    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have been experimenting with this little anemone crab for a couple of months by giving him a live blackworm every day. At first he just looked at me like I was crazy and continued filter feeding. But now he comes out for the worm as soon as he sees the feeder and grabs the worm. He also...

    I had my second hand surgery yesterday because I guess the first one was only practice. Now they tell me they have it down to a science. My right hand is bandaged from my knuckles almost to my elbow. It is amazing how many times you need your right hand during the day. Luckily I am used to...

    That is great. Unfortunately, I started to break my tank down.

    I have probably a dozen hermits and an arrow crab and a few other crabs as well as shrimp. They all have been in there for years and don't even text each other. The pistol shrimp stay in their holes.

    Thanks for sharing. I love those guys and have a mated pair of shrimp with my gobi. I "shoot" them some clam every day which keeps them happy and healthy. My gravel has a lot of rubble in it from being in the tank so many years so they have no problems making tunnels from one end of the 6'...

    Nasty Squirrels

    Last year squirrels got under my solar panels and ate through my roof shingles and the tar paper. They also ate completely through a bunch of the copper cables forcing me to remove some of the panels and re wire most of the system. I repaired the roof and replaced the cables. Then I...

    In a few weeks my boat will be in the water and it will be amphipod hunting season. The early summer is when they are free swimming and possibly breeding but I really don't know. I do know that there are so many of them at that time that all I have to do is put my arm in the water (in a tide...

    Just after Thanksgiving I had a hand operation. If you worked construction for 40 years and your joints still work, you didn't work hard enough. One finger (the one I use to point at Supermodels) was becoming stuck in the bent position so I went in to have it fixed. They "fixed" my knee at...

    Yes that is what I have and I have known about the frost proof valve for a long time. Where the thing is located, it is just so much easier to put in a ball valve in the house. My home is stone and to put in that valve I would need to get up into a place above the foundation which is 18"...

    As I was feeding the fish tonight I noticed a pipefish that I thought I lost a couple of weeks ago. It is a very plain looking pipe that crawls around the bottom like a dragon faced pipe. I got him at Aquarium Village my favorite store. He is crawling around hunting, and apparently finding pods

    Today is a beautiful day so I figured I would powerwash the eaves of the house. To do that I had to turn on the hoses outside that I had off all winter. I tried to turn on the valve inside my house for the hose and it wouldn't budge. That figures, I never turned off this valve before but this...
