Today is the day the pilgrims left Europe to come here and screw up this country and start religious freedom. Of course they started to burn people as witches, excommunicate them if they texted in church and if they caught them chewing gum on Sunday, they would tie them up and dunk them in ASW...

A few weeks ago I built a Nitrate De-nitrifer out of a calcium reactor that I had laying around. I ran it for about 3 weeks and it turns 30 ppm of nitrate into zero in a few minutes. Today it's raining and the thing was in my way on my workbench so I installed it. I don't really have much of...

Today is our annual Cousins pic nic about 60 miles from here on a beach with a shelter and electricity. We have been doing this for about 45 years as my wife has a very big family. Many of us old generation went to the big reef tank in the sky but there are plenty of Kids, Grand kids and...

I get my water from there at high tide and I can collect amphipods at low tide. But I get much more amphipods in Peconic on the other side of the north fork on Long Island in this lagoon.

They are only knees. Not a big deal. I can still walk these stairs and you can only see half of them here. It was a little windy on my beach walk this morning and it wasn't low tide so no collecting. My house is up over that cliff.

I need another knee. The new one is still rather painful and I still can't kneel so I won't go to Church. I also can't walk to good but I get there. I am still faster than my wife but not much. By the time I am 80, I should be sprinting like Angela Jolie in Laura Croft Tomb Raider. :rolleyes...

. A few Jeeps ago we got a new Cherokee home and the first day the thing died right in the middle of a busy street. My wife was driving and she called me. There was no lights, no engine noise, no nothing. The car had 4 miles on it so I said call Jeep. :rolleyes: A truck came and they...

I took the boat out for a test sail and it runs perfect. Last week one engine got stuck at a restaurant and it was hard to diagnose because after I got it started it ran fine. So I replaced the spark plugs, gas filters and re built one exhaust manifold. I ran it full speed for a couple of miles...

My fish always mock me. The light didn't even come on yet and they are mocking me. Now I am going down to the boat to put the thing back together. :)

After I came home from taking apart the boat I came home to relax. My wife went to her friends house so it was nice and peaceful. I poured a nice glass of Grand Marnier and laid on the couch. I asked Alexa to put on peaceful rain sounds and I almost drifted off to sleep. Then the rain sounds...

I got the riser off the manifold and it is not as bad as I figured it would be. It was clogged but most of it I was able to get out with a screwdriver and a powerwasher. This one was getting very hot and thats why. I can probably get five more years out of it. The other three risers don't...

We went out to a nice dinner on the water 2 days ago and I got stuck. The boat had two problems but luckily we got home without swimming which was good because the restaurant is 15 miles away. The ignition switch shorted out causing the starter to engage when I put the boat in reverse. I have...

I changed my cell phone battery. First I look at some You Tube videos to see how to do it. It seems that most cell phones it is easy, but I have an I Phone SE and it is not so easy and it's a good thing I still have 20/20 vision because you need the Hubble Telescope to see the screws that are...

Last night just before sundown my friend and I go to a boat ramp to collect water. I back my Jeep up to the water on a boat ramp next to a beach, roll out the hose, throw the bilge pump into the sea and start pumping water into the car. I have collected water on this beach for maybe 20 years...

New Steam Punk Mechanical/Electrical Lamp is almost finished

The new one I have is rated for 550 GPH but it is more like a "babbling brook". Maybe 200 GPH. Maybe the Chinese have a different way of measuring water flow. :rolleyes:

I think my fish may have flukes. I looked at my gobi under a microscope and found these.

Since my last post, I found 2 more. So I have 5 working ones and a new one on the way. :confused:

I found three working ones. If I look long enough in my house I can find anything. But I fixed the crack in one and ordered another one so I should be good. :cool:

I would love to. All seems well now as it is an hour and a half later and the skimmer stopped foaming. I removed the diatom filter and I will see tomorrow if anything else dies.
