    Help with 2 acrylic strips for meeting

    roncgizmo- Good thought there, although I think cutting the slats would have to be done by a saw. Rich - Thanks....to bad you are not up north this time. I will send Renee a pm to see if she can. I am sure she is a bit crazed this week with the prep for the meeting and her crew of children...

    Mag Drives not firing up.

    Gotcha Phyl - I did give the 9.5 an unassembled overnight soak to no avail., but will give it another shot this weekend. I tapped it around in a bucket to no avail. Pretty frustrating. I think a higher quality pump will be my next investment, after a t5 setup. Fortunately, I do have a 9.5...

    Mag Drives not firing up.

    I believe I have read there is common a solution for this, but can't recall it since it has been a few years since I read it. I have a relatively new (6mo. old) Mag 9.5 that is refusing to start up. It has been unused for a while since I shut down by previous tank about two years ago. Can...

    Hi everyone - After a couple minor but scary third floor floods making RO, I decided I need to install a sink in my basement with a pump to direct waste water up and out.

    Pat Metheny Trio- Front row seats in West Long Branch

    Hmm...let's see what the best way to describe him. Well, I would have sent a link to youtube, but a clip of one of shows, but my work firewall blocks my access. I would recommend Googling a search and then look for youtube clips. You might be able to catch some samplings under CDNOW as well...

    Pat Metheny Trio- Front row seats in West Long Branch

    Come on there Reefers...there are no jazz fans interested in seeing perhaps the most renowned guitarist in the last ten years in the front row?!! Feedback from recent shows is raving with enthusiasm! Please pass this along to any jazz fans. This acoustic trio is very cool and Pat's is a...

    Two questions on a prospectful set up

    Thanks John. I was actually thinking about dropping you a note, so this saves time! Any other thoughts on the overflow or lights? What's tough is that I have to justify the truck rental and gas going 5-6 hours. Anybody have suggestions for the cheapest place to rent a van? This hobby is chock...
