No problem! $48 Walmart out the door!

Temperature here are soaring this week and she has to go back to work (guidance counselor) in 2 weeks. She is happy as a clam. [^]

    she wont do it. She has seen a snake, a turtle and a big grass carp. She fears there may be great whites in there.

    That looks like a good deal for $48.

    We're running late with our pool this year. We've not even done maintenance on it yet. In fact I've not even gotten it down out of the attic to blow it up yet.

    The two eyed trout are holding up very well with all of the colors intact and the poly keeping off the rust.

    Looks like the dock turned out well, Mr. Cheese.

    Nice size for the two of you. With the help of a bowl of beans and a glass of milk you could turn it into a jaCuzzi for her![:D]

    The single grass carp came from the fish farm that stocked it.

    Grass Carp are sterile.They cannot mate.Eventually, it will just die of old age. Friend has 3 in his pond.When it rains a lot they come up and graze on the lawn grass..

    I assume they put the carp in there for a reason, I don't think I should kill it yet. He said it would eventually get fat and lazy at which point he could be killed and replaced.

    ..We had a 16' x 32' pool that just outlived itself. I cut it up for scrap with an air chisel. Then, the wife put up one of those like Guv-Cheese's, but it was 15' across. That one took a few 12 ga. slugs. VERY satisfying! It emptied real quick, then I slit the bottom to drain the rest.

    Big spender. That is a lot of grass to mow. There is not that much grass in all of New Mexico. Except for the golf courses...

    I thought that's what you used, but I couldn't remember for sure. I know another guy who did one with a drill.




    Wallie has a post claiming he knows of a bullet to shoot a plastic bag of water without losing a drop of water. Sounds like you have a new backstop!
