    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yes I do. Maybe once or twice a month when I think about it. But it doesn't seem to matter much. My calcium is always about 440. Maybe it's my calcium kit that came in a wooden box with directions in Sanscrit. Today started out at 5 degrees and my titanium knee is letting me know it is not...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just did something that I rarely do, I tested my nitrates and Calcium. My calcium is 440 and nitrates are 5. Not bad and I am surprised being I feed so much. But it is all new NSW from 7 months ago so I guess it is all good. :rolleyes:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I finished therapy for my new knee a few days ago but the Dr. said I have to go to the gym and use the incombant bicycle for exercise and try to get the leg to bend more. I kind of like it straight but he said it needs to bend if I want to walk. So I go to the gym with my wife who goes almost...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just remembered a Viet Nam story. If I wrote it already just go and watch Oprah. We were on an LZ (Big clearing in the jungle) which is where I usually was and me, my Captain and a couple of other guys were talking and having a hot beer that we got from the Air Force. This guy comes up to us...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The Dr. said I don't have to go to therapy after this week because I am such a fine specimen of a man. :D I just have to ride my bicycle. I am looking for snow tires for it now. :rolleyes:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The water I collected warmed up and the salinity was 0.014 so I could either add some salt or buy some kissing gourami's. I added some salt, a lot of it. The water is still slightly green even after diatom filtering it for a few hours so I was a little hesitant to add all 40 gallons of it at...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have been looking over a few other forums where I wrote that I sometimes add, or used to add garden soil to my tank. I didn't invent that, it was Robert Straughn, The "Father of Salt Water Fish Keeping" and many people are aghast at that (I love that word and wonder where it came from) Anyway...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So yesterday we went to see the Kids and Grand Kids in the East Village in Manhattan. I worked in Manhattan for 40 years and would rather have Nancy Pelosi stick me in the eye, twice with a sea urchin, then step on my busted knee with a high heel than go into Manhattan. So I have to stop...
