That's cool!
I really should ask if we have bus monitors as well. I think that's a great idea.

Are you a nice bus driver, or one of those mean one's? You're Canadian, and you only look in the mirror every 9 seconds, so I'll guess you're a nice one. But then again, you have a spy on-board. HMMMM

The salvage yards will send them to you by bus.
Yea, I found one part in SLC and the other two in Idaho.

Bruce - You're thinking of how deep the gravel would be. I'll end up putting in about a 3" deep sand bed. I'm talking about only having 12" from the front glass to the back glass of the aquarium. So, instead of it being 60" x 18", it would end up being 60" x 12" because of the new "divider" I would install. Basically it would be like me moving the back glass forward towards the front of the tank.

However, I might not do it now because the designer of the system made a good point, the acrylic doesn't bond that well to glass (even with aquarium silicone) and if the overflow box actually ever ran empty and the tank was still full, that would be a TON of pressure on that acrylic rear wall and could cause it to break...then I'd be in real trouble. I could brace it, but then it would be difficult to reach in and fix things and/or get critters out if I needed. So, I might just go with the partial back wall like his system was originally designed. It appears safer. I just have to figure out the "shadowing" situation. Then I would keep all 18" on the bottom to put my rocks and such in.

Jeff - Sorry to hear about the issues with the truck. It stinks when that type of stuff happens. I've run into it before on other cars. Hopefully things get worked out soon for ya.

Donna - We live on a cul-de-sac, so admittedly, we don't have to worry about that too much, but I do feel for ya. I remember getting calls all the time about people racing up/down streets. Unless the officer just happens to be there and/or the idiots just keep doing it after the officer is dispatched so he/she can see it, you're kind of stuck. Best thing to do is try and get a description of the car/truck/bike and the plate number. Ya, I know it's not easy, but that's about all you can do. If you get a plate number and call it in, they can run it and go talk to the person at their home. Plate number is most effective and then the color/type of vehicle is second because then they can verify it's the correct person/people doing it.

Gigger - So it's like you have an air marshal on board? LOL Cool!

Return? Don't think I'm getting one of those this year, for some reason the ding dong in the Mr's payroll dept has not been withholding taxes all year sooo.....

Hope everyone's week is going well!

Wow Michelle, that is terrible. That guy could be in for some serious charges. In any event I hope this does not cause you too much hardship.

Morning everyone,

Sorry I missed the boards yesterday. My oldest daughter is in the hospital due to pregnancy complications.

Finally the last day of the month & the yucky snow is soon to fly.
Think positive...skiing, snowball fights, & slushies!

Have a great Friday!

That sucks! Did the guy do that to everyone, or just you? Maybe he put you down for "exempt" status? (cross your fingers) If not...turn him in!
