Being our Daughter has a broken arm and wrist, our Grand Daughter Greta came to visit for a few days. We took her to dinner but she is allergic to just about everything. The only things she can eat are over $25.00 a pound.

The beach behind my house is all rocks like all Long Island Sound beaches. I would mush rather walk on a rocky beach than our south shore beaches which are just pure white sand which I find very boring. You never see anything interesting on a clean sandy beach although swimming is probably...

This morning before 6:00 was so beautiful that after my walk I took my Jeep on the beach and collected 50 gallons of NSW. It was so clear and calm that I don't have to strain out seaweed or do anything to it except heat it a little and added a little ASW as it is a little weak like 1.014...

This morning

Good Morning. Walk to the beach Who knew horseshoe crabs could jump? Portuguese Man O War "jellyfish" spawning.

Paintman. All those things used to be controlled by a simple vacuum hose. I once had to replace the heater core on a Cadillac. Probably in the 70s when they weighed as much as an M-60 tank. I had to take the front fender off along with half the front end. :confused2: It's disgusting...

I feel a rant coming so don't read this. I just go nuts when I see bad engineering. I love when I see something designed correctly. That is beauty to me. I can sit for an hour and just stare at a set of rear differential gears in the rear axle of a car. That design has remained almost...

MadReefer, I was a mechanic in 1968 and 69 for oldsmobile and I know what you mean (Thats the year Toronado came out and the Oldsmobile 442 was my favorite car) Everything came out with a regular phillip screwdriver. I think with a screwdriver and pliers I could take the engine out without...

So the parking light burnt out on my Jeep Renegade. Not a big deal and when I used to be a mechanic for General Motors I could change this in 30 seconds. Of course I was in my 20s then and much more limber. Now to stick my head under the car is much more of a challenge. To get to this...

I know that feeling well which is why I had 9 finger operations for it. But those surgeries don't last forever . Now I just take baths in Cortisone. :cool:

Foggy Morning walk. I don't know if that is the sun or the moon.

A couple of days ago I went to my pain manager Doctor. She is a very good Doctor and looks a Greek Goddess but of course that had nothing to do with me going to her. She is one of my wife's doctors and I just went to her through osmosis. I am very prone to trigger finger and had 9 of my...

Good Morning. I walked the beach this morning and disturbed some amphipods. I didn't collect any as I didn't want to put them in my pocket as they tickle. (I added a little blue to this because New York mornings near the sea are much more gray) :)

Since this is where I collect my water, maybe seagull poop is the secret. :oops:

This mornings walk was slightly interesting, but not much. It was a beautiful sunrise. AS I walked I came across what looked like an ancient campsite. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be and why it was so sloppy. Then I found out. I don't know who built it or drank all that...

This morning I collected and changed 40 gallons of water. I had to filter it because it was choppy and it rained hard last night about 2" so it was full of chopped up seaweed, bikini tops, truck tires and sand.

I have one and thats what I normally use when I am not in a hurry or when my shoulder doesn't work, like now.

I want to change some water before my shoulder surgery when I won't be able to do much of anything. :)

I haven't changed any water since February and I am not a big water change guy but I want to try to collect 40 gallons and change it tomorrow. The last change I filled the tank 100% with ASW. I don't like that stuff and want to start putting back NSW. I used the ASW to try to eliminate the...

My Morning walk. I live near the sea so it is often foggy. On my way there I spotted this big bull frog. Golf course . Foggy beach Then I noticed people living there.
