This morning like all mornings I went for my walk. It was dark, pouring rain, cold and windy but those conditions don't concern a real Man. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I put on my yellow, full rain gear and set out I started to see Earthworms and I like to collect them for my fish...

So yesterday was an exciting and expensive day. Our Daughter graduated college over 20 years ago and a few years ago went back to Fordham Law School and yesterday in Manhattan she was sworn in as a full-fledged lawyer. That part is great. But we had to go into Manhattan to see this big deal...

My 12 year old Grand Daughter is coming over on Easter and she will take care of it for me. :biggrin: When I went to grammar school I never had trouble with my quill pen. I miss those days. :oops:

Yesterday I wanted to print something on my printer. The thing is the one with the big ink tanks that last for your entire life. It ran for 2 years. I hit "PRINT" and it said, "it has the wrong paper". I have been using that same paper since Carter was President. Then it said something about...

We decided to go there the day before and sleep in a hotel. I searched the net for a hotel near by. It's not to far from Yankee Stadium. I find a place 3 miles from the university and "WAYS" said it would take 40 minutes to get there from the hotel. 40 minutes to go 3 miles is normal for the...

They never die. I tried to hire a bus load of Sumo wrestlers to sit in a school bus and run them over. But that just made the clownfish frisky and the Sumo wrestlers hungry. :rolleyes:

This Fireclown is a real pain, and I wish their lifespan were not so long. He and his mate are about 35 years old and very annoying, especially when they are spawning, And they are never "not" spawning. I was just looking at my tank and I heard this splashing. The larger one (I'm not sure if it...

Nothing bothers it. I don't think they taste good. :D

I wouldn't pay $50.00 for one (or almost any fish) but I was in a bad mood from having to drive a long way to a place that was closed. If he had two of them, I would have gotten both of them as I like fish in pairs. They have a short lifespan so It won't be with me for ling. But at my age, I...

I saw this thing on the news this morning that there is this military museum on Long island and they are having some event there so I went. It's a cold, rainy day and I figured I had nothing else to do today so I went. It's almost an hour away and when I got there there is a big sign out front...

Last week one of my Cheap Chinese lights croaked, so after I discovered I couldn't fix it, I bought a new one on Amazon. Today, another cheap Chinese light croaked so first I will take it apart to see if it is fixable. If I can't fix it I will order a new one. :(

Today, April 1st is the anniversary of the deadliest day in Vietnam in 1970 where we lost over 70 guys on that day alone and over 600 that month. That was the battle of Fire Support Base Ilingworth which I was in. It's also what my book is about.

NASA stole this idea from me. :biggrin: https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/space-station-too-clean-its-making-astronauts-sick

My Bangai Cardinals had babies. Spawning Bangai Cardinals is not a big Whoop because they, (and all healthy fish) do this all the time. Bangai Cardinal babies are rather large as compared to most salt water fish but I didn't catch them. I could not catch anything in my tank unless I take the...

I'm on a new kick now that I pursue in my little spare time. I made this Chartuterie board for cheese. I want to make a river table if I could find the time. I can't use another epoxy table because I already built two of them so this new one (If I ever build it) I will have to sell or give...

This came about because my last water change that I collected here in the sea in the Long Island Sound was full of fertilizer from all the farms and golf courses here. I find it fascinating, and it will all disappear in a few weeks leaving the water in fantastic shape. This is not the first...

The place has been there for 50 years and I have been going there almost that long. I get Yellow and green clown gobies for like eight bucks. Fisefish also.

Yesterday I went to the clean but expensive LFS near my wife's doctor. I need to kill an hour when I take her there so I go to the LFS and look like I will buy something but I almost never do. He is too expensive and the fish in the dirty store look just as good but a third of the price. The...

I have been so busy lately with my wife. We go to a doctor, PT, MRI, X Ray, CAT scan or strip club almost every day. OK, maybe we don't go to strip clubs every day. The last time I went to one was when they took me to one for my bachelor party 54 years ago. That girl must be about 80 now so...

I just took off the reaction tube on my DIY skimmer to clean it and I decided to look down the thing from the top. Near the top was completely clogged with a thick, black mud/slime. My skimmer is not built to take apart but the tube comes off so I had to get a brush and bend it a little so I...
