Yesterday I took my Grand Son Teddy fishing for Porgies. We tried to get on the boat we went on last time but they raised the boat owners docking fees by $5,000.00 so he sold the boat. We found another fishing boat in another place and got on that. This boat goes to deeper water, over 100' so...

About 100 miles past that bridge in the background is God's country, where I live on eastern Long Island. The place is very crowded, but the good part was that they put out a huge oyster bar. My favorite food, so I stood there and slurped them up as soon as they hit the ice. As we waited, I...

So, about the wedding we went to this weekend. We took the Hampton Jitney from our house on Long Island for the 80 or 100-mile trip to Manhattan. The bus isn't far from us, maybe 15 minutes so I gave us half an hour. We were behind farm equipment which I couldn't pass so we just made it at 1:00...

I have to go to Manhattan today for a wedding. There is no place in the world I would rather "not" be, although I worked there all my life. I would much rather be up to my waist in the mud of a rice paddy in Vietnam, burning leeches off the skin under my arms with a cigarette while 7 Vietcong...

So, I got my MRI back, and the surgeon said, when do you want to do this?' I said yesterday. This is for my new right shoulder. It got jealous because I have a brand new left shoulder and left knee. I think this will be my 38th or 39th surgery. I'm not sure what the record is. If you get to my...

My first choice has a PhD as a Neuro Surgeon, Phlebotomist, agriculture, Entomology, sheetrock, Canadianologist, archeologist. volcanologist, ichthyologist, Beyonce ology, Captain Kangaroo, gemologist, horticulture, ESP, and pole dancing. While the other one went up to 5th grade but she got an...

I wanted to hire this nurse to help me out for 6 or 7 months while I recuperate. But my wife wants to hire this one.

I removed the old duct. It was getting rusty because it is behind my reef tank. I had a new duct made (Quack Quack) and installed it yesterday. I first coated it with a very expensive rust preventing paint.

This morning on my beach walk I came across this poor creature. He didn't have any bites and looked in perfect shape. Except of course for that dead thing.

On another note. We eat all of our meals on our outside deck in the summer and this time of the year we get a lot of wasps. I have this Zapper thing that looks like a tennis racket and it made me think of this wasp story that I posted a few years ago but it is a true story. Ok usually bees...

Everyone in New York knows at least one person who died that day. My friends Daughter was working there but she got out just before they fell. As she was running away someone who either fell or jumped out of the window fell on the sidewalk right in front of her. That will stay with her for life.

Lets remember that today is the anniversary of the attack on the WorldTrade Center. All Americans should Honor this day and especially New Yorkers who saw the towers fall. I actually worked on the construction of those iconic buildings. It was a horrible sight and the City was dark and full of...

It seems that I need a new right shoulder. I think it got jealous because I have a new left shoulder and left knee. The pain level now is getting bad especially when I am not moving it, trying to catch a fish with a net or waving at a pretty girl (who then basically spit at me) This will be my...

Because of this illustrious hobby I have to replace a HVAC duct that is up against my tank and got rusty. I just ordered the duct and will have to squeeze myself under and behind my tank to cut out the old, rusty duct and install a new one. It doesn't look too rusty but the bottom is very rusty...

This one is about an inch long so really small. He is not stuck to any powerheads but I can't find him today. That is not unusual in my tank so hopefully I will see him soon :biggrin:

Nothing exciting on my early beach walk. I had to wait on the beach for a while for the sun to come up. :biggrin:

I am going for my very dark morning walk but I wanted to see if my little filefish was stuck to the powerhead. Using a flashlight I don't see him stuck anywhere so he may be OK. I will look for the little guy when the lights come on. Now it's time to go to the beach :cool:

Unfortunately, I don't think my new tiny filefish will last the night. He likes to lay against the powerhead and being he is so slow and doesn't swim like Tarzan, he gets stuck there. Also my 6 line is picking on him. I put rubber bands all over the intake of one of the powerheads but the...

I had to go to a store next to a Petco so I walked in. They had one aiptasia eating filefish and it was tiny. I don't have any aiptasia but I do have a larger one of those and I didn't want to leave him there so I bought him. He is about an inch long and very cute but overpriced at $35.00. I...

Thats because Jersey beaches are on the Atlantic like the south shore of Long Island. I am on the north shore. The Long Island Sound which was formed before I was born during the ice age and was carved out by a glacier which carried rocks from Canada. It's all rocks here. I SCUBA dove here...
