Things we do for our Hobby

[alton]

Well I pulled another good one last night, I bought all the live rock from David which was just in a trashcan, so it has to be cured again no problem. I set up my 100 gallon Rubbermaid tub in my fish/junk room, put water in with a pump along with a ton of liverock. This morning I realized I forgot to close the door to the room and the kitchen smelled not so pleasant. And yep at 5:36 I get the text from the wife thanking me for stinking up the whole house. It didn’t matter what I said, it was wrong and I was sinking fast. So I did the best thing I could think of and asked her to call me. When I answered the phone, the first words out of my mouth was hey I am ordering you a new $600 Kitchen Aid Mixer for your birthday and what color would she like? You got it never heard another mention of the stinking live rock. After being married for thirty-two years I have gotten good at fixing things. Of course that cheap liverock just got very expensive but my wife is worth it.

LOL. A can of Febreze would have been a lot less expensive, however I don't think it would have been anywhere near as effective.

Good meeting you and your wife today Alton! I should have mentioned the Kitchen Aid Mixer today.

Just read this and that's smart.
Somethings we only learn through experience.

My corals and her shopping..... life's perfect then

Well she wants a pool which trumps all my tanks I have owned or spent money on. I wonder who will get stuck with cleaning it.

Compared to a reef, pool maintenance is too easy.
