I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. We celebrated America's birthday from our boat as we usually do with good friends that we have had since high school. Anchored in Port Washington we could see the fireworks from New York Harbor, The Bronx and Connecticut as well as over our heads in...

That's a garden eel.

Happy Birthday America. :dance:

Tomorrow I am going for acupuncture. I have a very Manly degenerative disk and if you live long enough and do more than carry protest signs and text, you may also get these old people things. Anyway almost all of your nerves go right next to your disks which were actually a mistake when they...

It seems that some of my fish are living longer than they are supposed to, at least longer than I thought they were supposed to live. I don't keep records or remember most of the birthdays of the Supermodels but I seem to have my male pipefish for quite a long time. I think he outlived 2 or 3...

Thanks. The blue eyed one has brass teeth. I had to cut each one individually out of a sheet of brass, very time consuming as the thing has a lot of very tine teeth and I cut myself numerous times inserting them. I wanted teeth that were wider at the bottom and come to a very sharp point...

New SteamPunk "light thing" angler fish is completed. Now I need to know which one people feel is nicer so I can keep it, the other one will be sold at the art show. I can't decide. I am designing a porcupine fish but am still having some difficulties with the design.

I just had to do it today. I had to glue some corals back. I had 5 large pieces of montipora laying on the gravel and every hour, a crab or fish would turn them over so they were in the dark. For a couple of weeks I would just turn them over so they had light but I got tired of that and I had...

How is the new one coming along? It is 3/4s finished. I still need to finish wiring it, install the "nuclear Reactor and the base. Here it is next to the finished one.

I don't remember it but if there were no Supermodels, I can't imagine who wrote it. :)

So I went to my boat today and the first thing I notice is that the grass shrimp are swarming all over the place. That's great but I don't have time to collect shrimp. I open the engine hatch and spend a few minutes trying to figure how to bend myself down there in a position where I can...

I just came home from collecting in my favorite tide pool. I collected 55,372 amphipods give or take five. I dumped them in my tan with the associated mud, sticks, seaweed, snails, worms, barnacles and Godzilla larvae. Probably 73 diseases in there also. But my fish think they died and went...

I went down to my boat yesterday to install a pair of hatch lifts so I could lift the engine hatch cover without breaking my back. It needs to be opened a lot because the table is stored down there as well as the vacuum, some oil and spare food in case a Supermodel drops by. But that doesn't...

I think my male Bangai cardinal is finally going to die of old age. I really thought he would die six months ago with his mate but he is still looking great. But he stopped eating and that is the first sign of dying of old age. I will see how long he hangs on. I am thinking a week but I did say...

Happy fish

JRWOHLER, too many people are cringing when they read about dirt. A few weeks ago we were at a bar be cue at my friends house and my Daughter's friend had here baby there. I saw the baby on the grass eating grass and dirt so I told her Mother who is a school principal. She surprised me by...

This morning my wife and I were discussing how we lived when we were much younger and how the world has changed. My Dad and her Dad had retail stores. My dad had a fish market and just like her dad and everyone with a food market there was piles of saw dust on the floor. The cutting boards...

(Actually the girl who looked like a flounder did dump me, I guess that's because I look like a hermit crab. :( )

Today I got 2 new fish. One is something that is the size of a clown gobi but has a poisonous spine and is polka dotted. I forgot what it is. I also got a new Possum wrasse. Now out of the 25 or so fish I have probably 8 of them are hiders and I will only see them once a year around the...

I received the new copper toilet bowl float and I aged it last night because it comes shiny copper and that is not the look I am looking for. Now it has a nice patina on it with green streaks. I also have a much larger tesla globe which will be a quarter of the fish. I hope to build this one...
