My morning walk was not too eventful but I did help this fella across the street. They are endangered here and I only see one about every two years as they don't cross streets well. I rescued two horseshoe crabs on my way out. One was back on the sand on my way back so I threw him out into...

I guess you don't do a lot of fishing. :biggrin:

I don't know if this link will work but my wife is now more famous them me. She is in a commercial for a cleaning service that was taken in our home. Our small condo looks much larger in this video because they used one of those lenses, they use to sell houses where your tiny home looks like a...

I have so many earthworms now that I am letting some go back to the soil. I have a one gallon bucket of dirt and I added a few worms that I found on the street after a rain. I feed them banana peels about once a week and I got hundreds of worms. The smaller ones I can feed to my waspfish whole...

One of my Janss pipefish is still doing well but he is very difficult to feed because he (or she) only stays in a cave in the back of the tank in the dark so I have to target feed him there. My last Janss Pipes also would only eat frozen mysis and nothing else and I had that one for 7 years...

Homesteading for Health. There are those who talk the talk, and those who walk the walk. Over 50 years together, still in love, and still frisky. And, back in the day, they all said we were too young. They were wrong. The above photos were from a photo shoot yesterday for an article in...

I checked out the tank today, and I have amphipods swimming all over the place, under the rocks, and in my UG filter. The fish are smiling so much that I may have to get them plastic surgery to make their face bigger to fit their smile. :p

just came back from hunting amphipods on the beach at low tide and I got thousands. I also got a lot of larger swimming "things" that I have no idea what they are and hundreds of tiny snails. It all went in my tank, mud and all so if my tank crashes, I will have to get new hobby. :blue:

We threw a surprise moving away party last night at a seaside restaurant. Our friend lived here for 40 years and now is moving to Florida. She rented there on Hutchinson Island for 10 years but now is going permanently. We will miss her. My wife and I organized it.. We will miss her. Yes, we...

I am not sure if I can collect today. My wife was in terrible pain last night so I am waiting for her to get up to see how she is today. Mornings are usually better. It is supposed to rain today which normally triggers the pains. MS is a very sucky disease. :confused:

I am so happy. On my beach walk this morning at low tide I lifted some rocks and they were loaded with amphipods. They have been totally gone for 2 years and for some reason, now they are back. Tomorrow morning I am going down there with a bucket and collect a few thousand to throw in my tank.

DaveK, I am starting on the Oak Slat, lighted wall. That should really make it Pop. I am figuring where I am going to hide the transformer for the lights. :D

I have been re-doing our guest bathroom. I hate builder stuff and after 9 years I tore it out. I don't like anything anyone else has or anything you can buy in Home Depot or a furniture store, so I have to build it myself. This was the original vanity and the hole I made in the wall for the...
