I often have to go out of town and with pipefish that only eat live newborn brine shrimp that is always a problem. I have a tank sitter that can feed the fish but I can't ask her to hatch brine shrimp every day and sit there while the pipefish eat for an hour so I designed this device which is...

Soon I will be going on a trip for a few days so I am working on an automatic brine shrimp hatchery to feed the pipes while I am gone. I have two designs I am working on and will use the best one, or both of them if they both work. The rest of the fish will be fine as they know how to open the...

My powerhead died so I put in one of my 40 year old pumps with a homemade strainer on it and it managed to eat one of my favorite multibanded pipefish. I hate when that happens. Now I screened the thing and tomorrow I will see if I can get another multibanded pipe. They are not easy to come...

My fish all seem to be doing very well except for the two bananafish. It is weird but they both have eye problems. One had pop eye in the left eye and one has it in the right eye. Fish can get along just fine with one eye and I could easily cure it if I could catch them, but that isn't going...

So I took the "Ladies" out for the moonlight cruise last night then dropped them off at my marina where they had dinner. It was Lobster night. I sat at the bar and ordered a hamburger. I wanted the Ahi Tuna burger but that was $22.00 so I went with the $18.00 hamburger. Yeah, I know. So the guy...

Here are some sights at the tide pool where I collect and just hang out. You kind of need a boat to get here and there is never anyone here. I have been going here for most of my life and I anchor just off here every weekend to party which is where we were an hour ago. Mud snails I could...

While they are checking my E Mail they could maybe answer some of them for me. My E mail may also confuse people as there is never anything important on there unless they want the recipe for linguini and clams or directions to a restaurant that serves clams on the half shell ;) I was a General...

I don't think so, I think they are Jibonies with devious minds. Like people who design car and boat engines. I was a mechanic for GM and I never hired anyone for anything but I constantly have to re-design all sorts of things for both the cars and boat because they just seem so stupidly...

The phone wasn't the problem, that was a Verizon upgrade and worked right away. They installed her aps and 200 pictures as well as her contacts. The problem was this Hot Spot thing that allows her lap top to work anyplace her cell phone works. It does not rely on wifi. We will try it out now on...

I don't care if it cost $10,000.00, I just want the stupid thing to work when I get it home without spending my retirement putzing with it.

This week I went to get my wife a new I Phone which is supposed to be smart. It's not as smart as it thinks it is. First of all a few months ago I went to a Verizon store and they told me she was not ready to upgrade until January of next year. But, for some reason they must think it is...

Somebody had to take the picture. And it was hard for them to walk there in their swim suits and high heels.

Sometimes I glue gun that outboard to my back so I can swim to my collection site faster. Here is a picture. I am squinting because the hot glue hurts when you apply it.

Yes, but Supermodels are cheaper to feed than amphipods.

I have a theory. I collected to many amphipods in the Long Island Sound so I am giving a few thousand away to someone who is coming tomorrow to take them, but in the meantime I am keeping them in a bare tank as I can't put them in my reef as it is overwhelmed with them already. I have to change...

My wife just saw this video and said, Wow, you look like a Moose. It is a Hero 3 camera and it only comes with a wide angle lens so I do look 50 lbs heavier. But I am not real skinny either way. And I am a Man, so who cares.

Today was a beautiful day so my wife and I went out with my friend and his wife to anchor where we always go a few yards off a tide pool in the Long Island Sound. I went to this spot yesterday and collected more amphipods that I could fit in my tank so I wasn't really collecting today. Just...

My wife is doing much better, thanks. She was out on the boat with me yesterday and is fine as long as we don't leave the harbor. She is not allowed to bounce around yet and probably not for the entire summer so I will be spending every boat outing at the tide pool which is fine with me. If I...

I am going back today but I can't handle any more amphipods. I will just check out the other life but I won't take any. I have been going there for many years and just like to study the life there.
