I think I am going to change some water today. I haven't changed it in some months to eliminate a massive algae growth but it is almost gone now so I think it's time. I wrote to the EPA today because as I was trying to collect amphipods I have been noticing that there is absolutely no life...

I found out where black ich comes from in the sea. This rock.

It has been hot here and this week it is supposed to break some heat records. It has never reached 100 degrees in Montauk, Long Island, but it may in a few days. I have been looking but have not collected one amphipod this year. Now with the heat, I am hoping they arrive. This Thursday, it...

I should have figured this doctor was a little too young when he wrote on my chart, which was an Etch a Sketch with a purple crayon. All medications, no matter what they are for, make you drowsy. They do that because the doctors know the meds won't work so if you are asleep, you won't care...

I went to a Doc in the Box yesterday and saw a "Doctor". At least the "Nurse" introduced him as a doctor but he was about as old as my Grand Son who is 11. He was wearing an "Osh Gosh Be Gosh" shirt and drinking his coffee from a "drinky cup" with a straw. He looked in my mouth and nose and...

Dave, I don't have to go shopping for produce any more as I can harvest it from my tank. :biggrin:

Unfortunately, I have a big problem today. No, not my tank, that has an undergravel filter so nothing can go wrong. It's me. I have been kind of sick for the past week. I don't think it's anything important but I am coughing my brains out and can barely stand up. I also think I have a...

I have this Hippo a few years and he is one of the nicest Hippo's I have ever seen. Not a mark on him and he has never had nori. I never feed that to any of my fish because I never feed any dry foods to my fish. They eat live worms and LRS foods which is just a mix of seafoods. I also sometimes...

I know, we have 4 courts here and people play every day, even in the rain. A few years ago, I just thought pickles were in a jar. :biggrin:

I guess those were from last Christmas. He was here playing Pickleball with the adults. He has no fear and just asks if he can play. He was good, better than some of the people that play every day. We also have a horse rescue ranch near here. He loves horses. And pigs, goats, worms...

Happy Father's Day. YYyyaaaaaaaa :D I got my Grand Son here today.

On my beach walk this morning, I came across this rock configuration that was obviously erected by a creative Neanderthal 20,000 years ago. I am not sure how it lasted so long, and I'm also surprised that I have never seen it before, because I walk that section of the beach at least once or...

Diana, low tide this morning but not one amphipod. Maybe if I could lift this rock, I would have found some. :eek2:

Diana it is in the 80s today so I hope next week I will find some. :D

Good Morning. I didn't go walking this morning, My wife had a very hard time last night and I am just too tired. I woke up at 3:17 which seems to be my normal wake up time lately and it's hard to function with so little sleep. At that time I took some melatonin which usually allows me to...

Yes, that's what I said. :biggrin:

Saturday is Flag Day so if you are a Patriot like I am, remember to fly your American Flag. I fly mine every day so it is easy for me and I just today ordered a new one. They get old and faded like I do so I bring the old ones to the American Legion, where they respectively recycle or destroy...

As we, or me anyway, get older, there are so many things that are not that important, interesting or needed anymore. For most of our lives we wanted or needed more money. Now I don't need more money and have enough. (much of my time now is spent taking care of my wife) If you plan your life...

OOOhhhh NNNooooo. I just looked in my tank and virtually all the fish had spots.......... Then I cleaned my reading glasses, and all the spots went away. :eek2:

This guy is very hard to get a picture of. In the years I have had him, I took this just now, but I think he is mad at me for taking it. Maybe he is Pennsylvania Dutch. I know they are ich magnets, but they don't know that. :biggrin: These guys are much easier and usually sit long enough to...
