Too many is the first problem. But it helps me not think and deal with my PTSD. First off, I'm an aspiring cook/ butcher working to become a chef one day. I love the culinary industry in Austin.

Of course, Reefing. I also try and maintain an heirloom garden in my backyard. But it's currently put on hold. Because the wife and I are always arguing about watering the garden. Lol, she agreed she would water and I would maintain and upkeep. Didn't go as planned. But it's one of my favorite things to do. I have a wood shop in my garage. I build furniture, but only when I need it. I tried selling custom furniture. But people complain too much how expensive it is.

I go to the gym Monday through Friday. Again, another way of coping with my past. Those are the main things I try and focus on. Aside from honey do's and what not. I love to hunt and love building Guns. But it's something that takes time. Building Guns doesn't require a lot of time. It requires money lol. So I don't really consider it a hobby.

I'm in the same PTSD boat, among other things. It does help to keep busy. I love cooking too and especially baking. I inherited some awesome old cookbooks from my grandmother and they are very inspiring. And challenging! Lots of details are left out the majority of the time. I thought of pursuing a bakery business but I'm afraid I won't enjoy it if I have to do it full time. Commitment issues too. Kudos to you for setting that goal. Keep me updated.

What kind of game do you enjoy hunting?

It's different when it's a business over for fun. I work at salt and time in Austin and love what I'm doing, but there's been other places I've worked where I would regret it. Mainly because of management.

I've learned a lot from books. Most of the things I practice I pickup from reading. And then try to improve at home or work.

As far as hunting, all game is fair game I don't trophy hunt, I care more about the meat. I've been dove hunting every day since season opened. Wild boar, antelope, and deer are my favorite meats and offals.

Thanks! We will see how it looks after I finish packing in all the remaining gear ...

I wanted to pass the leak test first, so now on to the rest of the stuff!

Leak test is always priority. Lol

following your build. It looks nice!

Thanks! The frag tank build discussion is a smoke screen to hide the fact that I've been waiting over a year for my Reef Savvy 180 to be delivered

Man!

Reef Savvy makes beautiful tanks. I like the dimensions of my 125. I just want it to be 24 inches wide instead of 18. You've been waiting over a year? That's crazy.

Still need to clean up a few remaining wires and do the left side but here is the right side of the sump

Thanks. I need to get some better Velcro. The osmolator and vortech power supply have both come off of the boards. Guess I'll get some super glue or a screw to hold them on

If you don't want a permanent scenario. You could use heavy duty two sided tape. I was having a hard time removing power strips from the stand, and I've had them there for more than 3 years. Probably closer to 4 years

Thanks. I may look into double sided tape

Just make sure it's the industrial or extra heavy duty

Where did you get those dark 90 degree fittings?
