    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This week I received my tax forms from Amazon that tells me how much my two books earned. Not much because they have a limited audience and I wrote my fish book about 15 years ago and my Vietnam experience book a year ago. Also, when a book sells as a Kindle book, I only get pennies for every...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Unfortunately, I won't be walking this icy morning as I have a Sissy, Girly affliction. Since the cold and snow started, I have been walking in snow Sorel boots. They are great for the cold and snow, but they are not exactly hiking boots and my legs, especially my shins are worn out or...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just got back and now I am going to shovel the ice off of my Jeep so we can go to the diner. I called them to make sure they are open because I think they are Snowflakes and not sure if they can get there. :eek2:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It's about 5 degrees out now and snowed again so it looks like Antarctica outside. Also very windy. I can't wait to get out there in a few minutes. REAL MAN WEATHER :cool: Maybe I will bring something to chop rough the ice on the Sound to see If I could collect some Copperbands.

    They just changed the forecast. They predicted it to be 4 degrees tomorrow morning. But now they are predicting 1 degree with 50 mph winds and wind chill at 25 below zero. MAN WEATHER. No Sissies out tomorrow. I can't wait to go on my beach walk in the morning. I hope I can get my phone out to...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It was a little Nippy on my early, cold, very windy beach walk this morning. I didn't see walruses or anyone swimming. Not sure why. :eek2:

    EvoIX. Thank you for asking. She is 99% better and I hope she stays like this for many years. Unfortunately, these procedures only last a couple of years, if that. But it is so great to see her smiling and laughing again. I haven't built a Steampunk piece in quite a while, and with so much...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I haven't posted anything about my tank in a while, with my wife's illness, all the doctor's appointments, and all the snow we had. I also haven't done much maintenance on the tank, but I do feed them almost every day. When I don't have the time to properly feed the tank, I at least throw in a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Maybe just two. It's a little warmer today so the ice receded from our shore a lot. Because of this, it revealed the icebergs that sunk the titanic over 120 years ago. This is amazing.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Going on my walk now. No sense taking a picture because it will look the same as the rest of my pictures in the last couple of weeks. :eek2: Still cold

    OOOOOhhhhhhHHHHooo NNNooo. There are some ich spots on my 2 yellow wrasses. OMG, Maybe I will empty my tank, sterilize with bleach, dip all wildlife in fresh water and peroxide and maybe a little Methylene blue and toilet bowl cleaner then leave fallow until July. Or maybe, I will just do...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We are having friends coming over tonight for dinner. They don't eat seafood (must be Communists), so I am making chicken noodle soup and baking rosemary-olive-oil Italian bread. Nothing new at the beach this morning. No walruses, seals or penguins. Just Manly ice. All that "gray water" is...

    You know it's cold when the public aquarium has to bring the penguins inside. This Aquarium is right near my house. I used to be a volunteer there. But the penguins are cold...

    Aiptasia wand

    I actually invented and patented the thing and even I don't have an old one. I also have "almost" nothing to do with the company either, so I don't sell them. You may be able to get one on Etsy. Good Luck :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am a little disappointed this morning. They predicted it to be 5 degrees but it is 12. A little too warm for a Manly walk. This is in front of my house. Snow is piled about 7' high

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It was a bit "nippy" at the beach this morning. I wore my ski goggles because the 9 degree wind was biting. I love winter walks because it's nice and quiet. No one out, no dogs barking. Nothing but seagulls and me. I worked outside for much of my career building skyscrapers in Manhattan, so...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    She is sleeping but I am still praying that pain is gone. I know she gets twinges of pain and thats how it starts. She can live with twinges, as long as it doesn't go any further. It's 9 degrees here now and I am going on my dark morning beach walk. I don't think I will see too many...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I was just downstairs playing with my fish, and I hear this big crash upstairs. I know that sound well so I ran upstairs and of course she fell and was on the floor. She falls all the time and didn't get hurt and is in such a good mood from feeling good, that she was laughing. :biggrin:
