I gotta add to this above. Puffer fish are fun to mess with, and it doesn't hurt them. Many times on SCUBA, I have chased down and caught puffers. They are rock hard when they puff up, since the fill up with water.

This makes them have too much mass to really do anything like swimming. So you can pass it back and forth to other divers like a slow basketball 60 feet underwater.

We useta have one named "Funny Face" in one of our salt water aquariums. He was hand tame. If you put your hand in the tank he would come over and lay in it so you could pet him with your other hand. He had a wonderful smile, and looked at you like a puppy:

We fed him his very best favorite: Fiddler crabs. We had an unlimited supply. He would eat 30 or so at a time, and eventually he would no longer be able to swim... But his eyes would swivel as he laid on his bloated belly, watching a fiddler crab go walking by him.

The downside: When Funny Face took a dump, he fouled a 50-gallon tank! I had to use a special filter to recycle the water. It had parts of claws and legs from the sacrificial crabs, as well as simple crud. But he was worth it.

He thrived so well, he got to where the even bigger 75 gallon tank was too small. We took him down to the canal where we always got our fiddler crabs to turn him loose. My son, Scooter was 14 at the time, and was extremely fond of our pet puffer. So he was delegated to turn it loose.

This led to a Family scene well remembered by Puck, Scott, Herself, and me: Scotty picked up Funny Face and walked out shin-deep in the canal and turn him loose.

Funny Face swam three feet, did a U-turn, swam back and plunked down between Scotty's bare feet. Scotty moved. Funny Face moved between again. A couple more moves, and Scotty found the grit to leave the water. Funny Face came into about 6 inches of water at the canal's edge, and laid there looking at all four of us.

Scotty cried. (I got a little chokey, too.)

Wow .Almost like what happened to the same fish in "Finding Nemo.."
 
and that could be to Honor my little brother who died on the 4th of July…..he could have been born that year , no?

fuvckin drunk driver
You've lost a sister and a brother to a drunk driver? That sucks big time.
 
Was that subbie?
No, a different pretty young lady.
According to my deceased brother Redskin, you gotta make sure you wash your moustache well before kissing your lady's nether regions, too.
Wash your mouth too.
after 14 months the gubberment has approved another suppressor for me to play with...this one is for the big dogs...gonna head out this week and find some sub sonic ammo...may the games begin...
What caliber?
 
@Bubba.....where the farg are you? Haven't been on since last Monday. Miss ya.
Ive been jacking around with getting a hot water heater installed. Couldn't leave work early enough to meet repair guy, so had to reschedule. Finally got it installed today.

Boy the price of hot water heaters is up! I did have him redo a bunch of copper pipe that had a slight leak while he was at it. I also had him unhook and bypass the pipes to an old rainsoft unit that has been dead for years and haul both rather large and unmerciful heavy parts off as well. All said and done, about twenty six hundred, along with the other stuff. The one it replaced was about 800.00 installed! I didn't have all the other stuff, but heater alone was bad enough. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I also got my Turkish Benelli M4 clone ready to go, figured out how to disassemble it and remove trigger group to allow removal of standard stock and handgrip, (like an AR) and install of Panzer collapsible stock. Extended mag tube, speed rail on shell release, and oversized bolt handle from Dave's metal works

what kind of h20 htr I assume oil
 
a new design that works with ammo from 9mm up to .45 cal...it's called banish 45...just pick the correct adapter for the thread count and pitch and it'll work on AK's, AR's, and just about any other piece I have...
I like the 45 caliber for subsonic rounds. The most mass moving at the slower speed.
