Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
So we had to be at her graduation at Fordham Law school at 7:45 am in the Bronx. (NYC). That is about 45 miles from me but the traffic there looks like a cup of live, adult brine shrimp and at that time in the morning, rush hour, it moves more like a cup of frozen brine shrimp.
We decided to go...
I went to my Shoulder Surgeon fish and I have this big tear in my rotator cuff. (Like I didn't already know that)
So I have my surgery booked but it is in the middle of the summer. The operating rooms here are booked about 3 months out so if you need your gallbladder out because of intense pain...
My little caterpillars just formed chrysalises and in about 10 days they will be fully formed Painted lady butterflies and will fly away. :)
Next I will raise some Monarchs.
Yes, if you have the wheels off you may as well change the rotors as they fall right off. :)
I can't do much right now because I can't really move my left shoulder. :confused:
I used to re build or change my engines on my cars and boats. In the early 70s I changed my Bonneville automatic...
Here in New York we have to get our cars inspected every year. If we don't, we can't renew our registration. The fee for the inspection is set by the state and it isn't much but it allows repair shops to get your car in to "inspect".
If it fails, you can't take the car home and you have to...
I lost both of these fish today. The yellow clown gobi I found him half stuck in my Gyre powerhead. He croaked.
And the little bleeny, I accidently caught in my diatom filter. I quickly opened the thing up and got him out. Then I caught him again.
He instantly swam into the inlet as I was...
This morning I went down to the beach armed with a bucket because it was low tide. The tides here rise about 8' so the water goes way out at low tide and it exposes the rocks that line the bottom of the Sound.
There weren't thousands of amphipods like there will be in a couple of weeks but I...
I am so "Lucky" that I was able to put about 10 fish in my tank in the last few months all from a filthy store where many of the fish exhibited ich and all kinds of other things and yet, I haven't lost anything to disease.
Now I probably have 45 healthy fish none of which were medicated...
Thanks Guys. But I am used to it. I tore my rotator cuff I think 7 times so far and the day isn't over yet. If you reach my age and didn't break a bunch of bones and tear most of your other parts, you didn't do enough in your life. :p
The surgeries are fun but the aftermath is a pain...
My Ruby Red is still very pregnant and the male is a dope. I am not sure she will expel the eggs. The dragon wrasse i can't find. But many times I can't find a fish for a month. I have had them before and I know what you mean. I forgot how much of a pain they are so I won't feel bad if I...
They keep saying we need more rain. Exactly how much do we need?
I can barely get through the puddles now.
There is a large pond across the street from me and it has many bullfrogs in it. There is so much water in it now that the frogs get the bends when they go to the bottom and back.
I have to run a diatom filter on my tank almost every day to remove dying algae that keeps growing after my sponge removal.
I think I tore my rotator cuff (for the 8th time) so it is very difficult to get my left arm over the tank so I spill water all over the place.
Old diatom filters are not...
