Tank birthday, 47+ years

I was at a classic car show on Sunday, we have now entered the classiccar show season. Mine the one on the end far right.

Our season starts this coming weekend and its called Lost in the 50's. Mostly hot rods and resto's of 40's-60's cars with a little bit of everything else mixed in. Usually 300-400 cars with a parade of cars friday evening, a dance saturday night with bands from the era who are still alive and a poker run sunday morning.

An example of the "everything else"

Aren't operas performed in theatres then?

Nah, we go to the Phoenix Opera House or Gammage Auditorium. Although we have attended one or two at the Orpheum Theater...

 

[atoll]

They are performed in the Opera House here

As well as theatres?

Yeah, we get shows of 400 plus cars plus bands and other entertainment laid on. Not that I get to see any as I am usually with my car and friends and chatting to the general public.

I try to keep most my fish in pairs or more depending on the individual species. Although not uncommon here in the UK I haven't found much in the way of real indepth information on the striped Sabre toothed blenny Meiacanthus grammistes.
Best I have found so far here.

I recently got a juvenile trio of these interesting fish that my LFS got in, in fact they had about 20 plus of them in the one tank for sale.

Just taken a video and posted it on my YouTube channel.

Doo wop isn't that an Italian thing

 

[Paul B]

We go to a lot of Doo-wop shows. Ther aren't a lot of people still around from then.

Beware the blenny's bite! -

If he bites me, I will bite him back. I eat fish almost every day.

Doo wop isn't that an Italian thing

No, it isn't.

No, it isn't.

They rarely bite humans apparently we taste too much like your McDonalds burgers.

I did my beach walk this morning in the rain. They keep saying we have a drought even though it rains every day. I wonder what they would have called Noah's flood?

It was low tide and I picked up some red seaweed. It won't last longer in my tank because as soon as my urchin "sees" it, it's like an all you can eat salad bar. God Forbid he eats the 3" hair algae I have growing on the back glass.

Stupid creature

Of course, I am very afraid of Parasites so before I threw it in my tank I boiled it for one hour in lye. Then I let it sit in tree stump remover, formalin and prizapro for another hour. Then 74 days in a Quarantine tank where I use copper and TTM.

Then 2 hours of UV light sterilization and ozone injection. After that, it will be suited for my tank. (Or to serve with rice and beans)

You mean to say you never soaked it in bleach for at least 24 hours. Your tank is doomed, a wipe out inbound. Take cover and keep You're head down and might just pull through. Am off to pray for the tanks contents..

Being seaweed aren't you supposed to do a hydrogen peroxide dip? Or you could just dry it and smoke it

 

[tbrown]

Better do a rip clean!

Every Spring the Climate Change Advocates start to preach the same Rederick. Just in case a fire breaks out. Sometimes they start them themselves

 

[Freenow54]

Wow why do you even bother going through all that just to feed a fish ?

Speaking of smoking it, My wife takes Medical Marijuana. She has MS along with all the pain, unsteadiness and everything else that goes into it. But you don't smoke medical marijuana. It comes in a liquid, powder or pills.

She used to get it with a prescription, but that place went out of business because now it is legal to buy so we go to the dispensary to get it.

You can't get high on it for a couple of reasons. First of all it is very expensive. Like $100.00 for a small bottles of pills so a cheap bottle of liquor would be a lot cheaper if that is what you are looking for.

Anyway, I am a terrible sleeper so I sometimes use some of her powder. In this new place she bought a small bottle of liquid with an eye dropper.
I said I want to try it because I take 5 things to sleep and generally wake up at 1:00 or 2:00 am.

So I was holding the bottle with the dropper and I said :How much of this stuff should I take?:

She said : Take two of those". I thought she meant two droppers full, but she meant two drops. So I took like 20 drops.

I went to sleep and woke up about 5:00 which is fine. I was very happy.

I stretched to get ready for my morning, beach walk and got out of bed.

I immediately fell on the floor and felt like I got hit by a bus after drinking a gallon of cheap wine on an empty stomach. What happened?

I know I didn't drink so I couldn't have a hangover. Then I remembered the marijuana. I very slowly clawed my way back into bed because I couldn't walk. Not even close, and I didn't want to crawl to the living room where my wife would find my partially dead, limp body which would give her a heart attack and she would call 911 while she pounded on my chest screaming for Jesus, Mary and Josephine.

I closed my eyes for an hour until my wife got up and I asked her what happened. That's when I found out I was supposed to take two drops and not two dropper fulls.
