Workin' over time

Finally got some part time work building decks and basements with a Filipino family friend. Thank God for connections.

I have seen some sick stuff today for fish tanks. We went to this guy's house which is his friend. This dude is a diamond appraisal guy with an international license, which is rare. He studied in Denmark, he dropped 120k to study there. This guy knows the value of money and items a lot...like A LOT. Holy shit.

He has several fish tanks, with 1 super red (rarest type of arowana), with some red-gold tail, some silver. Peacock bass. Giant two bar Silver dollars.

His main tank which consists of 1 super read, 2 gold red tails, 1 silver and a bunch of peacock bass is worth 25k. 25k...

His super red alone is worth 12k...the peacock basses are worth 600 dollars....u can buy them small for 10 bucks! what an investment!!!!

He also has a bunch of figurines. A BUNCH. Starwars, anime, video game chars, you name it. (psst. Alvin, he has a ton of awesome SF figures....so damn awesome..even Snake!) His basement is ensured for like 100grand incase of fire and his figurines go. Man.

To top it all of...way back when...when the CA dollar was higher than the US dollar...he bought TONS of U.S. funds. Recently he sold it for Canadian funds, and he got tons of CA dollars in return. 87 grand. 0_0

Anyways, that's it for now,
Alan
