It’s going on 2 weeks now and the tank is still full of water!  I’ve been too worn out to post during the week because of a few projects going on here.

It was a big project, but the tank has been re-sealed, the wood stained, the stand built, and all the sand and gravel has been added.  It took 300 lbs of sand and more than 500 lbs of rock to finally look right, but I think it really turned out great.

There are a lot of plants in there that will take some time to grow in, but in the next couple months and years, I think it’s going to really look phenomenal.

I’m starting the series here again courtesy of Kyle Mangan.  Look forward to a new comic from him every Wednesday for the next few months.

On Saturday Beth and I went out and had a great time at the 7th annual Seattle Ska Fest 2010 – Ska Summit.  I’ve posted a bunch of pics here from the night.

There are some perks to driving through an ice storm at night. I find it much easier to not be distracted by the possibility of a horrible and tragic death if I can’t see it coming through the ice on the windshield. And hey, I don’t even think that the laws about signaling for a lane change apply when the lines are completely invisible.

Sometimes I’m amused at how much of my life and career is spent behind the wheel. I get to drive a lot for work and I still love it. I can always use some more time to myself to just be alone, think, and enjoy the scenery. The hectic schedule of work takes on an entirely different meaning when you’re paid at the same rate to be in front of your customers as you are to spend a day, on each end, behind the wheel on the open road.

The real benefit to me thought is the guilty pleasures of being alone with full control of the radio. Every now and then Beth gives me the evil eye when we’re on the road together and she guesses at my secret country addiction.
