    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    HaHa. I spent the night in jail for singing on a street corner. Thats how bad I sing. :confusion: I had to take my wife somewhere today and it was near a LFS so I went in. Total waste of time. All he had was a bunch of Bangai cardinals. I bought two small ones just because i was there...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My Mother never used a cane or even wore glasses except reading glasses and never even took an aspirin. No high blood pressure, no nothing. And she was the toughest 4'11" Sicilian you could imagine and she would scare the biggest men away. I am not kidding. She was tough because of her brother...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good morning Paulie. If it were not for you and my friend Diana, I would retire from any writing as I can always count on you two to read this jibberish. I slept in that spare room last night as we are waiting for the Murphy bed to arrive so there is only a mattress on the floor and not much...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This morning like most days I got up and took a walk outside to watch the sunrise and nature in general. Today I surprisingly didn't see any deer, woodchucks, Muskrat Sally's, hawks, peacocks, supermodels or road kill. A school bus did stop near me at about 6:15 which I thought was a little...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thats great Paulie. My Daughter also graduated out of Fordham #2 in the school. Now after like 20 years she went back to Fordham Law just for fun. :confused: (I don't get it) She is on two scholarships and had two the first time she went so she has all the brains in the family. But many...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    You think! Paulie I know what you mean. My Daughters shoes cost more then my car, but she buys them. When she was 16 she got a job, bought her car at 17, bought her apartment at 19 and her wedding cost more than my neighborhood. But I couldn't pay for that. I taught her early to be...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This morning we went to Walmart, and I never go to Walmart. There is one close by and I think I was there twice, counting today. I needed 9 gallons of boat antifreeze and they have it for like $2.50. Home Depot charges $5.00. While we were there my wife saw this elliptical machine which...

    9/11

    I met my Daughter on our way home and gave blood. I had an old Jeep and the streets were jammed so I rode on the grass, through parks and through the Worlds Fair Grounds.

    Don’t judge me

    Paulie sinking may be a good thing when your clamming because the water is shallow so you can then just walk around the bottom picking up clams with your toes like I do. :cool: Glad your OK Brother

    9/11

    I helped build those Iconic towers in the early 70s and was near by when they fell so I saw them fall. My company lost two men there that day. We worked there often. The apprentice, a young girl went out to get coffee so she survived. One of my most horrible days.

    I also saw them fall. We lost two from my job there. I wasn't working there that day but I helped build those Iconic Towers in the 70s.

    Don’t judge me

    Paulie, so sorry to hear this as I consider you a friend. I still have those chitens you sent me and they are living and smiling right in the front of my tank. As you know my wife has MS and one of the symptoms is extreme pain. She takes medical Marijuana. It's a pain to get approved for it...

    Paulie, read it again. But this time only read every other word, then go back and read the words you missed. It makes more sense like that. :cool:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paulie the sand here came from meteorites quite a few years ago and Bigfoot ran all over it making it smaller, then Jeeps and Subaro's finished the job so the stuff is not for fish tanks but you can make glass out of it. The sand in the tropics was made mostly by parrotfish who bite off pieces...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am fairly sure I will never start up a new tank. If my tank ever crashed now, I would probably leave the hobby as I have been in it since the 50s and I think that is long enough. My wife and I would do some more traveling and maybe buy another house in the tropics someplace. Maybe open up a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    You absolutely can "not" use sand from New Jersey and it has nothing to do with oils, gas, hypodermic needles, coppertone etc. The silica sand there is much to fine. Just forget about it. I have tried it multiple times, don't do it. No good. Not gonna happen. You will be generating hydrogen...
