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...

Yes, that's what I said. :biggrin:

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...

Maybe. I can't wait until they grow up. :triumphant:

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...

Diana, that's because you are a Patriot, as are your kids. I love it. :biggrin:

Today I am going to Calverton National Cemetery to remove all the American Flags we put on the graves last week. All 275,000 of them.

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.
