Yes, this hobby will sure make my retirement plan just a little bit longer :-). If things don't go well, I will convert to FOWLR tank to save money and works.

Sorry to hear about you and the gf... However if it wasn't meant to be, move on. Your happiness must come first and foremost.

This recession has hit everyone, as a business owner myself, I can state that I have seen the ups and downs. And my guess is that we are in this for another couple years. Don't listen to politicians saying we are out of it, yeah right!!!! Tell that to my phone that isn't ringing as much as it use to.

Anyways glad to see that you are going to hold onto things if you can. And remember we talked about you building a nice framework for my metal stand. I am still interested, let me know when you have the time to discuss.

And to all a good day!

Chase31 nice try - I know you where kidding but sorry no freebee's my wife would kick my a** and so would the accountant, lol . It would be nice to have some where to show my stand design's but then I would have to know what people are looking for and build at my own cost then hope they sell.

But with that said :focus: hold steady and strong Doug I would hate to have you regret selling if you don't have to, something is bound to change. As the Goverment stated the recession is over, load of crap, why is there so many people have so much trouble getting back on there feet if it is over. Sorry but I had to vent.

Holey crap I can't believe I missed this, I just heard mention of it in JDigitals thread!! Glad you're keeping your tank Doug, I hope things turn around for you.
