I want to give away my Watchman Gobi. He has gotten a little larger than I like in my tank and I think he ate all my yellow clown gobies as I am missing about 5 of them. I still have blue ones, black ones, green ones and a gray one but the yellows, which were smaller, are gone and he smiles a...

These beach walks early in the morning are my life. I go there just about every day in the summer and can look 5 miles east and west and almost never see another Human. Not that I have anything against Humans, but I worked in Manhattan most of my life and now I like the peace and solitude. It...

6:00 this morning on the beach I made an amazing discovery that will change history. As I walked looking for sea lions or horseshoe crabs in distress something rusty caught my eye. It was an oarlock most definitely from one of Columbus lifeboats. I realize history tells us that Columbus...

Dave, I had one in my last house. I even built a copper fountain for it. The copper didn't seem to bother the fish but I liked the sound. :biggrin:

I just changed some water because I haven't done it in some months and fron eliminating algae I was waiting for all ther nutrients to ebb. I checked the salinity in my tank to match what I was changing and noticed that my salinity was so low that I could have kept kissing gouramies, Koi and...

I think I am going to change some water today. I haven't changed it in some months to eliminate a massive algae growth but it is almost gone now so I think it's time. I wrote to the EPA today because as I was trying to collect amphipods I have been noticing that there is absolutely no life...

I found out where black ich comes from in the sea. This rock.

It has been hot here and this week it is supposed to break some heat records. It has never reached 100 degrees in Montauk, Long Island, but it may in a few days. I have been looking but have not collected one amphipod this year. Now with the heat, I am hoping they arrive. This Thursday, it...

I should have figured this doctor was a little too young when he wrote on my chart, which was an Etch a Sketch with a purple crayon. All medications, no matter what they are for, make you drowsy. They do that because the doctors know the meds won't work so if you are asleep, you won't care...

I went to a Doc in the Box yesterday and saw a "Doctor". At least the "Nurse" introduced him as a doctor but he was about as old as my Grand Son who is 11. He was wearing an "Osh Gosh Be Gosh" shirt and drinking his coffee from a "drinky cup" with a straw. He looked in my mouth and nose and...

Dave, I don't have to go shopping for produce any more as I can harvest it from my tank. :biggrin:

Unfortunately, I have a big problem today. No, not my tank, that has an undergravel filter so nothing can go wrong. It's me. I have been kind of sick for the past week. I don't think it's anything important but I am coughing my brains out and can barely stand up. I also think I have a...

I have this Hippo a few years and he is one of the nicest Hippo's I have ever seen. Not a mark on him and he has never had nori. I never feed that to any of my fish because I never feed any dry foods to my fish. They eat live worms and LRS foods which is just a mix of seafoods. I also sometimes...

I know, we have 4 courts here and people play every day, even in the rain. A few years ago, I just thought pickles were in a jar. :biggrin:

I guess those were from last Christmas. He was here playing Pickleball with the adults. He has no fear and just asks if he can play. He was good, better than some of the people that play every day. We also have a horse rescue ranch near here. He loves horses. And pigs, goats, worms...

Happy Father's Day. YYyyaaaaaaaa :D I got my Grand Son here today.

On my beach walk this morning, I came across this rock configuration that was obviously erected by a creative Neanderthal 20,000 years ago. I am not sure how it lasted so long, and I'm also surprised that I have never seen it before, because I walk that section of the beach at least once or...

Diana, low tide this morning but not one amphipod. Maybe if I could lift this rock, I would have found some. :eek2:

Diana it is in the 80s today so I hope next week I will find some. :D

Good Morning. I didn't go walking this morning, My wife had a very hard time last night and I am just too tired. I woke up at 3:17 which seems to be my normal wake up time lately and it's hard to function with so little sleep. At that time I took some melatonin which usually allows me to...
