When I was a mechanic for Oldsmobile I was able to take customers cars home on the weekend to try them out to see if they had rattles or stalled. In those days we were real Men and spent our time looking for girls, like real men did for 4 million years. Now Sissy, men just text or go on sites...

I finished installing my brakes today. It was a beautiful day so I decided to do them outside in the sun instead of in my garage. I took off the wheels and of course it started to rain....Hard. It's a good thing I am a Veteran and the rain doesn't bother me.....Much. :confused: I also...

I always seem to be dealing with Jibonies. I swear I don't know how some people stay in business. As I said, I needed front brakes so I jacked up the front of the car and took off the wheels. Then I went to "Auto Zone" which is the closest place to me to buy them. In my old neighborhood I...

I went to an LFS yesterday with a pocket full of money, and I got nothing. No one has anything worth buying, it's all the same boring things. Yellow tangs, copperbands, wrasses, but nothing unusual and almost no corals. I have way more corals than this store has. He told me that on Sunday...

My wife and I were cleaning out pictures to give to our Daughter and I found one of my Gangsta pictures probably from 15 years ago. (Maybe 20) My wife was and still is a Supermodel. On another note, I had a flood. Luckily it was RO water. The bucket that is hanging from my ceiling that...

I think it says, "If I can't buy it, fix it or mow it, it must not be important. But that picture is a few years old and I am not sure I still have that shirt. :cool:

My Biggest, oldest, coolest coral bit the dust. Or substrate. I don't know why as I didn't play any RAP music and my collection of Nancy Pelosi pictures are not in view of the tank. :rolleyes: I have 3 other corals of the same type that are growing up the walls and reaching into my bathroom...

I built a new Steam Punk Lamp. This one is a floor lamp. My Daughter gave me this for Christmas because she knows I like to build things It's an Autoclave from the turn of the century so dentists can sterilize things. It was all tarnished and rusty. Now it is re purposed and has flame...

The one I pictured was cordless. I also have those that you pictured, but they are from the 40s or earlier. :)

Maybe, but it takes a long time to drill holes with them. :rolleyes:

I have this very old DeWalt 1/2" hammer drill and it was made in America so I don't want to part with it. I dropped it many times off the top of 8' ladders and it survived. But lately the clutch has been slipping and it got so bad that I couldn't use it any more. The clutch mechanism is stupid...

Maybe that's why my nose is falling off. :confused:

Actually my Daughter is in the Caribbean now on a private Island and Doogie is there also. How's that for a coincidence. :D I am taking my special "jumping juice" that I invented for my wife's MS pain. It worked on her and MS pain is probably a lot worse than Sissy fake knee pain. :cool...

CRASH'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''. No, not my tank, don't be silly, I have an undergravel filter so my tank don't crash. It was my knee that crashed. I went tomy knee surgeon for a tune up on my new knee which has not been working well and I am not up to my 20,000 mile check up. The thing...

I bought a new power washer for my new house because my old one was gas powered and much to big for this new place. So I took the thing out of the box and had to assemble just a few little things. I decided to read the directions because it has a couple of dials on it that I didn't know what...

Now I am in Baiting Hollow LI. It is right next to Riverhead in Suffolk sometimes called Calverton.

Come on over. :)

One big problem with some Quarantined tanks. This is not a debate on weather you should quarantine or not, but rather IMO a big problem in quarantine or hospital tanks. In an effort to minimize chemical and drug absorption we generally shy away from real calcareous rock and prefer to use...

I don't care about the show one way or another. It's a show, you can switch channels. But I volunteer at the Long Island Aquarium (very rarely, OK once) and they have a nurse shark there. It is about 8' long. It was put in a home tank as a baby of a cast member of Saturday Night Live. (I...

Working on my new Steam Punk floor lamp. The base is a turn of the century Auto Clave that dentists used to sterilize equipment. It needs a lot more work but it is getting there.
