    Airpod headphones - review - err, wow!

    So, I'm a minor, outskirts, audiophile. My Dad was a big one, so I know quality and will usually bite the bullet and buy the best system I can afford. The Nakamichis, Boston, and AR systems he used to buy are well out of my range, but I do buy as best as I can. My goto headphones are a pair of...

    I did a biggie today

    Sucks dude, and personally I'd write off the tank. If you seal it it won't hold, and if you replace the bottom you'll have to remove all the silicone and re-seal, then every day you're away from the house you'll be wondering if the tank seams give out. There was a book called 'The Hitchiker's...

    Odd question - mothballs

    Hey Paul, Thanks, good to know. I actually gave up on the mothballs this morning as the smell was travelling into the house. I tend to put down some snap traps near the entry door from the garage to the house, and made a spinning bucket trap last year that worked extremely well (got at least...

    Odd question - mothballs

    Its a 33g trash can with a space cut out on the lid for the float. I'll just drop a contractors bag over it as well. So I shouldn't be peeing in it? This means I have to walk all the way to the bathroom from the garage. Geez, thanks Matt.

    Odd question - mothballs

    Rodents are moving into the winter apartment, also known as my garage. I dropped a few moth ball packs around to ward them off and the odor is strong. Then realized my RODI station is in the garage. Will the mothballs effect the RODI water, sorta like VOCs in paint?

    Gratz. One of the coolest, and most mellow, fish out there. Tons of 'meh' personality.

    Frogspawn and Hammer

    Picked up a hammer on a trade the other day. Fantastic! All the frags I saw there in his tanks are generous and stunning. You folks know I sell frags dirt cheap. For what they are, he's selling frags at MarkC/Raptor prices. If I get my 32g set up in time (though I'm mellow slow on it), I'm...

    Shout out to MikeM

    That was an astounding amount of generosity from Mike. Reef-keepers dream tank. Helped Mark unload that beauty of a tank and thought that it would be unfortunate if he met with an accident and the tank ended up at my place. I had the axe in hand and Jackie called out from the kitchen. Might have...

    Definitely drop a post on Reef2Reef Also: Don't those lights go 100% when initially turned on? Can you just hook them to a generic timer?

    Just took a selfie for you Bob, as your timing is perfect.... Have mine on this afternoon for doing some detailed painting work. Bought mine for modelling but great idea - will use them for frag cutting this weekend, never thought to before.

    Funny part is there are people ranting in the comments. And.... I have to start reading the Beacon more often... https://bayheadbeacon.blogspot.com/2020/08/giant-horseshoe-crab-caught-off-of-bay.html https://bayheadbeacon.blogspot.com/2020/07/bay-head-elementary-considers-hazmat.html...

    HA! Look at the article! Genius! The 'Skipper' is Jonah (Skipper on Gilligans Island's first name) 'Professor Storm Vento and his assistant, Finn Marian' (Professor and Maryann) 'You should have heard the howls as we gingerly moved her up the bay' (Ginger and the Howells) Love it!

    USS NJ Stuck in Point Pleasant today

    Gotta be a hoax. That photo in the article is badly Photoshopped. Plus, the logistics and expenses of powering up a battleship must be staggering. Then being dumb enough to drive it through a shallow canal? Guessing its a hoax (but I'll still drive by, just in case).
