This morning I took my first long morning walk after my new shoulder surgery. Nothing exciting happened and it is overcast so no beautiful sunrise. :)

He may just have a little upset stomach. I will see in a day or so. :cool:

I think my long spine urchin may be nearing the end of his life. He is in the front of the tank now and he never goes there in the day time. He lost a couple of spines and I just gave him a piece of clam, his favorite food and he pushed it away. Normally he would make short work of it. He is...

MadReefer, If I remove this sling, my arm will hit the floor, get dirty and make a big noise. :apologetic: I have to keep it on for a couple more weeks as the WD-40 penetrates the aluminum shoulder until it stops squeeking. :biggrin: The most important thing to do with a very painful "Plantar...

i am not taking the oxy any more as the tequila alone seems to do the trick. no more capitals because the left arm doesn't move yet unless i add vodka to the tequila. i was up at 1;28 this morning because sleeping with this steel sling on is like sleeping with a cement mixer strapped around my...

My wife also tells me I am to much of something. I am not sure what that something is. :rolleyes: Right now my wife and our best friend are taking care of me. I want to see how long I can milk this. :p

actually pain kicked in last night which is why i am up posting at 2:00am using one hand while hooked up tp an ice machine in an oxicodone induced stupor :confused2:

So yesterday I had my left shoulder replaced (I may make a lot of typos) I have to wear that sling that keeps my arm a few inches away from my body 24/7 even sleeping with it. I love that hospital and wish I could rent a weekend there. I have no pain at all and am thinking of hitting it with...

I have to stay in the hospital over night. But I am kind of scared. I met my nurse. :astonished-face:

I am waiting to go to the hospital. They called and changed it from 7:00 to 9:00 am so I have time to do nothing. I actually watched a video of the shoulder replacement and I told my surgeon that if has a problem to wake me up so I can give him some pointers. He wasn't amused. :p I also may...

Thanks Jamie. :D

This morning after my 6:00am beach walk I did a little maintenance that needed to be done before my tomorrow morning surgery. Things I won't be able to do for a while. I noticed my skimmer water level was to low and I found the ozonizer almost clogged. That happens about every two months and...

Glue them back on with bathtub calk. They love that. :)

I don't know whats going on with my tank but it's a good thing. My inhabitants have always been healthy but after I eliminated the invasive sponge and the subsequent dino's and algae that resulted from it and I changed out 80 gallons of ASW and put in NSW, (That I have used for years) everything...

If I go away for 7 days, I make about 10 containers of food just in case I get eaten by a mantis shrimp while I am diving. :oops:

I got my fish food prepared for my surgery next week as I won't be able to use my left arm for a while. I also do this when I go away so my tank sitter only has to dump one in the tank every day. These are film containers. For anyone under 50, film was used in cameras before cell phones. It...

I only started one tank in my house 52 years ago and I still have it. I have started quite a few tanks in stores but I am not sure why so many people keep starting up new tanks. What is happening to the old tanks as I feel they are immortal. :rolleyes:

It's a shame when new hobbiests first start up a tank and see a little cyano, hair algae or diatoms they panic and come on these forums for advice and almost always are hit with a plethora of suggestions as to what chemicals or animals they should add to remedy something that is a natural...

Now that my tank almost instantly recovered from my massive sponge elimination and the Ugly stage it created that lasted about 5 months, the tank looks just like the Great Barrier Reef. Almost all the corals, even the ones that I thought were dead came to life and look fantastic. The water...

This was a true story and I think I posted it a year or two ago I remember being quite cold many times but once in particular sticks in my mind. It was 1970 and I was a Sargent in the Army in Colorado before I went to Nam. I did my jungle training in Colorado in the winter and in Colorado if it...
