Tank Pics!

I finally got the new stand from the gentleman that built is... He triple braced the stand that way I was for sure to be able to put either a 75G or a 55G tank on it

Cool....I like the wizard! (just one of the many things I collect)

Nice stand, btw.

I love wizards and dragons and magical things... Hince MOJO for her name... LOL

I like the stand... It is HUGE... 24.5 inches wide 52 inches long... 36 inches tall...

I figured 'mojo' was either a Morrison (mojo risin') or Lansdale reference (mucho mojo)...or just plain ol' magic.

So, do you do TRF in Plantersville?

 

[missdixie256]

Actually Mojo WAS a Doors reference as well as a magical reference Very few people catch that... BUT the only reason is it was Mr. MoJo Risin' and I was fairly certain that it was female...

I have never been to the TRF But I would love to go... None of my friends understand..LOL...

damn...I'm good! heh

here's some ultra obscure Doors lyrics fer ya..."You've got fish for friends, pearls for eyes"...I foget the rest (some random lyrics off a live bootleg)

Awwww you're quoting the doors to me!!! How sweet! When I was a kid my two best friends' dad was killed going to Lufkin adn they played a smokey doors tune at his funeral... I can't for the life of me find the song again

 

[tom91970]

give me some details and I can figure it out.

found the lyrics...

you got fishes for your friends
you got pearls for your eyes
you got water all around you, baby
you're sinkin', you're goin' way down
sinkin' way down


this was from a live performance of 'moonlight drive'...Jim would always ad-lib during performances; I've got a pretty decent audience recording of that show.

that lyric or the traditional lyrics would make a great sig...maybe I'll change my Pinn Floyd fish reference....

I dont know... It was 1991 and I was 7 years old...

In '91 I was 21 and watching 'The Doors' movie when it was released in the theater...I don't remember much but I do know a bottle of whiskey was involved.

 

[missdixie256]

HEHE the doors and booze... Sounds like my kind of movie... I LOVED the 'Banger Sisters' lol...

Looks good. I'd say the stand looks pretty darn sturdy based on what you can see in the pics! Congratulations.

I really like that second pic the best...nice to see the oscar with plenty of space.

Eventually I will learn how to work the new digi cam... Then maybe I can take great pics like everyone else! The blasted thing has so many different 'modes' I cant figure em out!

I decided not to do giant decorations and tall rock piles because she really needs the swimming room... So I tossed in a few live floating plants and a handful of fake ones... And a few locally collected flat chunks of petrified wood... And she HATES the wizard! lol... Does everything in her power to knock him over several times a week...

I love the stand but it is HUGE! lol.. 52 or 54 inches long and 24 inches wide... I am very happy with the way it turned out... The legs of it are yellow colored cedar and the top oi made of the red colored... Just beautiful... hehe and HEAVY!
