    Feed your fish

    OK I got a theory. Not a very good theory, but a theory none the less. I had an epiphany, that's an idea. I was looking at my tank last night and something hit me. I mean, after my wife hit me. I read all the time of the problems, diseases, fish dying (or going off to college) water...

    Can anyone reccomend a miter saw?

    I also like DeWalt and most of my power tools are DeWalt. I used to do a lot of woodwork but not so much any more. If anyone wants this real cheap, let me know. I have a much smaller one and rarely use this one any more and I need the space. It's on the table like it shows. I love the thing...

    Majano Wand or High powered laser for aiptasia removal

    Of course I am partial to the Majano Wand being I invented and patented the thing. Dance Last year we came out with a Mini that is about 6" long for hard to get places. But there is also the laser and filefish.

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    Sheer pins allow the manufacturer to build a much weaker machine because the pin will break before the machine. When I see sheer pins I cringe. Electric start is also silly as the machine should start on the first or second pull. But I think they all have electric start weather you want it...

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    OK so I picked up a new Ariens Snow blower made in Wisconsin. It looks like a nice machine but no where near as well built as my old one but I guess nothing would be. The first indication of a problem is they give you 2 sheer pins. If you don't know, a sheer pin is a bolt that is the weakest...

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    I called Ariens, they have a distributer walking distance from my house. No rush as I hope to not need it until next winter. I also wrote them a little while ago to see if they had any older ones laying around with an American engine because they just switched to foreign engines a couple of...

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    I checked into it. 3 years ago they used American engines, but no more. I called them. If I can find an older Ariens machine with an American engine, that would be perfect.

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    My snow blower finished college, moved out and got married. I need to wait 16 more years for this one to ripen enough to shovel snow.

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    I know why. Because there are very few people any more that are willing to buy American items any more which is the reason they are expensive and those companies go out of business because we can't compete overseas. Of course now all those jobs are now overseas so their economy is booming...

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    Harbor freight is just to cheap and to Chinese for me. But it looks like a nice machine. I like the industrial look to it. This time I want really big wheels that I will put chains on. Mine has wheels much to small and I end up pushing it a lot.

    Oh No, my snow Blower died

    Oh No, my snow blower croaked and I can't fix it. AAAHHHHHH. The machine is about 38 years old and I used to use it commercially so it has an enormous amount of tough hours on it. I was using it yesterday on our foot of snow, on top of our other foot of snow and I heard this crack. The thing...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I eat fish almost every day but they are dead before I eat them. I talk to them about my old girlfriends and bore them to death. Then I eat them. But the fish in my tank live long and prosper and are very lucky because almost all of them are spawning. So my fish know life's pleasures while I am...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    These razor shrimpfish I added are extreamly cool but I doubt they will live long. They eat very well but only live new born brine shrimp and for the last two months there has been a problem with brine shrimp eggs. They are very hard to find and the ones I have have a very low hatch rate so I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have a leather coral that is so old I can't even imagine when I got it. It is not looking to good and is kind of leaning over. I am not concerned about this because this is normal coral wars and they come in cycles. Something in the tank is exuding a substance that the leather coral does...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We have friends there with a boat so we had plenty to do. I am not sure what else there is to do but eat. All the restaurants are on the water so we had a great time.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We came home from Key largo 2 weeks ago and I couldn't find my male blue striped pipefish. They usually don't survive when I go away as I need to feed them every day. Even though I made an automatic brine shrimp hatchery and feeder. I started to doubt my feeder design and figure it really...

    Today started out normal

    Today was another interesting day. Don't you just love these days? 5:00 this morning my 2 1/2 year old Grand Daughter crawls into our bed. We are watching her for a couple of days. I look out the window and there is 6" of snow. Not bad considering they predicted an inch so it was right on...
