Chris! Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Looks like you and the Mrs. had a great time, that inn looks amazing! Its pretty bad ass that they still had stuff that was original in it like that. Was it Original original or restored to original a few times? That aint a cup, thats a scotch glass at best.

NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Looks like an amazing time... and I don't even like wine! LOL, Im in the same boat. I didn’t expect to enjoy the wine part much, but it wasnt half bad. Looks like you and the Mrs. had a great time, that inn looks amazing! Its pretty bad ass that they still had stuff that was original in it like that. Was it Original original or restored to original a few times? That aint a cup, thats a scotch glass at best. The place went through several rounds of renovations, but the floors, throughout were original, as were some of the interior doors, heart pine everywhere. Good call, and just like scotch... its some potent stuff. Cool trip. Looks like you and the wifey had lots of fun! Indeed we did, nice to finally take a break from the day to day. Dirty ass frag plug, but sick Lepto Wow- that Lepto is sick! Congrats on the wedding! Im really happy with it, all the smaller pieces are growing into the main And thank you! Took the afternoon and did a pretty deep cleaning, my fuge area was turning into a nasty slop and lots of detritus built up in the sump. I didnt get a before picture, it was gnarley tho scrubbed the fuge section down With the help of the best $20 Ive spent on the tank in a while Half a cup of detritus, 3 pounds of cheado and a razor blade to scrape the walls... And were back in buisness Link to comment

Good call, and just like scotch... its some potent stuff. Thats pretty impressive that the floors were able to remain original. I mean I'm sure they have been redone but they get the most wear and use ya know. It all looks great tho Oh I bet..... probably not as bad as when I empty my "cup" tho LOL I didn't even think about using a shop vac to suck crap out of the sump! I have a brand new one laying around not being used for anything else too. Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 My buddy told me about it. He has one to clean out his little pond. Got ya. Im goin going to cover those up and also find a way to protect the switch. Thats pretty impressive that the floors were able to remain original.

I have a brand new one laying around not being used for anything else too. Yea, it was cool seeing the old square head nails. Its amazing how well old heart pine floors hold up, the ones in my grandparents house are still in great condition, tho wavy as hell (built in 1895). Grandpa redid them when they moved in, 50 years ago I saw a guy talking about it on the local forum, it really worked great. Link to comment

And also where can I find more info about this wine tour? Good chance my wife and I will be in GA this year and she likes those sorts of things. Ill ask my buddy, as I know he bought it with a name attached, It seems like its going to be a decent grower, Ill throw a frag plug under whatever part starts growing off the big plug and put your name on it. This tour thing was a once a year thing, but the wine tourism is really growing in North Georgia. There are several companies running tours around the area, heres a site with alot of info http://www.georgiawine.com/ All of them have tastings avaliable, and its a really cool way to see some very un-Texas landscapes.

NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 After one long night and an hour or two this morning getting it back together I've got the retro in. There is currently one channel of LEDs 12 Cree XT-E Royal Blues 3 XP-E2 Blues I can dim them down to 10% and I had them around 15% today. I've got to bulbs per channel, Im still playing with the T5 bulbs but I currently have: Actinic Coral+ LED Retro Coral + B+ I’m really happy with how it turned out, with all bulbs on it is slightly LESS blue than it was before, but I have alot of colors popping I didn’t before, and the two Coral+ really make the fish look good. Looking forward to trying out some top down shots tomorrow, after working out how best to shoot with the new lights. Thanks again to Jedimasterben for his help, I came into the retro with NO understanding of LEDs, and feel pretty comfortable with them now. Link to comment
