    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yes that is what I have and I have known about the frost proof valve for a long time. Where the thing is located, it is just so much easier to put in a ball valve in the house. My home is stone and to put in that valve I would need to get up into a place above the foundation which is 18"...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    As I was feeding the fish tonight I noticed a pipefish that I thought I lost a couple of weeks ago. It is a very plain looking pipe that crawls around the bottom like a dragon faced pipe. I got him at Aquarium Village my favorite store. He is crawling around hunting, and apparently finding pods

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today is a beautiful day so I figured I would powerwash the eaves of the house. To do that I had to turn on the hoses outside that I had off all winter. I tried to turn on the valve inside my house for the hose and it wouldn't budge. That figures, I never turned off this valve before but this...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am having a hard time keeping all my fish fed because I just have too many. You know that feeling when you go into a LFS not intending to buy anything. You promise yourself you won't buy anything because you just don't have the room. You swear to yourself you won't buy anything. Then you...

    Any mechanics???

    I said battery cable because it seems he can get low current things to work and the front windows, not the rear. I don't think there is one fuse for the rear windows that would also control the ignition, locks, key fob etc. Of course you would have to see the wiring diagram for that but the...

    Any mechanics???

    I am not a mechanic any longer but was one for General Motors many moons ago. That sounds like a loose, dirty or bad battery cable as you are getting very high resistance from the battery. A tripped breaker or blown fuse will get no sound from the fuel pump and no windows working, not just...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    No, I moved it to my new home in about 1978. I put everything in garbage pails and took it with me the 9 miles to my new house. It has been here ever since.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Early this morning I got out my flashlight and looked at the tank before the lights came on. I normally get up way before the rest of the world does and nothing is open so I look at my tank. I usually will see things swimming or floating by but it is so fast that I rarely get a chance to see...

    Car (Jeep) buying help please

    Looks nice, too many miles on it IMO. That kind of mileage is soon going to necessitate some major engine work if it doesn't already need it. With cars of that era up to now if they burn any oil it is not easy to tell. It used to be easy because you could see the smoke coming out of the...

    Car (Jeep) buying help please

    I have had a similar Jeep and about 8 others since 1972. I have one now and all of those old Jeeps wander. My first one (1960 Willys) I could hardly drive on the Highway because of that. They all also rust. The problem on hard turning is the big tread of those tires hitting the frame as the...

    Still practicing. I am trying to get very clear, sharp pictures but so far I have not mastered that. I took these on Macro or Super Macro with the lens right on the glass.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This morning before the reef lights came on I decided to look in the tank for a new slug just to see what it was doing. It was gliding along the front glass looking for it's meal of spaghetti worms which unfortunately is the only thing it eats and won't touch real spaghetti or anything else as...

    The course explains how to take pictures of Supermodels. But not fish tanks. Unless of course the tank belongs to a Supermodel. :p
