Hey, you are our age bud !!

The best part of the story is this ...

Rich's frag swap a couple summers ago ...

Brad comes from the Island and says to me, "Hey, what's your last name ?"
I respond and he says "I think we were neighbors way back on Rufus Street"

Then the stories started ....

Funny how you can lose touch with people over the years and then find each other again.

35 years Brad

Probably a good thing we didn't take Rowley's Excaliber, huh ?

Easy now, in the early 70's my friend and I were in Central America for 5 months
He had a 750 Honda, I a 750 Norton. The only larger bike we met was a cop in Mexico City who pulled us over on his Harley. He just wanted to see the Honda, as the police were getting Hondas in the next year.

You are bringing me back too far. Memories!

This is nothing. Fortunately, I live in a "cool" ground floor suite and by having both front & backdoors open to blow in cool night air till 5 am last night, my place never went above 21 C or 69 F. In the past, when our heat wave was in the mid-30s, I had to resort to my 12000 btu portable AC. So far, not necessary. BTW, my kids and wife are in Malaysia where it averages 32 C YEAR ROUND, with peaks in the 40s and near saturation level humidity at times.

Wish she'd come back and sit on my lap once again!.

Wish my build would get done too lol

I Thought SALTWATERSEAHORSES got banned???????

Or did she, he or them just move to a different province?:loco:

Madreefer 06-08-2015 11:39 PM

Just a rant..........Went to our local TotalPet, porcupine puffer $290. Yellow tang extra small $90.
Drove up to Petland porcupine puffer $56. Yellow tang $50. Special order for the fish and you must pick up on arrival though and that includes shipping.
I'm sorry but i'm done with TP and their disgusting fish tanks and punk kid who knows nothing about saltwater telling me the do's and dont's. Real smart ordering a 2' bamboo shark and 8" panther grouper

I just read them both, and seems like some hijacking going on. We take that seriously here on Canreef and the offenders will be dealt with.

Why ?
 
Of all the corals that the jar of salsa could have fallen on why did it land on my two year old pink mill

Of all the places you could put a jar of salsa, why did you decide to put it in your tank?

When acclimating new inhabitants to your aquaria I would advise to use the drip method. The hold the bag on the euro bracing with a jar of salsa method can back fire when you knock the jar into you aquarium and onto your corals .:redface: Yes I did that .

Whoops ?

Anyone looking west right now ?
I know squat about astronomy, but what I see is pretty cool.
Looks to me like maybe Venus is under Mars ?

What I see is a very bright light with a smaller bright light above it.

WarDog 07-01-2015 05:30 AM

It's Venus and Jupiter. If you look south, to the right of the moon, about 5 degrees higher, you will see Saturn.

Dearth 07-01-2015 06:53 AM

Big discussion here at work tonight about how many numbers are on our cell phones nobody could believe that only 11 people have my number and that anyone who wants to contact me who doesn't have my number can call my home phone as it has an answering machine.

Most people cannot live without their cell phone lots say they can but most of those people would go nuts if they couldn't check it at least once per hour for messages, texts or calls. Me my phone is used mostly for the Internet and games to entertain myself with with the occasional call and more often for texting but only with the 11 people on my phone.

Myka 07-01-2015 02:32 PM

^ I wish! I use my phone for work, and I envy back in the day when you could just check your messages on the answering machine at home at the end of the day. Plus the text messages I get at 11 pm, 3 am, etc. Drives me bonkers. :lol: I do check it all the time, but that's because people expect me to. That's annoying too... *ring ring* "Hi, I sent you a text message 20 minutes ago, did you get it?" Furreal?????

Give'r! Unless you're on my "list" (which is only family at this point), your text/call will be blocked from 9 pm to 8 am.

I still use one. Best way for messages. Of course everyone calls my cell instead. :cell:

Aquattro 07-01-2015 03:02 PM

I have a home phone, don't even know the number. I also go out often without my cell, I just really don't like phones.

I keep planning on cancelling my home phone but have yet to do it. Sad to say, that even at my age I feel naked going out without my cell. Never thought that would be so.

Aquattro 07-01-2015 03:11 PM

We have a home phone simply due to nurses being in the house all the time. They need access to 911.
For cell, I don't take it with me a lot, unless I anticipate emergencies where I would need access to a phone.

My cleaner needs the home phone to check in when she arrives & leaves. She works for an agency that has health care aides & nurses.
I need my cell to keep in touch with my daughter or if the granddaughers need me during the day when she is at work.

51 shortly and never had a cell phone until I was 48 ish. I have actually turned around and went back to the house to get my cell on more than one occasion and always think of how pathetic is that while I'm doing it. Just got rid of the house phone a few months back after talking about it for over a year. We have blue tooth home phones that connect to everyone's cell so I can get my "alone time" from the stupid cell Lol.

Myka 07-01-2015 03:39 PM

We got rid of the home phone the instant we got a web/cell-based security system for our home (Vivint). The only people that ever called the home phone were telemarketers anyway. Interestingly, we cut the lines outside and removed the Securtek panel when the Vivint was installed and when we cancelled our Securtek security system 3 weeks after the Vivint install, Securtek had not called us to inform us that there was no signal. They had no idea. :eek:

EDIT: Wow, 700 pages of random thoughts!
