    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    All seems good and everything looks great today and on an added note, I think my Rainsford gobies are starting to spawn. They normally stay on different ends of the tank, but looking through the back glass they appeared to be doing the Macarana. But it could have been the Hustle or Tango...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Last night I wanted to clean the front glass of my tank because if I don't clean it in 3 days, it looks like sheet metal so I clean it every day. I lifted the front panel and stuck the glass cleaning magnet inside. The tank overflowed a little. I figured maybe I dropped it in to fast and it...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Once We were in Sicily looking for my Grand Father's house. He came here in about 1902. So we hired this guide. She was about 18 and looked like Gina Lollobrigida with the boots, leather vest, hair, ear rings, all sorts of make up, a cigarette and her cell phone taped to her head. The kid was...

    The long high thing on the left is my 5' DIY skimmer, the square white thing on the right is the reflection of my sink. You can see it under the Flag.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This Morning we got "take out" from a diner and went to a local beach and drove almost up to the crashing waves. Then I took out my DIY hand sanitizer and cleaned my hands and steering wheel, radio, turn signal etc and opened the breakfast cartons and coffee. We had a nice breakfast and found a...

    It's a Rainsford gobi and stays in the back or sides to pick at the algae and pods on the glass there.

    This is a shot through the back of my tank after I scrapped it clean. It's a mass of sponges. I also got two of these guys there, very hard to photograph.

    Jimmy's wife was beautiful and blind from birth. They met at a school for the blind. Her hobby was collecting Lladro figurines. Like Really. She has never seen them but when she picked one up, she could tell you everything about it and she had maybe 20 of them. They owned their own home and...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I learned a lot from my friend Jimmy. Jimmy was about 15 years older than me and had been totally blind from a child. He couldn't even see light and I used to go to work with him in Manhattan every day on the Railroad. He easily could have stayed home with his totally blind wife but he chose...

    It may take a week or so for the fish to lose their fear. They don't like new things.

    Lets Not Be Snowflakes

    You mis read my meaning. I only meant we have to endure some hardships for a little while so we can get through this. Not that this disease is not horrible in any way. I am old and live in New York where it is the worst. I was talking about people complaining that we have to do some things...

    I almost saved a Supermodel today

    It's pretty warm here today so I decide to get some exercise and take a walk to the beach behind my house. It's about 170 steps almost straight down and being it's kind of still winter, I have not been doing this much yet. In the summer I try to do it almost every day. So I figure I will go...
