The Fake Jaguar Thread

Indian Summer is finally here.

I did not work on the car today, but I give you instead, Legendary rust, Live!

It was 101F on the patio, but I could no longer ignore this rust. I knew that one small quake might be the end of my patio aquarium. I had a new stand (kit) delivered from Petco, by DoorDash in a Prius.

It was on sale too, so $98 plus $25 for the Prius owner.

Really, I did this just in time. It was so far gone that I didn’t need a wrench to take this apart. Bare handed, I ripped the connections asunder.

OK, it practically fell apart . . . It was so bad. ;(

Still it took from 9am to 6 pm to set up a temporary tank on the concrete, move fish, & drain everything.

Then I had to clean the tank & gravel, disassemble the old stand, build the new stand (assembling it around the plumbing which all goes through it) drill holes, add the braces, level it all, refill it, and put my fish back.

High of 70 here on Long Island. I'll take it. Favorite time of year. 100? Crazy hot any time of year.
Hang in there man. I'm sending you a cool breeze. Should get there in a couple hours.

Here in southeast Nebraska today it is 99 deg and 35 mph winds. It’s so dry and all around us the farmers are cutting corn and beans. Today there are fields on fire everywhere around us. I think every fire dept in a 15 county area and some from south of us in Kansas are fighting it. I’m glad on days like this that I retired from our dept, but I still feel a little guilty watching these guys going out.
