On this mornings walk I encountered this Heron. She was just standing there but didn't let me get close. I wanted to get a close up because she reminded me of one of my old girlfriends. But just like my girlfriend, as I got closer, she flew away.

I'm glad you like it. It is built in Florida but everyone wants it produced in China for less money. The manufacturer raised the price every year and now it is no longer profitable so we think we found a new American manufacturer but if it has to be made overseas, I will not allow my name to...

If anyone is missing an 18" piece of a dock,, I found it. :D

It's a beautiful morning so I went out at 5:30 to watch the sunrise out of the sea. That never gets old. Interestingly, in the background of that picture where you see that last hill go into the water, there are 5 WW1 shipwrecks half way up the beach. They were not military ships and now...

This morning like yesterday it is cool and windy. Not great weather to go amphipod collecting but I went anyway because the rocky coast is on my morning walk. I only go walking at about 6:00 am and at that time no one will see this fish Geek walking around with a pail turning over rocks like a 5...

She took a selfie We took her blueberry picking.

This morning on my beach walk it was very windy so the sea was rough. These horse shoe crabs have been on Earth for 100,000,000,000 years and they haven't yet learned not to go into shallow water on a windy day where they will get thrown up on the beach and their tail spine will be useless to...

Being our Daughter has a broken arm and wrist, our Grand Daughter Greta came to visit for a few days. We took her to dinner but she is allergic to just about everything. The only things she can eat are over $25.00 a pound.

The beach behind my house is all rocks like all Long Island Sound beaches. I would mush rather walk on a rocky beach than our south shore beaches which are just pure white sand which I find very boring. You never see anything interesting on a clean sandy beach although swimming is probably...

This morning before 6:00 was so beautiful that after my walk I took my Jeep on the beach and collected 50 gallons of NSW. It was so clear and calm that I don't have to strain out seaweed or do anything to it except heat it a little and added a little ASW as it is a little weak like 1.014...

This morning

Good Morning. Walk to the beach Who knew horseshoe crabs could jump? Portuguese Man O War "jellyfish" spawning.

Paintman. All those things used to be controlled by a simple vacuum hose. I once had to replace the heater core on a Cadillac. Probably in the 70s when they weighed as much as an M-60 tank. I had to take the front fender off along with half the front end. :confused2: It's disgusting...

I feel a rant coming so don't read this. I just go nuts when I see bad engineering. I love when I see something designed correctly. That is beauty to me. I can sit for an hour and just stare at a set of rear differential gears in the rear axle of a car. That design has remained almost...

MadReefer, I was a mechanic in 1968 and 69 for oldsmobile and I know what you mean (Thats the year Toronado came out and the Oldsmobile 442 was my favorite car) Everything came out with a regular phillip screwdriver. I think with a screwdriver and pliers I could take the engine out without...

So the parking light burnt out on my Jeep Renegade. Not a big deal and when I used to be a mechanic for General Motors I could change this in 30 seconds. Of course I was in my 20s then and much more limber. Now to stick my head under the car is much more of a challenge. To get to this...

I know that feeling well which is why I had 9 finger operations for it. But those surgeries don't last forever . Now I just take baths in Cortisone. :cool:
