This morning I took my first walk on the beach for the season. I can't go in the winter because they remove the bottom 10' of stairs and being I am not Spiderman, I don't want to jump that distance. But today I rescued my first horseshoe crab of the Spring. For an animal that has been here...

Happy Mothers Day everyone. Well, you Mothers anyway. :D

So I got this new computer a few weeks ago and I love the thing. It looks and runs exactly like my 18 year old Windows 7 which was my criteria. Of course this new one has 6 times more computing power which is why I bought the thing. I may get my wife the same one today. She has a newish one...

I am lucky and know how to fix most things unless on a newer car where everything is computer controlled. But everything else on a car I can fix. I have re-built quite a few engines and transmissions and that leaves you with a practically new engine for a tenth of the price of a new one. I...

There are many parts that are simple to repair, but no one wants to do the work or save the money. How much could a repair shop charge you to change a 10 cent part? The mirror is much more difficult to replace and they could charge you $500.00. The mirror is a little difficult to take apart...

Here in New York we have to get our cars inspected every year. Of course as I was going to have it done, my "Check Engine" light came on and it won't pass inspection like that. I have the Code Reader that you plug into the computer port in the car and it tells you whats wrong and what turned...

Thank you Diana. I appreciate it but I have not protected the country in quite a while. I would do it again today if needed but if our Army needs me..........Run. :confused2:

This homecoming was a very high point in my life. When people come home from the service or war now they are greeted with respect and maybe a party, parade or at least an ice cream cone and are rightly so treated as Hero's. It was much different when we came home from Vietnam. I ETSed (Got out...

OMG I got home 1:00 this morning from the Honor flight to DC. Our plane landed here about 11:30 last night. It was amazing and some of it was almost indescribable. I even had a Supermodel companion assigned to me who was really nice. I couldn't be happier but I will get back to this as we are...

I am going to Washington DC tomorrow. Hopefully, the cherry blossoms will still be in bloom. The "Honor Flight" people are taking me and about 100 other Veterans there for an Honor ceremony. Some of my friends are staying with my wife to help her as I won't leave her alone for a day...

WE have to get away from this idea that dirt is bad for fish. We Humans evolved to eat a lot of dirt in our lives, most Neanderthals didn't have that little push thing next to their Delta sink faucet filled with that nice smelling baby blue Anti- Bacterial soap with the Supermodel or Clownfish...

My Daughter passed the Bar so now she can sue me and I have to call her Counselor or esquire.

Good Morning. Today it almost 80 degrees which I think is a record. But it will get colder and rain tomorrow. :confounded-face: I took a picture of the mist over a pond right near my house on my morning walk.

I took my Daughter and Grand Son freshwater fishing. There isn't many places for fresh water fishing here as we are surrounded by salt water but I found one. My Daughter caught this bluegill. Some millennials came by and the girl asked if we caught anything. I said Yes, we caught a barracuda...

I also hve been to nicer aquariums but the one at Coney Island is by far the oldest. It used to be in the Battery in lower Manhattan but when WW2 happened it closed as all the men went to war, it was re opened on the boardwalk in Coney Island and is still touted as the oldest public aquarium on...
