Ate a big clump of bubble algae cleaning up my tank today , no wonder no critters eat this stuff it tastes terrible .

Try it with Ketchup next time 😈😎😎😈

Stir fried with some Sambal chili sauce:wink::twised:

Good ideas , I figure I wont hate it so much if I can at least eat the stuff,maybe I can make it popular and trendy they I can sell it and make a fortune .

Call it a rare "endangered" delicacy and claim that it will cure male "cough cough" dysfunction, and you'll have a line up banging down your door in certain markets.:wink:

^ Good idea! You might be able to save some sharks and rays! :D

And rhino horns

Don't forget about bear gal and dried tiger penis. Though bear gal probably tastes better than bubble algae .

Man I am hungry. I am thinking donair. Donair affair? Yup I think I am going to get a donair. :biggrin:

We had Greek food for lunch. Actually, I slept in and my wife and younger daughter went out shopping with my mom and they went to our favourite Greek restaurant, Panos Taverna for lunch. Luckily, my wife was nice and ordered a calamari lunch special for me so I had a nice lunch when they came home. Yummmmy.

Lamb Lebanese donair with extra lamb and all the fixings. mmmm. yummy. A Dr Pepper to help it all go down. Satiated. :biggrin:

I had beef swarma today. Drove 30+ kms to get that and the roads were less than ideal for driving today at Calgary. Its baffling what a hungry person can do for the right food.

(Instagram) Pics or it didn't happen !

Anyone up for Deep Fried Big Macs and McDoubles again? :wink:

I dont really like big macs but deep fried? maybe....:twised:

Coming to a Theater Near You
 

Super El Niño vs The Blob! How's that for a random thought? Came to me while listening to CBC radio yesterday on the way up to the ski hill. A scientist from Victoria was describing this "Blob" of unusually warm ocean water in the Gulf of Alaska that formed around 2013 & is expected to dissipate in the near future. You'd think a community of highly educated scientific folks would come up with a more 'scientific' term for this phenom?

In any case, listening to this program about Super El Niño and The Blob duking it out over who's going to determine the weather along the west coast & inland, reminded me of the good old Japanese horror flick genre way back when. You know, Godzilla, Mothra et al. Hence the title of this thread!

Not sure who's winning, but there were certainly dire predictions about the possible effects on the snowy season due to Super El Niño. It's been a better than average start for snow sports enthusiasts thus far, so I say, bring it on, in your face Super El Niño. I hadn't heard of "The Blob" prior to yesterday so did a little research. Apparently it's had a negative effect on certain marine species adapted to cooler waters, such as salmon & brought some warmer water species up to have a look around a bit farther north.

Only page 181 for me. I think it depends on your browser/view preference settings.

Ha, ha, well I thought my latest random thought was rather unique, however.....

Interesting graphic further down in the above article showing The Blob, Son of Blob & Godzilla!

I can't help but feel a little skeptical sometimes about the seemingly conflicting/changing weather/climate forecasts. I think they have much better equipment/instruments now for measuring temperatures in oceans and the atmosphere. But I also think blobs and El Ninos have been around for a lot longer than we are being led to believe.

And yeah, despite the dire forecasts, best snow and ski season here that we have seen for a long time.

I wish I was tired enough of insomnia to sleep, but that never seems to be the case! Time to hit the treadmill I guess - this night's a write off...

Welcome to my life ;)

Shift change from nights to days.. So today will maybe at best be 3 hours of sleep.

Some of the best sleep of my life was when I did shift work. :p

As a shift worker imma have to call BS on that one because I do NOT believe you.

Shift sucks

The great thing about people is that we're all different! :p I imagine you work something like 3 days, 3 nights, 1 off or some ugly shift like that.

The shift work I did was different because it wasn't scheduled, and the work/off time was constantly shifting/changing. I was working 15 hour "days" which could start/end at any hour of the day or night, off for 8 hours (sleep for 6.5), 15 hours on again, 14 days straight, 2 days off, then do it all again. I was tired enough that I always slept well - unless I had a couple days off then I'd be all messed up. :lol:

I've been working shift work last 20 years you either like it or you don't

I happen to like shift work a lot I don't have to join the rat race on the weekends competing with all the other Monday to Friday people to go shopping at the same stores at the same time and deal with weekend warriors and weekend drivers shift life has been good to me

4 shifts 12 hrs each shift 2 day shifts 2 nightshifts 4 days off days off move a day ahead every week and get more vacation time than the 9 to 5ers

^^^ I do the same shift pattern. It can't be beat

When I worked on a salmon farm near Powell River years ago, I would do 10 days on, 4 days off, which would allow me to catch the ferry down to Vancouver to spend 3.5 days with family and friends twice a month. Worked out good. I told management I would just quit if they forced me to switch to 5 & 2, cause no job in my mind is worth giving up my family & friends (it's about 4-4.5 hours each way commute so 2 days off meant never coming down).

Mine changes all the time Myka depending on posting. Currently I have a terrible schedule. I work 7 nights, 3 off, 7 days & 4 off. The nights end at 4am on a day off. Also every forth set of days off you work an extra shift as cover off. Weekends 10 hours, rest 8 hours and in reality.. Your 8s are 10s and your 10s are 12s with my longest shift being 19hours with 3 hours between shifts. Thats mostly due to shortages in the work place.

Not a lot of... Me time haha.. Most of the time I love my work haha

Time to lose the Christmas Tree

Ahaha I was thinking that as well lol

Oh boy
getting late

Do not get a acrylic black back it = @rap stick to glass

Crappy to be me minimum 6 months of not being able to use my hot tub, no international travel, no scuba diving, no flight training until medical clearance in 6 months (this one annoys me), no heavy exercise for six months (not an issue in my case still learning what this word "exercise" means)

Heart attacks rule the rest drool !!!!!

I hate acrylic inside the tank. It attracts algae way more than glass does, and if you scrub it it scratches! It's not as hard as the clear acrylic used to make tanks from, so it scratches really easily. Plus, it gets "waves" in it and doesn't stick to the glass well. It's not too bad to cover up a corner overflow, but it sucks when it's used as a panel or full back to cover up an external overflow. Black glass is where it's at! :D

...Well its been 1.5 months since I did a order from J &L and my conch is still alive ... wasn't thinking it was going to make it cause my last spider conch was maybe 1.25" in length when I opened the box for the order this spider conch was a whopping 7" across it was like a small tank, i was like shiiiitt where is this thing going go lol ( i got a 125g so there is room ) but my friend that did an order with me was going to get one and he's got a 15g he like OMG I'm glad i didn't order that

got my 15.75$ worth lol

Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you a robot vacuum and that's close enough :surprise:

Fun Fact:

Your baby toe is specifically designed to look for every hard and sharp surface known to mankind its evolutions gift to mankind and I believe a practical joke played on us and I bet evolution is busting a gut laughing over it too every time our toe finds an object

And the head is attracted to every possible corners that can appear above it :razz:

A big toe off can be used as a thumb in a transplant , but for the rest of your life you have to put a sock on your hand when its cold and you cant bite the nail or people will say you bite your toe nails , ewww .
