OK, when you stop laughing, I will explain why I think a reverse undergravel filter is the best thing since doorknobs. First, I will explain what a RUGF (reverse undergravel filter is. Right after WW2, the aquarium hobby came into being in earnest. Our troops came home from the war, and they...

Thank you Ezve. I didn't think anyone but Diana followed me but I do turn around often on my beach walks to see if anyone is following me. No one usually is except pretty girls who quickly run the other way :confused: There are occasionally fascinating women who want to "meet" me. A few...

When I got married we moved into my wife's Mothers house for a while because she had a two family house with a tiny apartment just big enough for my fish tank. Then we bought our own house so she didn't move far. My wife and I grew up a few blocks from each other and our Mothers became best...

I get into bed about 10:30 or 11:00, but I get up about 4:30 or 5:00.........And I am retired 20 years :biggrin: I don't know why there aren't any stores open then. I can't do much, so I lie around and invent or build something "quietly". This morning, after my walk, I baked muffins from...

My morning beach walk was uneventful but I did see a woman coming out of the water. An amphipod won't live in that water, and it kills eagles and seagulls, I won't put my toe in it. :sick: But on a good note, I did see a Supermodel who walked past me. :) I almost never see anyone there...

Thank you. I post the pictures that seem to come out good. 5,742 of them come out lousy. :eek2: I like this one and don't even remember how I took it. It is right outside my door. I just like to take pictures. 5

For the almost 9 years I have been living here about 100 yards from the sea I have walked on the beach just about every morning even if like today it is pouring rain, 4 degrees or the beach is covered in 3' of snow. I have always lived fairly close to the sea on Long Island and although I...

Yesterday I went to two LFSs. One clean one with the ridiculously high prices where I only buy food and one filthy one where he practically gives fish away for free. Of course the filthy one is my favorite and is where I buy my fish. (I don't have to worry about stupid diseases or any of that...

It is also raining here today

Nothing exciting on my early morning walk. Kind of a cloudy, overcast day.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

I wimped out and went to the hospital because my headache got worse, and my ribs are also not in a good mood. I explained how I did it, and they are probably still laughing. :p I went to the emergency room in the local hospital, and they said they were going to give me a CAT scan. I didn't...

Yesterday we had to leave our neighborhood so they could coat the asphalt around our houses and street and we couldn't walk on it, drive on it or even look at it. (It came out pretty lousy and just looks like they sprayed some thin water color black paint on the surface which I could have done...

This small redfish I have no recollection of buying and I never see him in the light. Only here in the dark before the lights come on. He is hanging out with one of my Dwarf Red Waspfish who I also see and feed just after the lights come on before the other fish get up. My Daughter got me...

We have to be out by 8:00 am today as they will again try to asphalt the asphalt in front of my house and all the other houses here so we won't be able to get into our properties. My fish will have to feed and occupy themselves. :cool:
