That is so friggen bad azz!

Just a few things to smooth out and it will be lol This will help with disassembly and such.
Alex is being cute this morning. Covered in dirt again and wanting affection. Doesn't want out, just wants to chill on the hand.

Doing my first 4 color print. Added some blue spots to a 3 color print so it looks like my Shubunkin.

The blue started coming in earlier than I thought. The fish I based it off. The father of the babies I'm raising

That's pretty neat.

Small plugs are perfect as is the exactly 22mm plug. Only the head is 22mm while the plug is 20mm so it just passes through lol But I found a better solution than what was in my head Skimmer I can feed into a pipe to return to the pond while blocking fir needles.

Thinking out loud, if I could find other similar patterns in different poses / patterns they would make for a really cool lighted coffee table set under glass or epoxy.

Not at all a plan, but would be really cool.

Every time I go in a hardware store or hobby/craft store I look at everything there just like that lol

I love the Habitat for Humanity stores for that. So much stuff. It's like the ultimate garage sale of interesting things. Old sprinklers, old wood, old glass, old tools, cast and wrought iron. Lots of newer stuff too.

Christina won't let me go in there if she is with me lmao. Says I take forever to look around.
But you never know what really cool thing you might overlook if you aren't through.

I'm patient with the kiddo while he thoroughly searches the Goodwill shelves and bins for Nerf blasters. While giving me a history lesson on each one, rarity etc...

But he can't let me look at pieces of glass and ceramics for more than 30 seconds lol

Even the support structure and waste is being reused as bio balls.

Started as a hose sprayer with a lot of small holes and a funnel. I added in a circular void and sized it to meet the hose end with the tapped area. Screwed it on to a few plumbing connectors and just need to glue this to the skimmer to make removal and maintenance easy if need. I should be able to just use a bottle brush though. Height is perfect for water to fill the trough but flow out the drain to return.

I can't pretend to understand stand it all but it looks good from what I can see.
