Drifter

Me in my element doing what I enjoy doing the most.

Sean Connery is the true James Bond IMO. The best by far. Roger Moore would come in a close 2nd for me, then Pierce Brosnan, then Daniel Craig, and that sissy-ass Timothy Dalton is a shame to the entire Bond franchise if you ask me lol. By far the worst Bond ever...hell I'd even put George Lazenby ahead of Dalton (you younger guys can google who that is because most of you probably don;t remember him BTW I'm a HUGE Bond fan. I've got all the Connery/Moore/Brosnan ones on DVD. Actually have watched about 4 Bond flicks just the past week alone, they have been showing a ton of them on some of the late night cable channels lately.

Closed the case today on Ebay. I received my fees back and the deadbeat did receive an unpaid item strike on their account.

Since the 265g tank will be longer than expected I moved a couple fish I picked up a few weeks ago from the small holding tanks up into one of the 55g display tanks upstairs. Blue Dragonblood X.Dayglow Full tank shot

Can't believe this about an hour ago I went down to check again and I found 2" of water in the basement and the tank less than half empty. I can't take this crap anymore I am done wit this BS. After 12+ hrs with not a drip all the sudden theres a major blow out. I feel like I wasted a whole damn year for nothing on that damn tank. I'm done I have reached my limit I'm so frustrated right now I done know which end is up.

No worries bud they aren't. Just makes me feel sorry for society that I leave behind more than anything to be honest.

My thoughts exactly Tommy. Little does he know I'm not as stupid as he is so I will not be lead into saying anything back to him that he could use against me

Link isn't working Dave, it times out when I click it. And get this, that dickweed just sent me another message through ebay. All it said was..... "what the hell ever". The fuck is this person a total fucking moron or what? I never even replied to the last "fuck you" now they send "what the hell ever" message? My God there are some people out there that are truly to stupid to even let live. I sincerely hope this waste of life does not breed I tell you that much.

I've never had to have a mutual cancellation so I was not sure how that would work with my fees I already was charged. Plus even if I did get my fees back I feel a mutual cancellation would be nothing more than my aiding people in abusing honest sellers. Reason why- Now that sellers can not leave negative feedback for buyers there has been a rash of non paying bidders over the past year. What is to stop someone from bidding on three different GTA5 auctions and winning all three then choosing to pay only for whatever one was the lowest winning bid they won, then cancelling the two other ones they won, then that in turn causes two sellers the hassle of having to go through cancelling, being credited, then relisting and hope that it doesn't happen to them again. That happens all too often now on ebay if you read the seller forums on the ebay community. So I refuse to help enable these low life non paying bidders by giving them the easy way out. And I never ship a single item on ebay without tracking so that they can not lie and say it never showed up. Easy solution IMO. Only bid on what you want and then be a responsible adult and pay your bill. Not lecturing you BoroVC just explaining why I would not do a mutual cancellation for someone like this even if I did get my fees back by doing it is all.

I know crazy isn't it? My guess is that his helmet is blocking his view of his keyboard for typing You have no idea how hard it was for me when he said "I don't know who you think you talking to in this matter" to not reply back with "Well a fucking imbecile from the sounds of it" lol....but I took the high road.

