I almost finished the 3 lights for over the Island in my new Island kitchen. These are wine barrel hoop lights. This is one of them I built for a few bucks. This is one that sells for $120.00 I will start on my wine barrel hoop dining room light.

Yesterday we went to the east end of Long Island to the wineries, vodka distillery and my new home to see how it is coming along. I wanted to take more pictures of the beams and rafters for when I move in and change everything around. I brought my containers to collect 20 gallons of water...

I thought you would.

Now don't go making fun of my grand kids Christmas present. :rolleyes:

My Grand Kids, Greta and Teddy wanted to buy me something for my Birthday so our Daughter took them to a LFS where they got me this little sunken ship that bubbles come out of. They were all excited to give it to me and to them this was the most important thing I could have. So now, every time...

You too Diana. :biggrin: WE just got home from out Kids/Grand Kids in Manhattan and I just started to play with my "toys". I also had to feed my fish because they have not eaten in a few days. But they get over it. :D We all went to this little church in Lower manhattan which is supposed to...

It was great this morning. We went out to breakfast like we do on Sundays, then to the Italian store to get some last minute stuff like shrimp cocktail to feed 40 people. It is so nice to see so many people out shopping and making preparations for my birthday tomorrow. It makes me all tingly...

MarK, I hope you have a pleasant experience at Point Pleasant. Yes, I also have a Grand Son. Here is Teddy.

We are surrounded by malls but I have not been in one in 20 years. This wasn't a mall, just a store in a small shopping center next to Sears. :cool: I never went to a Toys R Us or a Kohls and don't even know what they sell there. :rolleyes: I got her mostly gift certificates for hair, nails...

She certainly does. I am going to be with here Christmas then her and her brother will stay with us for a couple of days. I was looking at what I got my wife for Christmas and I decided that it wasn't enough so I figured, stupidly, that I would go to a store and get her something else, 3 days...

She turned into one of these.

Thank you, but thats Greta. I know it is hard to tell at that age and with that hat on. She is 5 now but I like that picture. I just completed the biggest water change I ever did in the life of the tank. It was difficult because I am not 20 years old any more and for some reason, water keeps...

Diana, this Manly man also doesn't like to do that any more but in my younger, more manly days it was no problem and I could carry fifty gallons on my back (in my dreams anyway). Merry Christmas.

Marc-C, Lemme answer that as a Dapper kind of guy. If you have one of those Sissy..... I mean quarantined tanks you need to worry about silly things that some not really Manly men don't worry about. Parasites will not be in the seawater now because parasites are Girly things and afraid of the...

I just collected some Atlantic water and I am thawing out. now. I collected 15 gallons because thats all I care to carry and I was getting frostbite. I tested the water for nitrate which is zero and the salinity is a little low but that reading doesn't mean much now because the water is about...

I will Diana. I am mixing up water now and planning a trip to collect. My new home is right on the Sound and although I went out there yesterday, I need another excuse to go again. :D

Unfortunately I think I will have to do another big water change and I just did one not very long ago. I don't know what my nitrates are but they are way up there due to too many fish and I want them spawning. But I am sure I am feeding to much and due to my impending move, I have been...

You can see the bite mark in the middle of him. It healed nicely and his color may return as it is much bluer now then it was yesterday.

My bitten up bluestripe pipefish seems completely healed. He has a scar that goes through his beautiful blue stripe so now his bluestripe looks like Morse Code but I think he feels well and keeps (stupidly) taunting the much larger Janss Pipefish who has absolutely no sense of humor. Fish in...

Diana, I am married to an Italian Girl. I know all about it. :D
