Cool

Count don't you have that backwards??

The PBTW is going to Vegas for nine days?!?!?!

Without you.

With your credit cards.

And you are the one dancing????




Isn't that long enough for three divorces and three marriages for her with one Bankruptcy for you in Vegas time?

For that you get to sit on the XK seat without a towel.

I am not sure you are the one in the driver's seat buddy.

But who am I to talk?

At least yours is staying in the country instead of going off to Mikinos or Rome or Paris or London or Prague or Beijing or Jakarta or......

Your deal is sounding better than I thought come to think on it.

hmmmmm,

She's taking our kids... I actually have never been,,, Not a gambler,,, just in the markets,,,

We have a friend out there that is a manager at the Bilagio and lives right outside the city,,,

I am staying home watching the dog, 2 cats, 250 fish, the Jag and the Stocks,,, ALONE in Quiet,,,

The last time I had a week alone and my trading room going I made enough in 3 positions to buy the PBTW her car,,, That was in October,,,

Now I have a little longer... Hoping to make enough to pay for her trip,,, and snag me a car... Without dipping into the Weasal Sack,,,

Are you sure that will be quiet, won't the 250 fish be partying too?

Have only been a couple of times to Vegas and didn't bet a cent.

Never saw anyone who was winning walk away from the tables before they lost it all and more again.

Did catch some amazing shows though.

Good luck in the markets I am not smart enough for that game....all I ever did is lose in them, every time.

I dipped into the rainy day funds for our XKR but I put it off for five years and then one day I noticed that mates and relatives were dying every month and thought what the hell I sure won't be able to spend it after I kick off so might as well go out grinning.

Be careful on the boat by yourself, at least on the lake here I can always see where I am going. We actually had waves big enough to surf on last week if you were a polar bear.


Enjoy the peace.

As it turns out my 400 gallon tank seems to be some-type of swingers club... It is fertile ground (or water) apparently... I have a 25 lbs. Pacu and all types of fertile Chiclids... they are taking over,,, just had another frye of about 300 of which 50 should live....

NOT ME IN THE PIC,,, but thats a Pacu

Actually mine,,, Francis Jean is very cool,,, I lie on the top of the tank reach in and she let's me scratch her... First on the dorsal fin,,, then she swims away turns and looks at me,,, then swims back and rolls on her side so I can scratch her belly. I can do it forever she loves it....

Now she can take a Hazelnut and crush it so hard it shatters... Sometimes if she does it just right you can hear the POP....

And she has nailed me a few times when I would just ignore her and not scratch her hard enough...

Count I am beginning to worry about your dog....

I hope it is bigger than your dinosaur fish...it looks like you could take that fish out for walks.

Your PBTB is more than tolerant she is saintly.

How much raw meat do those fish go through in a week?

Don't lose your arm.

cheers,

jj

Frances Jean is actually an herbivore but she will suck up 5 dozen goldfish in just a few moments... She is the cousin of the piranha,,, never thought she would get that big...lol they grow to over 65lbs and were featured on "River Monsters" they were dubbed the "Ball Cutter" by the local indigenous people from rivers that it lives in,,, Mostly South America,,,

Mine just loves HazelsNuts and nothing more....

That is my joke I would take her for a walk if I could...

I'll see if I can post a Video of me petting and feeding her....

She shattered her last tank a 250 gallon glass tank and destroyed the house... I had to gut the house and remodel the whole thing... Wife called 911 because I was over in Tampa at the time,,, Had the firemen paramedics and police at the house.... Happened @ 11:30 at night and she calls 911 "HELP SAVE MY FISH" lol

Great Story!!

Good thinking to upgrade to a 400 gallon tank, next time you can just rebuild the whole house....

Was she going for an intruder or the dog when she shattered the last one?

Not many people have a 'guard fish'.

You do live large.

cheers,

jj

"Good thinking to upgrade to a 400 gallon tank, next time you can just rebuild the whole house...."

The new tank is 1 inch thick Acrylic,,, Bulletproof... By the time I got it installed and ready for water had over $6,000.00 in it....

Tank is about 600lbs
Base is about 500lbs
Rocks are about 300lbs
400 gallons of water at 8lbs per gallon = 3200lbs
and the filtration tank and equipment underneath I have about 5000lbs in one place....

I did do just about the whole house... all the wood floors came up,,, so did the tile,,, 4 ft up the walls,,, new kitchen totally re-wired the house,,, removed walls,,, put in Marble floors,,, Marble Walls,,, went overboard and did the work myself.... The new Tank is totally plumbed into a treated water supply,,,ETC...

I am beginning to think that fish is bullet proof.

Come on by we would like to do some Marble remodeling of the bathrooms ourselves and I could use some lessons.

The skiing is great this time of year.

I can try to keep you in beer and whiskey.

cheers,

Don't Drink but do Ski,,,

Hey checkout Venetian Plaster if you are planning to do the walls very elegant and fun to do,,, I did the Master bath,,, In there at 2 in the morning sanding and burnishing,,, Wife is looking at me like I have 3 heads... She loves it...

Marmorino - La Calce Del Brenta - YouTube

Interesting history about it,,, It is made from Marble dust Lime etc,,, and was used in Venice because it was lighter and gave the same effect of a Huge Marble Sheet/Wall,,, and they were afraid that the added weight from everyone using the heavy Marble Slabs would sink Venice even faster...FYI

Count_Damonee you should take some pics of your car and share with us. I think that Jaguar Racing green is the best color the xk8 came in and honestly imo the best Jaguar color ever.
