    DMV - this is ridiculous

    Yesterday I went to register a trailer I built. Was told there were no more 'tickets (eg appointments)' for the day, I'd have to come back Monday. Apparently, they begin distributing appointments at 6am, but they advised I arrive between 4:30 and 5am to get in line as getting there at 5:30am...

    Generator help

    Never having owned a generator I’ve been looking into them and am down to 2 choices. Both are 4,000w give or take. One is a standard portable, the other an inverter. I’ll be running, at most, a fridge/freezer, a small tank pump, and maybe 2 box fans. I like the idea of the inverter as it’s...

    ID please

    Picked up a rock as a frag win last year. Think it came from Battle Corals and had a single mushroom on it. Well, it liked my tank, a lot, and now I have a few dozen. Anyone have a clue what this is? They’re a beautiful green and gold with pink and purple skirts and small pink arms.

    Anyone try a 'black box chiller'?

    I know there are a number of Chinese black box lights out there that do well. Anyone hear anything about the Chinese chillers? They're running about 1/4 of the price, which means I'd usually stay away, but wondering if there are any that end up being worthwhile.
