You're worried about inlaws coming in the next few days?
Try worrying about whether or not you will sleep. ,,,
I wish you the best time while they are with you, but leave you with my problem ...
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get more than 3-4 hours sleep/night over 2-3 days. Then I sleep for 10-12 hours.
I have tried setting the alarm to break the cycle but it's still hard.
Anyway, after having less than 6 hours sleep over the last 2 nights, I'm hoping that the beers will add to my ..... OK .... I'm tired now .... time .. to .. go to bed without food .... turn TV off OMG I am SOOO tired

If I come back here tomorrow morning, it will be a record staying awake problem

YYYyyaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnnn

Not worried about inlaws we generally have a good visit. Just worried that the tank is taking up the guest room to which they will reside for a month. I need to finish it to move it out of the room. And work on the stand while they are out that I can do in the garage after I clean it out a bit. And work on the rock walls and structures. If all goes well tank will be running end of June.beginnng of July.

I can hope
