So this morning like every morning I walk down to the beach about a half mile away. I have to go down this big hill and at the bottom, just before the stairs there is this house and the guy has this big, vicious dog. He sometimes lets it run loose and poop all over the place including the...

Thank God, we rescued that second downed pilot in Iran. What a fantastic Easter present for him and his family. I am so happy. :biggrin:

My Lionel trains were all iron and weighed a ton. I still had the original book that showed all the trains and I also have some of the boxes they came in

I just sold my Lionel Trains. They were 77 years old. My parents got them for me when I was born. The entire set in 1948 sold for about $100.00, and I just got $100.00 for them. A great deal, if I must say so myself. :biggrin:

This urchin was as big as a ping Pong Ball when I got it a couple of years ago. My last one croaked after about 10 years. Now this one is almost 11" wide.....Or tall,,,,, depending on how you are looking at it.

In 2011 I see I posted this then: Now I think my tank is 55 years old. (it could be 54, I am not that good at math ) Now I will say that I will call it a big success if it lasts another 45 years when it will be 100 years old. :) Of course, many people will still say I am lucky because I...

My morning walk was un-eventful, dull and raining so I didn't take a picture. If you want to see what it looked like, just look at this picture from last year, but before you do, smear "Vaseline" on your screen and spray sea water from your reef on it. Thats what it looked like today. :biggrin:

As I was sitting here enjoying a tuna fish sandwich with a side of shrimp cocktail, I was thinking about a thread I saw yesterday about how to euthanize a fish. Now I have been keeping fish since trillobites were the best clean-up crew, so I certainly don't want to see fish suffer, but I wonder...

Last year my book made about $650.00 and I donate all of it to Charity and post the receipts on my thread to show I don't use it for Banana bread or Quarantine tanks. I already posted the receipt from MS research and am waiting for the receipt from Wounded Warriors and I will post that one when...

She is fine today Diana. Thank God. :biggrin: She is watching "Mass" now on TV. We do go to church, but only a few times a year and she likes to go so now it is mostly on TV. :cool: I myself am not much of a church guy, even though I am a believer, just am not too much into the church...

My Grand Daughter in Taiwan. She is learning Mandarin. Here she is on the left And here 4th from the left

I originally had 3 of these Waspfish. About a year ago I lost track of one of them and don't know what happened to him. Then abut 6 months ago, another one disappeared and I never saw him leaving only one. This morning I went into my Mancave and the tank was still dark. I got my flashlight...

My granddaughter, on the right here, just went to Taiwan with her school. She is studying Mandarin. I tried to explain to her that it would be much cheaper if she just went to a Chinese restaurant. :biggrin:

OOOOohhhhh NNoooo. I just came into my workshop/man cave and looked at my tank. It was all cloudy so I couldn't see 2" into it and there were spots on everything. :eek2: I didn't know what to do. Then I realized my reading glasses fogged up when I came inside, so I cleaned them and all...
