Definately wished I had snow shoes... My buddies and I decided to re-visit our childhood and went sledding during the blizzard, (not recommended, 40 mph snow and ice hurts) and the snow came up to our mid thigh! Talk about tough walking!!!! Our little guy didn't like the strong winds either so he didn't care for the snow today, maybe we can try again tomorrow after work...

Haven't had a chance to talk about yellow snow, I'm sure we'll have to teach him soon enough as we have enough wild animals running around. Even this morning I had yellow snow on my porch! :mad2:

You wish for snow, I wish for 60 degrees! :)
 
Thanks for the feedback guys! I got a call from my wife earlier today that my package has arrived, so I'll have my pump when I get home. :) My wife is sick of the tank sitting on our island so hopefully I can get the brackets and shelf finished tonight and then I can focus on getting the tank cycled while I build a canopy. :D I'll post more pics as soon as there is something to post... (Should be tonight ;) )
 
Crap! Well the pump works great but one small hind sight... I forgot to pick up bolts to mount the brackets to the wall. :( Oh well tomorrow is another day so I'll pick some up on the way home after the football game. :)
 
Well I figured since I didn't get anything really done tonight, I'll just post the second pump and what the powder coated brackets look like...

Very nice tank Eric, but then again, you always have nice tanks :D

I like your stocking plans too, maybe a few Acan. Lords in there would be nice also.

I can see the SUV disappearing under the snow. Here in sunny Sydney, Australia, the Germans find it quite hilarious that we build "snow" man out of sand on the beach :D

Sorry guys I didn't get the bolts yesterday after all... I got a call from my best friend and his wife is in the hospital with 2 large blood clots in her lungs. Needless to say I spent my free time with my friend and his wife. :( I'll try to get it going tomorrow.
