I just got back from bike riding and have to say, the roads here in farm/sea/ wine country are loaded with wildlife. About a mile or less away we have a horse rescue farm that takes horses that were either abused or are sick or near the end of their life and allows them to live out their days...

I do. It has a photograph on the inside of the lid of a Lady from that time period. Unfortunately I can't save it as it is deteriorating . I have a few pictures of ladies that were on the Titanic and I will use one of those to replace it.

I acquired this Steamer trunk from the 1890s (about the same year I was born) ans I am restoring it. I completely took it apart and it has over 400 nails in it. The nails are to long and in these trunks they hammered in the nails with a steel weight on the other side so the nails would get...

My wife is always nagging me to trim my eyebrows. When you get to a certain age, I guess gravity prevents your hair from growing on the top of your head. It can't quite make it there so it grows out of your nose, ears and your eyebrows. So I have this thing that I use to buzz my hair (it...

We had a great Fourth. And I hope everyone else did also. We had a big party in our driveway and invited all the neighbors. :D I did my "fireworks" that I make every year myself out of steel wool. :D

I was looking for Patriotic songs to play today at our Fourth of July party with the neighbors in front of my house and I came across this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msYPbjFC50w It is not really a Fourth of July song but I keep watching it and I can't stop crying. Mostly Veterans will...

David, thank you, I appreciate that. This thread started in 2011 but I have been around since 1911. :eek: Many of my stories are in the thread, If not, just make something up, preferably something that includes me and Christie Brinkley. :D Sponge. (I love that name) Watching a fish in a...

This morning about 5:15 I took my bike out for a ride. I like to go before the sun rises so I can see all the deer, rabbits, frogs, and Muskrat Sally's. We have loads of them. Then I came home and made a nice batch of blueberry corn muffins from fresh blueberries that grow up the block and...

Thanks, you should see my hair combing skills. :cool:

Last night this thing tried to carry my wife away. I lent him my hand truck. :eek:

Diana, I write them for you because I am sure there is no one else here. :D

Today we are going boating in this new lagoon I discovered here where the water is very shallow, just about to shallow to get my boat in but if it is not dead low tide, we will get in. Last week there was so many fiddler crabs that the noise was driving me crazy, it was like being in the middle...

So I was working on my workshop and I installed a door on a closet. It is very damp here so the thing swelled, sort of like my feet. I got out my trusty Craftsman belt sander that I think I got when I got out of the army in about 1970 or so. I have used this thing dozens of times for...

This weekend we have a full boat just to hang out in the lagoon where I collect so i will get more of those tiny fish to throw in my tank. The ones I have grew about 50% in a week so i think they are halibut. :eek: I hope they stay near the surface because if they get big and go behind the...

I have been putting in this "electric" fireplace. We moved to a Condo and I am not allowed to put in a real one. Besides I have no chimney. My last home had a real fireplace but I have to live with what I now have. All I have left to do on this is install the stone hearth at the bottom which...

Relax! Have Fun! It’s a Hobby! JUNE 3, 2015 BY PAUL BALDASSANO I realize that many of us take our aquarium keeping very seriously, but we have to put it in context and remember that it is just a hobby. A hobby, by definition, is something that gives us pleasure, not something that is necessarily...
