They say that every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.

There’s no turning back now.

The first buyer showed up this evening with money in hand and walked away with a Wavemaker and a Koralia-4.  Tomorrow a good chunk of the rock should be picked up and hopefully the chiller too.

Does everyone know what I’m talking about?  Pay attention everyone!  In ten days it should all be gone.  A lot of work.  A whole lot more money.  A bit of love.  A ton of frustration.  I wish I took more pictures.  I wish I took better pictures.  When I do look at the pictures I had taken all the love, work, and money that went it to it was all worth it.  But that was then;  And this is now.  Memories are priceless.  That’s all I will have soon.

I can safely say I will never do THAT again.  I will also say that it’s not the end of the line.  One day water shall once again grace its crystal clear skin, and life will once again thrive in its belly.  The only thing missing will be salt.  And therefore, LOTS of equipment.

• Does February Feel Cheated? I would, if I were February.  Why, when there are plenty of other months that have 31 days, should February be so shortchanged to only get 28.  And, on the rare occassion (usually once every four years, and sometimes not even then) it gets a "bonus" day. Just look at......
