That 40 gallons of NSW water I added was the largest water change I ever did in my life that I remember. My tank is 125 gallons so there is probably about 90 gallons of water in there so that was almost half of the water. The seawater was 76 degrees so I just had to heat it up 2 degrees, but...

Last night there was a huge threat of thunder storms. As a matter of fact, my phone kept giving me this annoying noise with an announcement of the storm, flooding, lightning, meteorites, brimstone and everything else they could warn you about. I couldn't listen to the radio because it was all...

I have my car all packed up with empty containers to collect water in the morning, maybe do a little porgy fishing. I have enough storage in my Jeep to collect about 40 gallons (If I don't break a spring) My nitrates creeped up to about 30 and I would like to lower them to like 29...

You wouldn't find it unusual if you saw my bottles. You don't just throw in a bottle. This is one of the bottles that I "built" for my tank. Does it look natural? Or like a piece of PVC from Home Depot?

I didn't think of skipping a step, that would only be half the work. :rolleyes: Most of the stairs are up and out of the picture. They are a little steep but I "may" be able to do it twice. Not yet, but maybe soon. :D I just need the time.

This morning I felt really energized, probably because I only had one Grand Marnier last night before bed. So I figured I would do more exercise this morning. I felt like going to the beach, down and up those 165 steps but I also wanted to bike ride. Actually, like most people I hate to...

I haven't seen Christie yet but she does live near here and I have Oogled, I mean seen her in the past. I even seen Billy a few times. :rolleyes: I am Italian, Sicilian to be exact and we do eat a lot of great dinners. But we don't generally eat them in an apple orchard with a semi world...

Last night was fabulous. No, my Copperband butterfly didn't have babies and Christie Brinkley didn't knock on my door to borrow a cup of Instant Ocean salt. It was almost better than that. We went to a wine pairing with very old friends which I didn't really want to go to. I figured it...

Yes Diana. The inside was paper on top of wood and the paper deteriorated beyond recognition. It was so bad I vacuumed it out. I also ordered a picture of a "Lady" from the time period to replace the one that was stuck inside the lid. All those trunks had a picture of a Lady there. I found...

I just finished restoring this 160 Year old Steamer Chest. I think it came out pretty good. I used all the existing metal, wood, hinges, lock, latches etc but Had to buy some more cut nails. The entire thing was put together with about a thousand nails that were purposely to long and were...

That is gorgeous like a Supermodel fish. :D

Actually it is 13 months. :) Sponge I went into Petco today which I just found right next to a supermarket my wife shops in. I didn't even know they had salt water fish. They had a few anemic looking damsels and a triggerfish. If I needed such fish I would have bought them but I really went...

Yesterday I looked at my tank, I have been so busy that I rarely look at the thing unless I hear the crabs banging on the glass to get my attention. One "arm" on one of my SPS bleached. I figured I would test the water. The Alk was like 4 and the calcium was so low I couldn't make an Alka...

Today we went to Nikola Tesla's birthday party. Right near my house. No Really! they still have his workshop/laboratory and the pad where he had his huge Tesla coil that was supposed to give everyone in the world free electricity. Of course thats why they stopped funding him. Free is not a...

The inside of the chest smelled like "Old people.":confused: I sprayed it a few times with bleach and water, now it smells like Lotus Blossoms in the wind, with bleach. That belt sander is very old. It died last week and I had to re-condition it and solder a wire on to the brushes. I would...

The canvas and handles should get here in a few days. I will son varnish all the oak slats. It won't take more than a couple of days to finish it.

The girls had a great time on the boat and didn't want to come home. My wife had an accident though getting off the boat at the restaurant. We docked at the gas dock but it wasn't a floating dock so my wife had to step up about 2' from the boat to the dock. Her leg didn't make it and good...

WE got turkeys here like that. :D

Cool, what are those birds, Grouse? We have these here. There is no size reference but this thing is about as big as a school bus. :eek:

We don't have bear, moose or duck billed platypusses here which I am happy about. Bear especially. :cool:
