Today I collected water and while that was being diatom filtered my friend helped me trim sponges. He actually removed a few pounds of them and I am very happy. I can't do it because I have two fingers bandaged up and I can't get them wet.
When you cut this sponge it exudes a milky stuff that...
So this morning I was going to make a nice breakfast for My wife and our best friends next door. I forgot it is Friday and we normally go out for breakfast.
I figured I would make some eggs, potatoes toast etc and I got some nice farm fresh potatoes and I was going to make a new breakfast recipe...
Sand crab, sometimes called mole crabs. Won't really live in a tank for any length of time, I tried many times. They are intertidal creatures and for some stupid reason dig in where the waves break and get thrown around a lot.
I would never buy a hose made in China. :rolleyes: It is actually made in America, if not, it would still be in Costco. :)
Paulie, I actually have three of those collapsible hoses. I myself didn't buy them because I think those are not made in the US and I would not have bought them.
I find...
Yesterday we went to Costco to get food for the boatload of people we have coming out in a few hours. While I was there I bought a new garden hose for my boat dock.
The hose I have there now got very sticky from the sun and it makes huge black streaks on my white boat so I need a new one.
You...
They will tolerate warmer water for a while as I sometimes collect them in hot tide pools. But that water cools off again when the tide comes up. They also require a lot of food, probably more if they are to warm.
I can't keep them for more than a few weeks or months. Probably because it is...
Diana they don't allow Dodge ball in school any more because almost everyone now is a Snowflake or knows a a Lawyer who is a Snowflake. They don't allow drinking from a hose either probably because some lawyer owns the bottled water company. I think they fill those bottles from a hose anyway...
Paulie, this pair lived and spawned like that for 12 years and then died with in a week of each other. Probably from a broken heart.
Sometimes you can see the baby crabs early in the morning because they keep the eggs in their shell and push them out in the morning. They are tiny and stay near...
We had a lot of empty lots where I lived so we made rafts to float around on. Of course we always sunk and were full of mud.
We would shoot rats with the sling shots or go fishing in a lake with a string and a hook that we found.
There were worms all over the place for bait and we would keep...
Diana, today if it doesn't have a USB port on it a kid wouldn't have the slightest Idea what to do with it.` I grew up playing stick ball. My Mom would get so mad because I used to cut the broom handle off for the stick then try to hide the broom part. I don't think they even sold those...
Kids today, including my own can't buy a clue. My Grand Daughter last year was on vacation with my Daughter and her husband in Mystique. It was something like $50,000.00 a week and had Jeeps, boats, pools, oceans, everything you can imagine.
Greta just sat there on the floor looking at her...
On the day of my confirmation I was all dressed up in a new suit, tie and new shoes. Me and my friend went to the park and rented a small rowboat. Our "friends" called us over near the side of the lake because they wanted to tell us something. We rowed near them and they started throwing cherry...
Growing up in the fiftees. This should be in the Lounge.
I decided to write this because this morning we face timed our Grand Daughter who has just about anything you can imagine and is bored out of her head.
Because of Covid they had to leave their apartment in the West Village in...
Some day I need to do some work on my tank. I need to move the entire middle section back a few inches because some of the corals are to close to the glass and my magnet cleaner hits it.
I did this once before and I don't look forward to it. I have to wear thick gloves so my fireclowns...
