Ground has been broken for the koi pond. My oldest son wanted to get the first foot dug but had to stop when it started raining.

Are you going to use de”icers, bring the koi into the garage or dig it like 4 feet deep?

What, that’s it? My hummingbird feeder pole is straight? Jeez you’re slipping in your old age! I will have a section under the waterfall that is that deep but I’m also considering a de-icer.

I had a koi pond I'm my dining room in CA. nice 6" koi. then they just all disappeared. I know it was the cat but I found "nothing". including litter box remnants of Skelton.

I know, from the people who have them that I talked to, the big problem here are the blue herons treating your koi ponds like buffets. You didn’t happen to keep blue herons in your house in CA?

Feeling a little nostalgic this morning. Not really sure why. Anyways let’s put some faces to the people that raised me. This the three of us back in 2013 when my parents were celebrating their 50th

Great stuff Steve. Keep that memory and legacy going my friend

 

[kingranch2003]

Good afternoon folks

@kingranch2003 i know it not to scale or really too accurate but here’s a little something I just did after reading about your fams line of work and also I know how hard it is to make a living this way nowadays

I absolutely love this brother! Very, very cool man. Yes it is dying out in a way. It's cheaper to import Chinese shrimp than to buy our own wild caught Gulf shrimp. Mississippi actually enacted a law that restaurants and markets, must label their shrimp as domestic or imported.

They actually came in and DNA tested the shrimp and issued heavy fines to violators. The industry is seeing a minor uptick because of it.

Great doodle Steve!

you'll want one of these then. I heard raccoons like to wash their hand in the pond after they eat. Also is great in fall. do you have fall there?

 

[kingranch2003]

That is my plan. My hearts been doing some funny things nothing major but I'm going to call the cardiologist tomorrow to see if maybe we need to adjust my meds.

Wishing you only the very best my friend

totally missed this. yeah, that an important one to have checked on. @Calmwaters
I guess that's why you haven't been on much. though I haven't been on a lot either.

 

[kingranch2003]

Yea I had to put sweats and a shirt on this morning. I may need a hoodie too.
I guess cold is subjective, lol.

Yep that's long sleeve weather for me too.

 

[kingranch2003]

Hey John, I found your soup recipe!

You sure did!

..."any night of the week"

 

[kingranch2003]

Yeah, to give you an idea of perception on what’s cold, I’m wearing a zip up hoodie when it’s in the upper 30s

Same here. That's one of the 85 layers I would be wearing

 

[kingranch2003]

you finally got the SS John!

You know how bad I've been wanting one!!

 

[kingranch2003]

Since @That Crusso Kid is having trouble keeping up. I thought I'd save him a page or so of Good Mornings:

Good Morning

Good afternoon Tom! I cant wait to meet some of the new members, especially: ackwall, anafran, and Tim CBS!

 

[kingranch2003]

Good morning everyone.
Back from the gym (bi and back day) coffee time...
With the old tank coming down and the new modern bigger tank going up having some thoughts here.
maybe Convert one of the guest bedrooms into a coral farm since I have so much to frag and grow phtyo for all the shops around here and people I know and most important for the new display tank.
Thinking of going back to importing fish again like I used to do on the east coast in Conn, was doing it more specific to people orders and not just a mass alot of fish that do not have a preplanned home..
Girl already has T-shirt design...and she will make them at her work...
Who wants a free shirt...would be cool if I could send a cup of coffee with each shirt..You know me---coffee

That is my plan. My hearts been doing some funny things nothing major but I'm going to call the cardiologist tomorrow to see if maybe we need to adjust my meds.

I can fully understand that feeling. I was diagnosed with aFib arrhythmia back in around 2016. I hope that they can figure out and get things more comfortable for you again.

 

[kingranch2003]

well soon I will be going to a specialized team that is strictly on call for HRS..Kinda like very early part-time retirement...so just planning for what to do that will not have me wearing black everyday....

Hostage rescue? High risk? Im trying to figure out what hrs stands for Rumple
