Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Saturday is Flag Day so if you are a Patriot like I am, remember to fly your American Flag. I fly mine every day so it is easy for me and I just today ordered a new one. They get old and faded like I do so I bring the old ones to the American Legion, where they respectively recycle or destroy...
As we, or me anyway, get older, there are so many things that are not that important, interesting or needed anymore. For most of our lives we wanted or needed more money. Now I don't need more money and have enough. (much of my time now is spent taking care of my wife)
If you plan your life...
OOOhhhh NNNooooo. I just looked in my tank and virtually all the fish had spots..........
Then I cleaned my reading glasses, and all the spots went away. :eek2:
This guy is very hard to get a picture of. In the years I have had him, I took this just now, but I think he is mad at me for taking it. Maybe he is Pennsylvania Dutch.
I know they are ich magnets, but they don't know that. :biggrin:
These guys are much easier and usually sit long enough to...
Thanks Diana. She is much better today. The shots usually work for a week or two but they do not last as long as they used to so we are trying to get her a radiation treatment to numb the nerve.
My early beach walk was uneventful except I rescued this horseshoe crab. He, like so many of them...
Today I had to rush my wife to the Pain Mgt Doctor due to that Trigeminal Neuralgia. (the suicide pain)
Our Grand Daughter is coming tomorrow with her friend to spend a few days and my wife can't function with that pain in her face. She got 3 shots in her face which hopefully will calm it down...
They seem to be some sort of amphipods but they don't look like the ones I normally collect. They have a slight tail. I threw them in my under gravel filter. :biggrin:
I did my beautiful walk on the beach this morning to watch the sunrise.
About half way through the walk I see this small plastic container on the sand just past the surf mark. I noticed "things" swimming in it so I looked close at it and couldn't figure out what these creatures are. I didn't...
My hair algae issue is still going away but it is taking a few months. This Long Island Sound algae is pretty tough and you can't even get it off the rocks with a wire brush. I tried.
However, it is abating slowly, unfortunately, so are my soft corals, because I have limited feeding, no water...
No, but those are nesting near my friends house on the south shore of Long Island. They live on top of lighting platforms in a grass stadium and I assume there is some heat coming from the lights in the winter as there are thousands of those parrots and they are very noisy. The people living...
So far, the thing seems to perform pretty well. It's a little longer than I would have liked, so it is hard to fit into my Jeep Renegade, even folded up, but it fits in my Jeep Compass better.
So, 15 days ago, I ordered a motorized chair for my wife from Amazon. It was supposed to get here in 3 days. So, after 5 days, I started tracking it. It started off in Tennessee. Then it went to California. Keep in mind I live on the eastern end of Long Island, so California is kind of the...
Weird day. After I found that sea lion, I rescued this very large horseshoe crab that got stranded up side down on the beach. Then while driving to the dentist I ran over this yellow bird. He didn't go under the tires, just under the car. I made a U Turn, picked her up and carried her to the...
Interesting beach walk this morning. I came across this dead sea lion. It seems to be about a thousand pounds. I think it had ich
Also three jetties that I have never seen before even though I walk there every morning
And these Alien Artifacts
Today is Memorial Day. I know we are all going to bar be cue and be with friends, but lets remember why we can do those things and remember our fallen brothers.
I teach my Grand Kids and I hope some of it sinks in.
My morning was spent with my deceased Brothers at Calverton National Cemetary which is the largest Veteran Cemetary in the US. There are over 275,000 Veterans buried there.
I'm the good looking one on the right.
Thank God for the Boy Scouts who placed many of the flags. Next week I will go...
