Like a drunken sailor

[LizStreithorst]

I spent money today like one.  Almost $400. at home depot.  $140. at Jhemco.  I tried for 4 Magnum filters at Ken's and at Pet Mountain, but they are both out of stock   Wanted 18 micron filters as well, but I'll make do with what I have until one of them has the filters back in stock.

Everything I bought is for fish or at least fish realted except the Dremmel which is for grinding dog's nails at the shop (my old one died)   I bought 2 batteries for my DeWalt 18 volt tools.  I consider that fish related because I mostly use the flash light to lure the bbs to the bottom of the hatchery.

I sure did have fun.  It had become a downer having to put off my wants and needs due to lack of money.

Pet Mountain has them at 6 filters for $40 something.  I was going to wait until the filters themselves were back in stock to order but I should buy them now.  Like Ken's they offer free shipping at $75. and I was going to order 18 filters.  They also price match.  Ken's is selling the 250's for $54.95.  I doubt that price will still be in place when they get them back in stock.

I'll go do a little more druken sailoring now.

Another 18 micron cartriges on the way and another $121.50 bites the dust.

Sounds fun Liz.  Who needs a mall, right.    Not me.

...18 ?.....you do clean them after use too....right???

[LizStreithorst]

Of course   They still get to be hard to fit over the bottom piece and it's hard to push the middle thing with the holes into them.  I'm running 7 Magnums now and want 4 more.  I need the cartridges.

I have extra tubes, so I push one partially in while they are drying.....the same size PVC (cheap) would do the same thing for keeping them stretched when air drying.... .....my Mom had jean pants stretchers when we were kids...that's where I got the idea....

[LizStreithorst]

great idea.  Thanks

[greydragon]

where did you get your magnum 250s from as that is going to be my next filter i am going to buy

[LizStreithorst]

Big Al's and Pet Mountain go back and forth having the best price.  I just got notification tha Pet Mountain has them back in stock.  They will match Big Al's sale price of $54.95 if you phone them.
