Art from Warner Robins Georgia.
53, retired USAF, single (confirmed Bacholor!), gunsmith by trade (check out my bizz at Aardvark Arms (http://www.aardvarkarms.com) . Also run a Home Brew shop in the same place, Brewmasters (http://www.brewyourown.com) .
Been keeping fishies now for a little over a year, made mistakes, but learning from them.
Hobbies (besides the fishies), Into Land Rovers (own a 1960 Series II), and am also a Boy Scout Leader (ASST Scoutmaster, Troop 566, Warner Robins GA). Was a Scout and member of the OA as a Lad, trying to pass on my life experiences to the Lads of today (besides, don't know who has more fun on the camp-outs me, or them!)
So , Howdy!

Cool- someone else my age that collects old cars. I did not realize (or forgot!) that Aardvark was only an unofficial nickname for the 111.
As a homebrew guy, maybe you can help all us plant growers with some sort of yeast that works with temps in the 60's. Those of us with basement tanks, or turned-down thermostats in the winter have trouble generating enough DIY CO2~
Anyway, welcome! What kinds of fish are you most interested in?
ps- your "lathe for sale" link seems to be dead.

Welcome,
I have two boys in Scouts. One is a Bear and the other a Weblos I. I have a Ruger Mark III bull barrel with a Tasco red dot that I use for standard pistol competition. Got a good deal on a 1911? :D Up until about a year ago, I owned a 1966 Fairlane GT 428 4-speed. Good to have you on the board.

Coupe-
The F-111 was the only A/c in the Air Force without an official name until it was retired; "Aardvark" was one of the printable unofficial names!
Yeast at low temps; wine yeast is at it's best from 65-75 degrees. Lower it slows down fermentation, higher it dies off.
Red Star Champagne yeast seems to work the best at the lower temps..
Tesla-
I'm mostly a gunsmith, not much in the sales. 1911's normally don't last long in the display case...

hi Art! You've got quite an ecclectic mix of interests, always a good thing. Your'e always one of my favorites on the boards. I just really enjoy your laid-back attitude and sense of humor :)

Got a son in my troop; told you about the snails last night?
Either that or someones stalkin' me!

LOL no need to stalk you. Did a google search because I forgot the troops homepage. A search for troop 566 and warner robins brought up this post on a forum that I have been a member of for years. I normally will not post here; It isn't polite for mods/admins of other fish boards to post. :Angel:

I never did find it, thanks Art! :bowing:
Wanted to figure out what we're doing in December.
I guess I should have specified yes you told me about the snails last night. :)

Is that so? If it is, I should be removed from all 7 other fish sites I'm on! I don't think it's a big deal, especially if you don't flaunt that position on other sites.
yeah it was about time.
welcome LOL
