Re: How often do you test perimeters?

Geez id have to be a little forgetful to check the perimeters every two weeks.. Sorry Yote.. Your not gonna get away from that one teensy mistake!

However I am forming an alliance with Biff on this one, im a lazy bastard. Never inless theres a problem. "If it aint broke, dont fix it" I like that philosophy Bobby! Specialy since its a little tricky to try to fix a tank with duct tape!!!!

Re: How often do you test perimeters?

You're supposed to test. I had no idea. I was just winging it. Actually I'm lazy too. Unless I see something acting funny I don't test. And neither does Jerm.

Thanks Rigo for the great laugh.