Sometimes I feel like the internet is nothing but a means for assholes to spread their assholeness to a much broader audience. Case in point- Last week I sold GTA5 on Ebay, I finished the game and really only care for the story mode so figured I'd give someone else a chance to own if rather than it sitting unused in my rack. So I sold it last week on Ebay. First off I have been on Ebay for 10 years, have 100% positive feedback on 840 transactions (in other words I am a responsible and honest buyer/seller). The winning "bidder" on my auction just joined Ebay 3 days before winning my auction and has ZERO feedback. They bid on the auction right at the end and won it. Then 3 days go by without payment. I send a 2nd invoice, still no payment after 4 days so I file a case/non paying bidder with Ebay. Then 6 days after winning the "buyer" sends me a message saying to cancel the transaction because their game system broke. Okay wait a minute, lets use logic here, they are trying to tell me their game system broke in the 1 hour between them placing the bid and the auction ending? I don't think so. So I reply back to them in a polite manner telling them they need to pay for what they won because the auction has ended and its been a week so the other bids I had are now useless since this person won and has not paid for a weeks time. I get a reply back. First of all this person is either 1)- An immature kid, or 2) - Adult that is completely ignorant and has no education what so ever. Because there is ZERO punctuation, zero grammar, misspelled words all over, and the usage of terms is totally incorrect. Here are the few messages between myself and this mental giant today. The quoted ones are the "buyers" replies. (keep in mind this is a week after they won the auction and have not paid. I can not just cancel this, Ebay does not work that way. You bought this a week ago, not only does it cost me selling fee's on Ebay but other people bid and you outbid all the others so now I can not even offer it to the other bidders since they have obviously already bid and won others for themselves. If you did not plan on paying then you should not have bid, You need to be responsible for what you won and finish the transaction you entered into. First off READ the rules of Ebay. When you place a bid it is a binding contract because when you win an auction it means the other bids of the other people are now useless. Plus the only way I get reimbursed on the fee's ebay charged me is to open a Non paying bidder case with ebay, then wait 4 days, then after they have reimbursed me THEN I can relist it. I can not just cancel after the auction ends or I lose my fee's I paid. But that still means you have negated the other bids I had so I now have to go back through bidding again. I find it very funny that you are saying you will report me?? You are in fact a NON PAYING BIDDER yet you feel you are going to report me for something? Be my guest, because when you tell Ebay that you won an auction then did not pay they will in fact give you a "strike" because I have done nothing to you but ask you to follow through with your responsibilities with what you agreed upon by placing the bid/winning the auction. BTW the issue was already reported by me to ebay 2 days ago. And I will be following up with them. I did not bother replying back again to this obvious moron. I simply reported him for a 2nd time to ebay, this time for using foul language as well as being a non paying bidder. I tell ya people that act like this online are nothing but cowards, because if this person actually saw me in person I would bet they would be singing a different tune than saying "fuck you" because I would twist this idiot into a knot and drop kick him through the uprights of asskickingville!

Well it is now 100% full and has been for the past 30 mins now and still all dry/no leaks. I also put a 730gph submersible pump into the tank to blow the water around against all the seams. Just as kind of a "real world" test like it will have when the filters are running. I don't want to speak too soon and jinx myself, but I am close to thinking my first reseal job might be a success. I will say this though. Nothing is as nerve wracking as leak testing a tank that holds 2120lbs of water. Every little noise sent chills down my spine. The furnace room is right behind the tank area and when the heat clicked on .....well lets just say I almost leak tested my drawers!

Monsters University. First time I have seen it I liked it a lot

The whole thing seems odd to me. In the article it says Two passports were fake, then in the very next sentence it says Four passports were fake. And how is it possible that they had no radio contact with the pilots, that part I am not understanding what so ever.

Took a break for a couple hours from rod work tonight to finish this up. All done and painted and fukien tea bonsai replanted into a semi cascade style. Still have some branch pruning to do on it, but I will let it sit for a few months to recover from the transplant before doing that.

Yeah, this is one from Oct 2012 . . . .

Blade "trinity"...why? No F&*^in' I deal. Well, I do. Jessica Biel's ass always looks good no matter where it's at

lol...well, not even close to being done, but thanks bud.

About 6 months into growing it/ I have been working it into a pointed style. Very much a "Leonidas 300 style I think it's for sure getting there. It's around 5" long now..

Anyone that knows me knows I'm not happy unless I have 50 different projects all going at the same time, so in addition to all the rod orders I'm working on, the big 265g tank project, and the zombie 3D project, I've also been working on this as well. If you remember one of my other hobbies are Bonsai trees, and with the cost of bonsai pots being so high I decided I wanted to make my own and have it looks like a real rock scene with the tree placed inside of a rock structure like "pot". Started out with cutting and siliconing three pieces of foam together Then cut out the first two layers of foam in the center section leaving the bottom layer as a base Carved/shaped and hit with the heat gun First coat of drylok. After the first coat dries then I will be going over the seams between the pieces with some body filler and smoothing those out so the seams are no longer visible. Then it'll be time to shade and highlight the rocks and seal it. I'll post more pics as I progress.

It's like you are inside my head reading my mind! lol
