This weekend was pretty good. We went with another couple who have been our good friends for over 40 years to a very small town in Vermont called Poultney. Don't look on a map. Our Daughter owns a vacation home there. Anyway we live on Long Island so we took the ferry to Bridgeport Connecticut...

Working on it.

I just got a great deal. I went into an LFS and got a bunch of acropora pieces about 6" long and a really nice gorgonian for $60.00 Of course I am covered in crazy glue and epoxy, but it was worth it. It's all in my tank and so far looks real happy. :cool:

I was up a little before 5 but I looked out the window and it looked like sheet metal so I didn't go outside. I waited until I could at least see my feet. :cool:

I'm back from my early morning Bike ride and I didn't get eaten by any deer. I did notice some of them being beamed up to a UFO though :oops: This was over the golf course across the street from my house. But I don't play golf.

It's 5:45 am and as soon as I can see a little light I will be taking by bike out and heading for the beach. I got to keep these old bones working and walking up and down a cliff, 176 steps is all I need. I can't believe with two bum knees I can still do that. The steps don't bother me as long...

Today we are going to this very calm, un occupied lagoon with some friends to relax. If it's low tide I will try to collect some mud, amphipods, seaweed and maybe snails. It's a beautiful day and we want to take advantage of it as long as the nice weather is around. I had a little argument...

My tank is doing great. My hippo tang didn't get ich, dropsy, mononucleosis or anything else as some of the tang police said he would get if I didn't quarantine him (God Forbid) He also never gets algae clips or nori. My watchman gobies will spawn soon and my Janss pipefish is so healthy he...

Today is the day the pilgrims left Europe to come here and screw up this country and start religious freedom. Of course they started to burn people as witches, excommunicate them if they texted in church and if they caught them chewing gum on Sunday, they would tie them up and dunk them in ASW...

A few weeks ago I built a Nitrate De-nitrifer out of a calcium reactor that I had laying around. I ran it for about 3 weeks and it turns 30 ppm of nitrate into zero in a few minutes. Today it's raining and the thing was in my way on my workbench so I installed it. I don't really have much of...

Today is our annual Cousins pic nic about 60 miles from here on a beach with a shelter and electricity. We have been doing this for about 45 years as my wife has a very big family. Many of us old generation went to the big reef tank in the sky but there are plenty of Kids, Grand kids and...

I get my water from there at high tide and I can collect amphipods at low tide. But I get much more amphipods in Peconic on the other side of the north fork on Long Island in this lagoon.

They are only knees. Not a big deal. I can still walk these stairs and you can only see half of them here. It was a little windy on my beach walk this morning and it wasn't low tide so no collecting. My house is up over that cliff.

I need another knee. The new one is still rather painful and I still can't kneel so I won't go to Church. I also can't walk to good but I get there. I am still faster than my wife but not much. By the time I am 80, I should be sprinting like Angela Jolie in Laura Croft Tomb Raider. :rolleyes...

. A few Jeeps ago we got a new Cherokee home and the first day the thing died right in the middle of a busy street. My wife was driving and she called me. There was no lights, no engine noise, no nothing. The car had 4 miles on it so I said call Jeep. :rolleyes: A truck came and they...

I took the boat out for a test sail and it runs perfect. Last week one engine got stuck at a restaurant and it was hard to diagnose because after I got it started it ran fine. So I replaced the spark plugs, gas filters and re built one exhaust manifold. I ran it full speed for a couple of miles...

My fish always mock me. The light didn't even come on yet and they are mocking me. Now I am going down to the boat to put the thing back together. :)

After I came home from taking apart the boat I came home to relax. My wife went to her friends house so it was nice and peaceful. I poured a nice glass of Grand Marnier and laid on the couch. I asked Alexa to put on peaceful rain sounds and I almost drifted off to sleep. Then the rain sounds...

I got the riser off the manifold and it is not as bad as I figured it would be. It was clogged but most of it I was able to get out with a screwdriver and a powerwasher. This one was getting very hot and thats why. I can probably get five more years out of it. The other three risers don't...
