  • Blow gun fishing.

    I have a blowgun. I put a scope on it and connected the other end to a compressor. I used to shoot rats that would congregate under my bird cages to eat the fallen feed. It was probably 20-25 ft shots and the darts can penetrate 5 gallon buckets.

  • Dog + Cheese

    I have a bunch of stories with this dog. It is the funniest dog I ever had. It has eaten margarine, crisco, crayons, soap etc.. It also steals everything from my mom and absolutely terrorizes her. The dog takes her make up, steals her breakfast and her lunches and takes it to its lair. Under my moms bed there is a tiny hole under the matress were she jumps into. Every month we empty it out.

    I just got home at 11. After I talk with my dad my dog wants me to pick it up, so I do. As soon as I do my first thought was "dam you're heavy!". So I inspect my dog and see that its stomach is round and its profile has changed.


    I asked my dad if he gave anything to the dog. He says "no", pauses for a second and then says "the cheese!, call your mom to see if she took it".


    My dad ate some cheese and guave paste when he came home at 6. My mom came around 8 then left to my sisters house. My dad then went to snack on the cheese again afterwards and couldn't find it so he thought my mom took it.


    I call my mom and she says she didnt take the cheese but she did find the red cheese wax on the floor. There was probably 1/2 lb left of cheese which means my dog ate about 20% of its weight in cheese. Thats like me eating 50 lbs of cheese.


    So I take my dog for a walk to see if it will relieve some pressure and sure enough my dog is now making gouda cheese sticks.

  • Water purifiers

    To me it is a slight coconut taste.


    Yes you can use seawater but I don't recommend it. Changing the filter depends on the water quality at your house. Since it is city water it is already acceptable. There are 3 filters. The 2 prefilters are "recommended" to be changed every 3 months they are $30 for both, once a year change is ok. The reverse osmosis filter "recommended" to be changed every 9 months to a year and is around $70, once every 2 years is ok.


    The owner of the filter company told us the reverse osmosis filter life depends on the prefilters. He says if the prefilters are changed on time the osmosis filter will last several years. He has one that has been running for 10 years. Some systems come with a test that you can do to see if the filters are good.


    Best bet would be to send your water sample to a lab. It is free but they will send a representative to your house to try and sell you a system. That's how they got my parents to buy one. Maybe you don't need an expensive filter to get water you like.

  • Water purifiers

    Yes, very very good water, I can only drink water from my house without noticing a weird taste. Even bottled water tastes weird. I dont remember what it costs, I'm sure you can get one online for less, the one at home depot is 280 now. It is has 2 prefilters for minerals, chemicals, etc then the reverse osmosis filter for everything else.


    Basically you tee off a line from your tap water into the system. My filter takes about 1 hr to filter a gallon, but it is very old. It stores clean water in a separate tank, mines holds 2 gallons.


    Do you remember the water in the bahamas as good? Reason I ask is we had the president of a reverse osmosis filter company come by and show us the systems he sends to bahamas to make salt water into drinking water.

  • Water purifiers

    Youd be surprised what's in the water. In one of my sisters medical classes they had to bring in a drinking water sample from home. They placed it in a agar plate which allows the present bacteria to grow.


    Some people had bacteria from fecal matter and all other kinds of weird shit growing in it. My sisters was the cleanest. We have a reverse osmosis filter, but has lasted us over 8 years. We bought it because the water coming to our older house was almost piss yellow and had red particles in it.


    Just as a reference a reverse osmosis filter will take salt out of salt water.

  • PB Fish- "Sweet Dreams" knocks 'em out

    At the end of the day Kris decided to stop of on a deep wreck to see if we could catch some AJ. He and Jim jumped in. Kris comes up fighting an AJ and holds it a 50ft. Jim dives down and misses a shot on an AJ, as he reloads Kris talks me into getting into the water to see if I can catch an AJ as well.


    I jump in reluctant to see anything. Jim shoots a bigger AJ and starts fighting it (lower of the three in pic). A dive down and see Jims fish, Kris's fish fighting on the lines. I spot a nice AJ, next to it is a bigger AJ and I line up my shot. A bit further down I see an even bigger AJ but decide not to chase it since it seemed I was pretty deep and would have to fight a fish on the way up. It was directly under me and all I saw was the top of its head and it was pretty dark.


    I pull the trigger and the AJ doesnt even flicker.


    "Sweet Dreams" put 'em to sleep

  • Feeding dogs natural food

    Saw an episode on tv where they made raw dog food for sale. It was called BARF, form what I saw it was mostly everything left over from a butchered cow. Things like mostly stomachs, hearts, tongues, liver, spleen, etc.
