so I am still biding for the tunze pump with the single controller($113 U.S.) witch to me is a great deal if I can get it and nobody outbids me.I still have to go to the states to pick it up.I will probably go during New Years I will see.My cousins wife isn't feeling to good and she is very stressed so I may ask her to mail it to me and say its a gift.I will see.I went to the LFS today and they will receive a shipment on friday so I may go check out what they get.I know I keep running up debt I am nuts.I will probably ask my lod boss for my job back.(I am getting very bored at home)

I know how you feel sitting around doing nothing.
Are you looking for a job, considering the cost of this hobby? I need a better job, Oh yeah just got one
Put in an invoice yesterday and got paid today, Gotta love that. Too bad I'm not generous and buy you a calcium reactor though ah :lol:
Hows the tank going by the way. I would stick to the 2 part dosing system untill you can afford to but a calcium reactor. I'm betting you not working isn't easy on your better half.

Hey Dorthy I did some work at my in laws place so I was there most of yesterday,last night and today.Had a problem with a window.It was brand new and it broke during a very cold snowy day(bad install) so the radiant heater froze(old cast iron) it cracked and when the temp got a bit warmer the rad started to leak.Last night tried to get the janitor to close the water and shut down the heat to fix it but the bas tard wouldn't answer the door.So today I fixed the problem and everyone is happy.Its a good thing I worked as a plumber.I have another job offer(possibly in plumbing) I was HD and started talking to a renovation guy (who does everything) and I mentioned I am not working so I will call him.

:lol: around here, you can barely get a plumber to show up. I have several as customers and when I had a leak, even the one I was buddy-buddy with wouldn't come by. I offered him a case of beer as a bribe, and he just laughed. Here it seems, they just work enough to pay for going fishing.

Where I live, try getting a brick layer for the right price. Damn joke that a simple trade is charging out at double what I get, an my quals make them look useless,
Some are, but they still get paid, go figure.
Take the job mate, then you remember how grate you had it for a while :lol:

Yes I probably will.I have another offer from my wifes cousin.Her husband is a plumber and he wants to hire me so I will give him a call.He offered me a job about 2 years ago but I didn't take it because I felt guilty,my boss is my friend so he was very busy and he made me feel guilty for wanting to leave.I was stupid for not leaving.Live and learn its not good to work for friends.They take advantage of you.

I am getting used to not working.I have become a lazy bastard.I hope I can win the lotto one day so I never have to go back to work.I can get fat and lazy.I could sleep in everyday and wake up with the thought of not having to get stuck in traffic and put up with other peoples bull shi t

:lol: ahhhh! if only it were that simple.
Good luck with the new job if you take it. Yeah it's a bumer working for friends, especially when you become the focus of attention when things aren't working out.
