Waugh! Busy, busy, busy...

...and I've got a lot to catch up with bills and such, so...

...short and sweet...

My friend finished my tank. He's not 100% happy with it, but I am. D and I spent the last two days cleaning out the interior of the tank.

1. Wash interior of tank with dish soap.
2. Rinse.
3. Insert dog chain into tank.
5. Shake.
6. Shake some more.
7. Hand to D to shake because my arms are tired and it's 01:00 on a work day.
8. Shake some more.
9. Open bottle A, an acid, to etch the interior of the tank.
10. Pour in.
11. Go to sleep.

Next evening:
12. Pour off acid.
13. Rinse.
14. Take bottles B and C outside.
15. Pour contents of bottle B into tank.
16. Avert face from fumes (smells like nail polish remover that'd take everything off up to your elbows).
17. Agitate, while hoping that the dang tank won't blow apart.
18. Remove preparation B by jiggling tank over funnel for 10 minutes.
19. Pour in contents of bottle C.
20. Move tank about to distribute coating as evenly as possible. (Almost a recreational impossibility.)

And that's what I've been up to.

Whee!
