So I went away for 2 days and last night after I came home I found my male Mandarin dead. This is very unusual because I never find a dead fish and my fish don't get sick. I "think" I saw him eating a few days ago but I didn't notice anything weird with him as he was full bodied and smiled a...

Diana, my hermit crabs have canker sores older then you. :D

I moved it three times, the last move was 8 months ago. I moved 60 miles and transferred everything from my old 100 gallon tank into a new 125 gallon tank. The old tank was 40 years old and the front was very scratched. I wanted a larger tank anyway and that old one was built into a wall and...

I just finished my new motorized Steam Punk lamp. It has a "fire" inside and when you turn the valve handles, it winds the mechanism on the Grand Fathers clock and spins the gears and tiny bicycle chain for about 5 minutes. The right valve handle moves the gong hammer. It can be dimmed. Video

Yesterday we went to the City to see the Grand Kids. That was uneventful, but when we got home My package arrived. It was a strip LED light for over my kitchen cabinets. (not everything is for fish tanks) I ran the electric up there a few days ago (I know an electrician ) So I installed the...

We are in this new home and our tastes changed a lot since we were young during the Cretaceous period. We always had modern. I wanted my house to look like the StarShip Enterprise. I already look like Capt. Picard so what the heck. But now we are going for more industrial/Steampunk. We were...

Church Ladies With Computers.... They're Back! Those wonderful Church Bulletins! Thank God for church ladies with computers. These sentences (with all the BLOOPERS) actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: -------------------------- The Fasting &...

I should have done this myself because this is what happens when you hire someone. If you want it done right, you should do it yourself. The only reason I didn't do that is that I need two hands to use the saw to cut out my old knee and I also need two hands to put my fingers in my ears...

I just came back from the Knee guy and it seems only 1 or 2% of his patients get this. Guess which percent I am? He said it is rare and I got a bad case of it. Thats Great!!!. I wanted to be in the One percent with this. It seems that a ligament that runs along side your knee is rubbing up...

Tomorrow I have an emergency visit with my knee doctor. At this point I am supposed to be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or at least walk around a Hardware store looking for a nose ring. But after about 50 yards, the thing locks up and I start walking like Neil Armstrong on the...

I just fed my tank and unfortunately I have nothing to write. I wish something would have a spot or a black area, sucking air from the surface, tumor, strange growth from it's ear, Carpal tunnel syndrome, irritable bowel disease, something. But I got nothing. My mandarins are still fat and...

I was amazed they rescued that many

I don't have to much to report today except that I volunteered at the Long Island Aquarium yesterday (Atlantis) It was my first day volunteering. First they had me washing the sharks, then I painted murals on the sea turtles. OK, I didn't do any of that. I did have to stand by the sting ray pool...

I got nothing and my wife is still sleeping so I will re-post a trip I took on Spirit Airlines. If you don't want to read it, go back to sleep at it is 6:00 am here. I had to edit it a little as it may not have been PC enough and I don't want to get Tarred and feathered. Well since the last...

I collected more water today, not that I needed it but it was so warm I wanted to do something in the sunlight and didn't want to put on my Speedo to get a tan. I went down to the beach expecting it to be empty but almost all the parking spots were taken although no one was swimming. I had no...

That is so cool. :D

Yes I do. Maybe once or twice a month when I think about it. But it doesn't seem to matter much. My calcium is always about 440. Maybe it's my calcium kit that came in a wooden box with directions in Sanscrit. Today started out at 5 degrees and my titanium knee is letting me know it is not...

I just did something that I rarely do, I tested my nitrates and Calcium. My calcium is 440 and nitrates are 5. Not bad and I am surprised being I feed so much. But it is all new NSW from 7 months ago so I guess it is all good. :rolleyes:

I finished therapy for my new knee a few days ago but the Dr. said I have to go to the gym and use the incombant bicycle for exercise and try to get the leg to bend more. I kind of like it straight but he said it needs to bend if I want to walk. So I go to the gym with my wife who goes almost...

I just remembered a Viet Nam story. If I wrote it already just go and watch Oprah. We were on an LZ (Big clearing in the jungle) which is where I usually was and me, my Captain and a couple of other guys were talking and having a hot beer that we got from the Air Force. This guy comes up to us...
