We had to do cycle counts at work, which is like a mini-inventory which put me behind by a couple of hours. I worked my butt off to get out of there on time so that we could pick up the truck and drive out to BFE to get the tank.
It was really REALLY far away, a little over an hour in rush hour traffic, but we made it. It was a 72 gallon bowfront tanks and was in the garage at a huge baptist church. I guess one of the youth ministers had bought it some time ago with the intention of doing something with it, but then lost interest and it had just been gathering dust.
It wasn't in perfect shape, the center brace had been re-enforced as a precautionary measure and needed to be re-siliconed. It was dirty, and I think someone had been using an angle grinder near it because one side of the front bow had micro scratches on it that looked like they were probably caused by tiny pieces of metal. The tank also needed a good cleaning. All in all, it was still a fantastic deal on a great tank.
We got it home and got the UHaul returned by 7pm. The fish had to be dealt with at this point, since I really needed a shower and the bathtub was still full of fish. After some careful shuffling around we managed to get everyone into a tank and I was up until 2 working on finals again. By this point I was really ready to just die.
Song of the Day is Ghost by The Indigo Girls.
This was stuck in my head most of the day. It's one of my favorite songs, I know, I know, sometimes I am just too gay for my own good.
