    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The Dr. told me I can't lift anything heavier than a tea cup for 3 weeks due to the stitches going across my palm. ;Nurse But I don't drink tea so I assume that doesn't apply to me. :) I tried to do some work on the rock structure I am building for the new tank and I mixed the cement with my...

    Thank you Diana Hand surgery is really Sissy Girly Man surgery and I am almost embarassed that I had it. Man surgery is when they tear off your hand and send it out for repairs. Grand Marnier and a pain pill works wonders :confused:

    I put some new rocks together today but couldn't finish the thing. It should be almost 3' long and will support my entire reef structure, or 3' of it anyway. I couldn't build the entire thing the way I wanted so i am just putting some large rocks together with stainless steel screws, epoxy and...

    The new place is just about finished but it will take a few weeks to inspect it, I am guessing we will move the second week in June. My boat just got out to the new marina today and should be in the water Monday. I will go out there (using my good left hand) and clean the thing and possibly...

    We have a closing date of the 21st of this month but I will still live here for a few weeks and pay rent. This may work out very well because if my house ever gets finished I will be able to move my fish there while I still live here. Thats the new plan. I wanted to build a large rock to support...

    Diana, when I installed that thing there were no video's and camera's were made out of wood. :cool: Diana, Of course I made it. I am not a Sissy Girly Man. :D Besides, where would you buy something like that? A chicken market! :grin: That think is extremely simple. There is a pump behind...

    I just got my undergravel filter and I am all Goo Goo over it. OK not really. It is extremely cheaply made compared to my old one and I hope my rocks don't crush the thing. It is one step above that plastic packaging that roast chicken comes in. It also has some very thin tubes that I will...

    I never hired anyone in my life for anything and can't stand the fact that I now have to hire someone to build my elevator shaft in my new home for the handicapped elevator for my wife. I can do this with no problem for about a grand but you have to be licensed and insured for that town. I am...

    I just cleaned my algae scrubber and I noticed in my UG filter manifold that one tube was clogged wit tube worms. I made a hook on some wire and lifted some out then I had to chop the rest of them up to restore movement. In doing that a tube that feeds the left UG plate came apart. It is...

    I just remembered this story, but I am sure I posted it on here somewhere so if you read it go and watch Oprah give houses to homeless cats with Alzheimer disease. I had a guy on the job who we called Speedy. This was the remodel of the New York City Playboy Club (where I would have worked for...

    So I fired my elevator contractor because he was a Jiboni and I don't think he knew an elevator from a lighted refugium. I hired a new one yesterday and will see how that goes. I also called a builder today because I need a licensed carpenter to build a shaft inside the original shaft which is...

    So today I had to go and get a shot in my knee. You need 3 of them so I have two more visits. I had this a few times before and I know it doesn't work. I just like to me a real man so I go for the pain. I went to the Dr's office for the shot and I felt bad because everyone in the office was...

    Free Sponge

    Yes, that I will do. Send me a "full" bottle of Grand Marnier, not the little bottle, the gallon. When it is empty, I will throw it in the sea

    I am moving soon so I had to trim This sponge, I have about a pound of the stuff. It is photosynthetic and I think may be the reason my water is so clear. It seems to love high nitrates as mine are off the chart. Must pick it up soon. I won't mail it, ship it, Parcel Post it or put it on my...
