Today my wife and I did a little boating as we always do in the summer and I took the dinghy to shore to do a little collecting just before the storm rolled in. We just made it back in time but I managed to get a bucket full of amphipods. This is the first collecting of the year and I hope to...

Great story.

I have been called many things, some I can't repeat here and some involving my hair, or lack of. Dance I also just wrote a book. I am hoping to get a Pulitzer or at least a movie deal. I think Brad Pitt will play me. Him or Pee Wee Herman I am not sure yet. But the book has about 10 or 15...

Yes I do. I have been keeping and spawning mandarins for decades. I wrote this and a few more articles there about them. http://www.saltwatersmarts.com/diy-target-feeder-mandarinfish-pipefish-2804/

I spent about an hour on my tank today which is much more then I ever do. I decided to remove half of the screen in the algae trough because there was no algae growing just tubeworms and corals which completely filled the trough almost preventing the water from getting through. I had to pry up...

My wife and I took the boat out today for a nice quiet sail to dinner in a nice quiet restaurant on the bay. The clams were very quiet.

This last 6 days we babysat out 2 Grand Kids while our Daughter and husband went to a wedding in Mallorca Spain. Yeah, not to bad. We stayed at their CoOp in Manhattan for the first 3 days. They live on the 16th floor and out one side you see the Empire State Bldg and uptown and out the other...

I think so, no Sissy thermometers for me

Thats something I do every day as I don't do much to the tank. But I drink Grand Marnier. Dance

I use a 60 year old brass wall thermometer from a boiler in the Plaza Hotel. But I am sure you don't want to go that route. I put that brass bulb in a glass tube in the water. I can read it from across the street.

You could probably make one out of old 8 track tape cartridges or Barry Manilo LP record albums.

I think they should make "Man" Stores. No females allowed. (except for Supermodels that are just there to look at) We would buy whatever we wanted and throw it in shopping carts made out of diamond plate steel. Everything should have the price on it in big numbers written in a wide magic marker...

Nice story that I can relate to Mark. I don't have an X wife, still have the same one going on 42 years I think. I also have that nice blue store here but I have to pass 6 or 7 of the other ones to get there as they are much closer. But if I have the time, I always go there. Just so much...

Today I did something with my tank that I rarely do. I took some water to get tested for calcium and alkinity. I did that because many times people ask me those readings and al I can do is stutter and make up a story. But today I had it tested and the calcium is like 525, which is a little...

I am glad you enjoyed it. I try to remember mundane things that happen so I can post them because not much exciting stuff happens in my tank. The fish wake up, they eat, they poop and they sleep. Not much going on there. My wasp story was my favorite and I still read it occasionally. I also...

So yesterday I go to that big store where everyone goes for lumber, doors etc. I don't want to mention their name. I bought one of those new LED outside light fixtures for my deck. Very cool looking fixture. The price was listed as $29.00. So I bring it up to the front and the Lady rings it...

Why am I the only one who uses a reverse undergravel filter? Am I Bad? Dance

You may be correct about respecting Veterans now more than the last 30 years. Now, if I wear my Veterans hat I get a lot of people thanking me. I recently went into a restaurant and I had a Viet Nam Vet hat on and the waitress thanked me and told me that most of the people just don't get it or...

How to Wash a Cat 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1 oz. of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lids. You may need to stand on the top...

I also think this is a lost generation. Some of these "kids" do surprise me and have respect but very few of them know how or why they have the freedom to do what they do. Almost none of them know, or care, how many good people died so they can walk around and tweet their friends. I am not...
