He will be understanding I hope.?? 1 hour ago, NanoSteve said: Looking forward to see what your kids come up with! It will be interesting to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment

You entered the contest before May 10 so you actually get a grace period. When your tank arrives, you still have 100 days. 2 Quote Link to comment
