Cleaned out a couple of the fish tanks. Set up the coral in a 20 gal. one to empty out the 77 gal. so i could move it from the middle of the basement floor (bug-ger's heavy) Haven't decided if I'm going to set the big 'un back up or not as we don't have the funds to re-stock (Lost everything to an ammonia spike :cry: ) ... Attacked an old pull out couch that was taking up space in the basement with some screwdrivers and a handsaw. Easier to get it upstairs and fit it in the PeeVee to bring to the dumpster. I Might be able to clean enough out that i can get to my work bench down there.... maybe.

I also got around to putting a couple of cross pieces that were missing from Guimauve's roof-rack on from MRSHMELO.... That's about the extent of my fun today :roll: Exciting EH.

Here's the baby doing his best Dopey Dwarf imitation from Snow White.

Also figured i'd share this little bit DeLorean 4 from the US forum created for the next Canadian installment of Ladafest. Held in Winnipeg MB, Canada Madman hosted the first Canadian Ladafest last year and although the turnout was small a whole lot more Lada's have been coming outta the woodwork in his area. This fall should be a good turnout.

Enjoy

Attempting my hand at a webpage... we'll see if it works as It's just a google thing but might be an easy way for people to check the PDF FSM without having to download it for quick reference.

NERTZ!!! spent all this time uploading the sections of the FSM both 1600 and 1700 (Hosted by Gadgetboy at http://www.turbo-nutter.com) To find out they do not support publishing of PDF files as of yet... oh well I'll just throw interesting stuff up there and wait or pull it all back down.

WOO HOO!!! I think it works.. kinda. Anyone wanna test drive 'er?

http://sites.google.com/site/ladacanada/

I don't have many links up yet and the FSM CRUSHED my allowable storage down to 40% but I guess i could always expand with another site if i had to.

:D :D :D

(We'll see how long this lasts for lol :P)

P.S. I know it's cookie cutter cornball stuff but it's my first one...

Edit: The app i wanted to use to preview the PDF's online isn't a part of the webpage so i guess they still have to be downloaded to be viewed.. Oh well it was a thought. (And i apologize if it looks funny on big screens as i set it up on the baby lappy :? )

Thanks Si! If anyone wants me to link to their Niva pages, clubs, etc just pm me a working URL and a short description. I'll put them up when i have time to. Please don't flood me out with a boatload of URL's in one PM.. Firsthand sites are preferable.

Mark and David I already have you guys covered :D

Am still up at 1:30am working my way through my pile of log-sheets trying to get my meal claims calculated for tax time :?

Maybe i should have done it up once a month so i wouldn't have to be up half the night. :roll:
