Wooden carving of a shark


I can't recall what kind of wood this is made of, but, it's nice. It was hand carved by a guy in Belize.

I watched him carve it and he made little adjustments all along the way so it came out just how I wanted it. And, it only cost me about $20.

It's a cold, cold world

Here's a cool pic. It was the middle of a frigid night and my
fireplace had gone out. I went outside to grab some sticks from the
yard for kindling. When I looked back, I saw this cool impression in
the frost. Cool...heh...I mean, interesting. No kidding that it was
cool. My feet were screaming that at me !!!

Colored Lights

The fastest way I could find to make my house look all "Christmasee" was to replace my regular CFL floodlights with these red and green tungsten bulbs. They cost a bit more scratch but way less time than setting up a couple of humping wicker reindeer like my neighbor seems to love.

37 Gallons of Seawater

Here's the current state of my 37 gallon salt water fish tank. It's a good primer for the 110 gal tank I'm setting up mid-January. This one has 4 fish in it now; a blue damsel, a star puffer, a spotted hawk and a bursa trigger. Fun times.

Merry Christmas from the Griswolds

That's what the sign says, at least. It's a pretty nice display for a small town, though. On the other side of the place, the entire driveway and 2-car garage are lit up.

Panorama done on the iPhone using Pano.

Big mouth

Mojo doesn't slobber, thank god, but he does sport some floppy
jowels! It's hilarious to watch him in a deep sleep-when he breathes
out, they inflate and then make weird sounds.
