high school) older, alcoholic brother, who happens to be on his third DUI and can no longer afford to support himself due to his loss of job and car. So being the kind person's we are, we have taken him in for the time being, and hopefully soon, he will be out of my life :) I have known him and his family since I was like 12, so its just one of those things. It goes to show you all out there how devastating alcohol can be, and if not kept in check, will ruin your life.

But now that we have that cleared up, lets just not talk about him anymore :)

Sometimes it sucks being a good person. :)

Got some current pics of the 125?

Yeah, thats the way it goes sometimes :)

Mike, I'll see what I can do.....
 
I know all about the affects of alcohol. Had to give up that life style. But unfortunely for him and most you have to do it on your terms. It's pretty sad, I'm sure he is a really good guy!!!

I have a garage Jim, Just let me know. We can cover it and everything.
 
Thanks D!

I'f need be, I'll take you up :D

I'm pretty sure John said he'd hold onto it until Monday or Tuesday, but if he can't, you'll be hearing from me :D
 
Mike, I'm still working on getting some pics, its been pretty crazy as of lately....

Mark... All I can say is AWE YEEEAH :strooper: :dance: :strooper:

Terry, you're right! No pics, no tank... yet ;)
 
wait! but Mark makes it seem like the tank is here!

WE WANT PICS!
WE WANT PICS!
WE WANT PICS!

:rollface:

Come on Mark, it's your chance to join me :D
 
:lol:

Yes, the tank is in Roseville at the shop I orderd it from. But I have no room for until Tuesday. I will pick it up then :)
 
Okay, I lied :lol:

The tank was built VERY well. I was actually surprised, as I expected a little less quality. The silicone is clean, no bubbles in the seams. The diamond polished edges turned out great and all the panels line up flush :D

got a lot more work to do now. I'm gonna order up a new RO/DI and pick up a chiller locally in the coming days.

Its all starting to come together!!!

Cheers,

Jim
 
Liar Liar, pants on fire! That's where you've been the past few hours! Looking good, Jim! When's it goin on the stand?
 
Hahaha

Yeah, actually the shop owner needed it out of his shop, so I really wasn't planning on picking it up tonight, but thats okay :)

I should have all the parts etc., I need by the weekend of the 18th. Hopefully by that Sunday or Monday it will be full.

My fiance is coming from Japan to stay with me the first week in May, so I want to have it all up and running before she gets here.
 
Jim got his tank :celeb1: Lets fill it with water.

And just today you were telling me that you haven't lost any sleep over the build. I wonder how you will sleep now that your new tank is in the garage. :lol2:
