Just call me the chicken whisperer I guess. Came home a couple days ago and she was hanging out under the bird feeder eating the seed the wild birds had spilled. First thing she did when I drove up was fly up to my roof and sit on the gutters and I am trying to get her tamed down by making sure...

Well it finally happened, the pump/powerhead on my filtration system finally broke and since my tanks is a off-brand it is unlikely I will be able to find a suitable replacement, but I am going to town and see what I can find. Not sure what my best option is going to be if I can't get it working...

So you may remember a couple months ago when I posted that Oregon Duck fans are the worst? I am sitting here watching the news and a Oregon Duck supporter is getting busted for pulling up a piece of Oregon States turf and lighting it on fire after the win this weekend. Somebody had a camera out...

I'm sure everybody has read about the attempted car bomb plot in Portland last week by now. Sounds like the FBI did a good job of getting a terrorist off the streets with this one. The other thing is this guy lived and went to college in Corvallis which is where my wife works and the town I...

Okay I just picked up my white whale, yes another beef brisket. It is a top cut, fairly thin and weighs in at 3lbs. So how should I prepare it. Dry rub or marinade? Put a pan under it for some of the cooking time to keep it moist? Should I pound it a little to make it tender? Any advise would be...

Is it possible to keep both together in a 15 gallon nano? I like my sally lightfoot, but I am still having a lot of problems with bubble algae and thinking of adding a couple emeralds. This leads to another question, will two emeralds get along? Will either emeralds or sally lightfoot go after...

I was relaxing last night listening to some music and reading a book and looked over and my Jack had the tail of a cory cat hanging out of it's mouth and of course being a catfish it had wedged itself in so "Jackie" could not swallow it. Had to find the big fish net, catch Jackie and I tried to...

We moved this brugmansia in last weekend because the weather is getting colder. Kind of a pain to winter over, but our greenhouse is pretty full and having a 75 gallon FW tank in there does not help, so into the den it went. Those blooms really are that big and this is not a forced perspective...

It was a show on crow behavior and although I knew these birds where smart, I still learned a lot about these birds and really enjoyed the program. I definitely looked a little differently at the two that where talking while I refilled my bird feeders this morning and put out cracked corn (which...

The infamous "Beer Can Chicken", so simple, yet so tasty. I just pulled out my whole bird from the fridge and this afternoon will give it a good rubbing of Yucatan BBQ spice, dig out the heart, liver and other assorted bits and throw them in a pot for a boil for my dogs and everybody is going to...

I don't think I have mentioned it due to the saltwater nature of the forum, but I have been breeding Endlers livebearer/blue guppy hybrids for the last couple months and have no problems getting rid of the little critters for credit at a couple LFS and a feed store that keeps a couple tanks of...

I have moles again wrecking my place and so far the best option for getting rid of them seems to be the old 12 gauge when I catch them working. I don't want to use poison since the chance of a poisoned mole coming to the surface to die and having one of my dogs eat it is probably 100% percent...

Hopefully this will help them with their upcoming game this weekend against Boise St. I really would like to see Boise St. man-up and get rid of that smurf turf now that they are trying so hard to play at a national level and having some success because I remember last time the Beavers got...

I am just curious as to what happened or if it is some kind of miracle.   I was on my laptop and instead of putting it in it's regular location with a surge protector I was lazy and just left it plugged in where it was at. As I was getting ready to go to sleep we had a power surge/loss/surge...

Just kidding, but it is green. I finished my going into winter detail on my old 73 Ford and wanted to show it off a little while it is clean and shiny and yes except for a small spot on the back of the truck by some miracle that is the paint job it came with. Mechanically, the motor is a bored...

I've about got all the blackberries picked out of my yard so I jumped in the truck and drove in the back-side of a friends property and found some really good berries, usually I don't bother picking himilayans, but I found a bunch that where absolutely perfect and about half the size of your...

Just wondering if anyone else has heard of Bin Talal?   It appears he is the largest stock holder in the parent company that owns Fox News outside of the Murdoch family and also appears to be a major financer of the proposed mosque near ground zero. He also seems to be the sugar daddy for Fiesel...

Or did someone leave the troll cage unlocked again. Fishtaco

Last weekend I had some right by my chopping block in a tree and I think I was so close they just bounced off me before they could sting. This weekend was a hole in the ground and my weed-wacker, got nailed a couple of times. Good in a way to find them because they can be such a pain during...
