    As I wait for my parts to be delivered, I realize even after being in/around this hobby for some time now I haven't really learned any patience. Anyone else ever get anxious when waiting on deliveries?

    Of course! Made my purchase on Sunday night from Marine Depot for my Tunze Skimmer and my Aquagadget Minimax Media Reactor and I have been checking the shipping updates at least a couple times a day. Luckily I checked it about 15 minutes ago and it is on the truck and out for delivery:D. I hate waiting as well but I'm not paying that outrageous shipping to save a day or two or even overnight. Not like it is an emergency or anything.

    Absolutely. Even after 40 years in the hobby, the waiting is still the hardest part. :eek:o_O

    I will never pray for patience again. I did one time and I was given a son. Though I would not give him away for anything in the world, I don't want another one. lol
