Hi. My name is Sherita. And I am a coralholic. Pleased to meet you. Good grief, it is entirely possible to have too many corals.
-
And another free bump. I use these fixtures on my shallow zoa tanks. And I absolutely love them.
-
Happy Dance! While moving some zoas around today I found the BHBEB's that my urchin stole. They were right side up, and had multiplied!
-
I went to the dome today looking for pipefish. I left with pipefish, emerald crabs, possum wrasse, cleaner wrasses, and corals. How exactly does that work?!
-
Dang, clothespins are getting harder and harder to find. I guess next time I will have to order them online.

Names are up

They don't all have names, but I will put names to the ones I know

Oh yay. I've got to work on the truck again. Now it's a bad radius arm bushing.

108.6 degrees right now. Wow.

I guess yahoo wasn't satisfied with screwing up their email. Now I see they have ruined yahoo news as well. Off to find my news somewhere else.
-
I scored a huge elephant mushroom and some truly awesome zoas at the Dome today! I can't believe that no one had grabbed those zoos. Pics in the morning. Don't hate.
-
What are the odds that I would have TWO zoa eating fish in the same tank?!? The tail spot blenny was eating the skirts, the stupid scopas was eating entire polyps. And yes, before you ask, I saw this with my own eyes. The blenny is in the fuge, the tang in a tank with no zoas. ARGH!

The differential is on the bench and now I'm just waiting for the pest office to deliver the goods. The diff came down easy, but I'm betting it won't be that cooperative going back up. Heavy bugger.
-
The final step of tear down will be this morning. Dropping the differential so I can remove the stub axle. My new one should be here within a few days, then I can start putting it back together again. Everything is ready.....bearings and seals in place, balljoints have been pressed in, new ujoints installed. Now, I'm just waiting on the pest office to deliver my last, very necessary part. I sure hope it goes back together easier than it came apart Finding some of the parts for this thing is like a very un-fun where's waldo. This particular truck changed four times in the first five months of 1988, so when you try to find parts......maybe you found the right one, maybe you didn't. It's particularly infuriating version of the Ford shell game.
-
Yeah, I've searched everywhere. I want to change them out, so if I bust something while I'm away from home I'll have a better chance of finding parts at a 4wd shop. Mine can be cranky about locking in, so I normally drive with my hubs locked. If I need 4wd, it's just a clutch away. I have no urge to get into an argument with my hubs when I'm in a position to really need them.
-
While one would think things would be dead on, so far I've found that to be not too on target Oil seals - unobtainium ujoints - unobtainium spindle bearings - obtanium, after referring to the big book 'o parts hubs - do. not. exist. Thankfully, the knuckle out conversion won't be hard, the Dana 44 front diff is common as dirt, but from the knuckles out my truck is one rare beastie. I always hate it when you are working on something and go "what is THAT part?!" I'm having fun with the stabilizer bar link bolts....metric nuts, sae bolts. Who thought that was a good idea? And the bushing replacement kit I bought has four little bushings in it that fit NOTHING on my truck. Somewhere, someone else bought that kit for those four little bushings, and are wondering what the 8 little top hat looking things and four roll pins are for (that's the parts I needed).
-
This I understand all too well. The top hat hubs were only used from 88 to 88 1/2, then went extinct. They are the weirdest looking hub I have ever seen, and impossible to find replacements for. I'm going to start the search soon for a used axle from a D44 that will fit my truck, and then steal the stub axles, spindles and hubs from it to convert my truck over. Unobtainium - more common than you think. Anyone who has worked on an older vehicle has run into this. I love it when you go to the parts store for something, and they look at you like you have three heads. The crazy ujoints on my front end didn't exist in the book, we had to bust out a mic and then match up the measurements.
-
Somewhere in the next year I'm going to do a knuckle out conversion on it. Thing has those weird top hat hubs, can't find parts anywhere. They are made of unobtanium. I'm going to convert it over to Warn hubs.
